Entering the World of Blog :)

I feel like I've landed in a foreign land. Blogs are for other people...not me. Or so I thought.

I recently joined the Etsy community http://www.etsy.com/ - an amazingly talented group of folks that exhibit and sell their handmade (totally handmade) work on a group website. Based on an article a few days ago in the New York Times, this little venture started just 2 years ago is taking off now fast and furious. Over $4 million dollars worth of handmade art/craft was sold on Etsy just in the month of November. December is already a record breaker.

So in the few weeks I've been on Etsy, I've learned a lot about self-promotion.....and a lot about blogs. I thought I would start a blog and just begin to ramble to myself and see how it goes. I may find it disconcerting to talk to myself...or I may find I love it.

I plan on working on my Profile next, so I won't give all that info here. I will list a few of my items currently on Etsy so you can take a peek if you'd like.
