Gone Missin'

Well, it may seem like I have dropped off the face of the planet - but I'm still here! I haven't had the time I'd like to devote to this blog, but it's for a good reason! The sales in my shop have been going through the roof and it's SO exciting - but it doesn't leave me with a lot of extra time to spend on other things! Since the last post I made on here - I made it to the front page of Etsy, I was featured in The Storque (Etsy's own blog), I was featured in EtsyKids' new online magazine (Modern Handmade Child) and I was also been featured in several Etsy treasuries and various blogs all over the blogosphere - it's such an exciting time! When I started out on this little adventure, otherwise known as Lil Boo & Co., I didn't dream that it would pick up so fast! I'm so absolutely thrilled and I have the best customer's on Etsy!! Yeeeeee!

So...anyways......
I just wanted to update y'all on a few things -

• Lil Boo & Co. is finally on Twitter! It's about time...I know! So come one, come all...follows my tweets @LilBooandCo.

• Lil Boo & Co. has a Facebook Fan Page - become a fan & tell others too! I'd love gather 100+ fans so then Facebook will allow me to get a nice 'n easy link...instead of a bunch of rambled & random letters! Plus that's where I announce all the new and exciting things happenin' in the shop - such as new listings, holiday specials, discount codes, FREEBIES and more! Become a FAN today!
  

• I've started to list a few Halloween goodies...and they are already flying out of the shop!

Take a peek...

- Halloween Lil Scribblers -
They come in a set of 9, but you can order as little or as many as you'd like with a custom listing! They can also be packaged individually for easy Halloween party gifts or treats as well - perfect for the classrooms or costume parties!

There are many deisgns to choose from and more Halloween items will be added shortly...including cusomized favor/treat bags, pumpkin spice scented play dough and more!

Be sure to check the shop often to see what's being listed...don't forget to check my "sold" orders as well...you just never know what you might find in there!

Exciting News!

I have some very exciting news to share! I've been bottling it up for a while and I've just been bursting at the seams trying to contain my excitement...and now it's official! I can share the news with you!

Many of you know the Etsy has a wonderful community of crafters, but not all of you know that under that HUGE umbrella of crafters, there are many more specific communities of crafters - communities and groups where crafters can come and join in with others and focus on a particular craft or location of where their craft takes place - these groups are called Etsy Street Teams. The groups are so special because crafters can work together to make their own craft and the crafts of other team members SO much better! I have been so thrilled to be a part of such a team...I'm a VERY proud member of the EtsyKids Team!

During this past 7 months or so - as I've begun to share my own handmade creations with everyone via my Etsy shop - I've had the incredible opportunity of having excellent mentors and other shop owners help me to refine and define my craft and skills...many of those have also been EtsyKids members - to which I'm SO grateful! We chat back and forth, offer positive and critical help to each other and even support each others shops by making purchases...all for the sake of making EtsyKids' shops THE BEST shops that Etsy has to offer! We take pride in knowing that EtsyKids' shops have a high standard to hold to - not just any crafter of children's items makes the cut - EtsyKids members have excellent customer service and feedback, quality items and custom creations unlike any other!

During the last several months, the members over at EtsyKids have been putting their heads together to try to come up with a method of sharing our shops with the masses - not just a means of "bragging" about our shops, but to truly share with customers all over the world, that if they're looking for items in the children's department - there's no need to look anywhere other than the EtsyKids' shops on Etsy! From clothing to hair accessories, art supplies to one of a kind crafts, bags, dolls, toys and books...and just about anything in between - you'll find it all in the EtsyKids' shops!

So, after much brainstorming and planning and doing, EtsyKids is SO thrilled to be able to announce the newest feature of the group - Modern Handmade Child, a {free} online magazine that showcases EtsyKids shops, tutorials, articles and more!

The premiere issue of Modern Handmade Child is set to go live in August...but until then, we'd love if you'd help us spread the word! Snag the button for your blog or send the link to others!
