And my second!

Yip, I had barely time to relist my first expired listing, and be delighted at the fact that relisting gives me back my views and hearts (the only ones I'm getting, btw!!), when - I checked craftcult only moments later and saw that I still only had 20 items listed!! It's a conspiracy!

To cheer myself up, I have given myself a new avatar: the nice cherry red celtic heart...

On my map: Oklahoma!

Oh yes, I am so grateful and happy - a wonderful lady in Oklahoma has seen the light and bought the red/gold Claddagh Ring card! Phew! 'Cos I was starting to wonder if I was the only one who kinda liked it...if I do say so myself *blush!*

And I'm also happy that it gave me the shove I needed to make an effort with finding a consistent package for single cards at least: I always knew I wanted it to have a board backing, and to be something that needed to be 'opened' - that anticipation is what it's all about, isn't it? And it had to be something that I could put together quickly and efficiently (I don't want the packaging to cost more in time or material than the card itself!). And I'm pretty happy with how this one combined all of the above...

So there's a board, glued onto an A4 sheet of nice textured card with my etsy avatar and contact details printed on the back; I scored along the board and cut out the 4 corners, so I'm left with 2 small and 2 big flaps. The small ones are folded first, and the big next, and then it is tied closed with a little red ribbon. Yes, in a bow. I can't help myself!

Sad Etsy Day

Aw, I was away all day yesterday, with no access to the internet between 9am and 11pm, and INEVITABLY couldn't help but think that somehow Fate was watching and waiting for just this opportunity to rock my Etsy world....

....it didn't.

Nobody loves paperpennies. Not yesterday anyway. Or the dozen times I've already checked today! Sad face!

And I had a new Avatar with the name on all professional and everything!
