Catching Up - Part 12 - Etsy

Etsy is going very well! We have now reached 291 sales! We made around $700 in the month of February as well! We are beyond exited about where our Etsy adventure is going and we are now expanding!

I am in the process of adding lots of new crayons shapes too the shop. I believe I have somewhere around 45 new products to add! I hope to have them all listed with in the next 2 weeks. 

I also bought a new background and I think it looks just fabulous! Check it out for yourself! I LOVE it! I am even thinking about re-doing all my old pictures on this new background.

The other major development going on with Etsy is........ we are preparing for the opening our soap favor shop! We have bought all the soap supplies and plan to launch on or before May 23rd. I am so exited for this! We are going to have around 50-70 products to start off with but that will just grow as time goes by. We are hoping to be making $700 a month on this shop as well for a total of $1,400 a month, that is our current goal. 

Now I know you are just dying to know what my new shop's name and theme is and so here it is! Introducing our new soap favor shop.....

Smellepahnt's! I can't wait to see where this adventure takes us!

Recent eBay Steals

For some reason I find it difficult to post while I am in Kissimmee, I think this may be due to the fact that I get super distracted with everything else that is going on. But never the less, because I didn't post Friday, Saturday, or Sunday's entries on the correct day, today (Monday), I will be posting 4 entries +1 extra. Many other weekends may be like this as well.

I am absolutely IN LOVE with eBay! I swear eBay really needs to go out of business before it steals up all of my money!  While I will not be able to purchase any new items from eBay (or anywhere else for that matter) for a very long while, I thought I would make a post about some recent steals that I got. By recent I mean within the past 6 months. I will not have another post like this for a long time. I do admit I can not wait to get financially on track again for more fun eBay bargains!
