That's me! I would also add to my list - passionate (or obsessed - depends on who you ask) about crafting.
And there are so many others like me. Just recently, I joined a great group of crafters that have an online shop on http://storenvy.com. While I had an online shop already, I felt I was a tiny grain of sand and no matter how different I tried to look, I was getting lost in the full beach of sand, rocks and bigger rocks. So, I decided to open a Storenvy store, Twisted Thread and Hook and I'm starting big with the help of Lu & Ed. I still have my Etsy store and will keep both stores open as each of them have some good things about them.
Lu & Ed is celebrating a 3-year anniversary of her successful Storenvy shop. I could not be more happy for her and I hope that I would be able to do the same in 3 years as well.
And what is the best way to celebrate this big accomplishments? Share it with the fans and everybody who can put a check on any or all of the bullet points at the beginning of this post.
What does that means? A HUGE giveaway!
The contest is open from 12AM EST 4/7 to 12AM CST 4/13 2013.
