I was just typing away a blog post (basically saying the same thing as above) and hit a button on accident - poof! - it was gone...*sigh*<br /><br />I'll keep making posts here and there, but dear friends, I'm not sure I'll ever be the awesome blogger most of you are.<br /><br />I sit here at my work desk on a beautiful Monday afternoon dreaming of sunshine, jewelry, gardening and photography. Seems life would be that much better if they were my only responsibilities - alas, it is not likely so anytime soon. Thank goodness I have a day job with great people or I'd be miserable. :)<br /><br />So, here's to another blog post in the coming weeks, maybe something with actually interesting content. Keeps your fingers crossed (or not)!<br /><br />Please keep checking in to my Etsy Team websites because there are LOTS of great artists and information on them everyday.<br /><br /><a href="http://etsymn.blogspot.com/">http://etsymn.blogspot.com/</a><br /><a href="http://etsytwitter.blogspot.com/">http://etsytwitter.blogspot.com/</a>NikkyLee Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07271590784847465883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-393081821346509410.post-17991084964317569562009-04-15T20:17:00.002-05:002009-04-15T20:25:27.131-05:00Etsy Sale and HandMade MN Shop of the Week!Hi everyone,<br /><br />Sorry that I've been MIA the last few weeks...between school, work, boyfriend and family emergencies life has been insane and my virtual world has been neglected.<br /><br />Here's the latest:<br /><br />♥♥♥NOW THROUGH MOTHER'S DAY (MAY 10TH), ALL JEWELRY PURCHASES $15 OR MORE WILL COME WITH A FREE PAIR OF EARRINGS!♥♥♥ Even if what you purchase already has earrings included, you will get another pair for free!

It might be time for you to get a Twitter account. <br /><br />I'm relatively new to twitter myself (say 6-8 weeks), but I've already grown to love my daily tweets. It's a great tool for networking quickly, easily and in a very fun way. You'll be amazed how many people you can follow and who want to follow you. Use it as a fun tool to talk about yourself and your business! I recommend keeping a good mixture of both or you could find people un-interested in your tweets and you may lose followers. Keep your tweets fun and interesting and throw in your occasional deal or listing and you'll have a blast.<br /><br />Get started here: http://twitter.com. You'll be on your way to happy tweets in no time!<br /><br />~NikkyLee<br /><br />Follow me on Twitter by clicking the symbol to the left or going to http://twitter.com/nikkyleedesigns.NikkyLee Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07271590784847465883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-393081821346509410.post-31606881398897542722009-02-23T17:51:00.002-06:002009-02-23T17:53:43.968-06:00Tweet Deck<span style="color:#6666cc;">Hey all,</span><br /><span style="color:#6666cc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#6666cc;">Great blogpost from my <strong>Great</strong> Etsy Twitter Team.

Although the camera was completely destroyed, I was able to carefully take it apart and safely recover the photos from its memory chip.<br /><br /><br />Well it turns out that after only 8 days the guy who put together the blog was contacted by the camera's owner:<br /><br />This evening, a mere eight days after setting up this blog, I received the email that I--and lots of other folks here--was hoping for! I will be sending the family's photos and movie clips back to them this week. I will leave this blog site up until the end of February, just for folks that might be checking back in to see the great news!<br /><br />Pretty amazing stuff! Through twitter, blogs, digg, etc. the owner was finally reunited with their lost camera and more importantly the images and videos it held.<br /><br />hooray for the internet! <a href="http://mattallenphotography.blogspot.com/"></a>NikkyLee Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07271590784847465883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-393081821346509410.post-36316405103564764032009-02-17T21:16:00.002-06:002009-02-17T21:22:30.172-06:00Etsy TeamsHey all,<br /><br />I've joined two Etsy Teams - Groups that work together to help promote each others hand made shops!<br /><br />Etsy Twitter - http://etsytwitter.blogspot.com<br />MN Street Team - http://etsymn.blogspot.com<br /><br />Both teams have WONDERFUL resources and contacts for those that make hand made creations!<br /><br />So many sites, networks and crafters to keep up with!<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />~NikkyLeeNikkyLee Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07271590784847465883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-393081821346509410.post-33390085533881582032009-02-10T13:00:00.006-06:002009-02-20T13:55:10.879-06:00Facebook and EtsyGreat, great, great blog post on how to get your Etsy site onto Facebook (click Title above to connect to the page).

I "craft" on the side - AKA - sit behind a desk 9 to 5, M-F. I started with making jewelry and found I had quite a knack and before I knew it I was dabbling in other projects like home-made ornaments, hair pins, "screen spiders", trinket boxes, seasonal wreaths, etc. I've done so many new pieces in the last year that I'm getting overwhelmed with all my "inventory." <br /><br />I'm hoping to set up an on-line store soon, I just have to get some more decent photos of my projects together before hand. In the meanwhile, I've included a short slideshow of some of my jewelry. If you're interested in purchasing something, want a custom design, have any questions or just want to chat - please e-mail me!<br /><br />Welcome and I hope to have some constructively fun stuff here soon.NikkyLee Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07271590784847465883noreply@blogger.com2
