New Year - New Adventures

So here we are 2012! We begin each year with resolutions for weight loss, living healthier, working on our shops, maintaining inventory, and a plethora of other miscellaneous things that arguably we have resolved every year since adulthood.

So I wanted to make a resolution that at least once a week I will post something on our blog from one of our team members. We will have monthly featured sellers that are either randomly chosen by the team leaders, or winners of treasury contests.

We are having a contest RIGHT NOW that will select the March featured seller! http://www.etsy.com/teams/5192/aretsy/discuss/9526416/
Submit your entry and get featured!

We are working on a redesign of the blog to include our directory of shops, which we have had over one third of our members respond with their information.

We are also looking on the interwebz for craft shows etc that occur around the state that our team members might be interested in attending. We of course want to throw our own, but in an effort not to over resolve for the year, we have that on the to do list.

We would love to see participation on the team discussion boards, Facebook, Twitter, comments to the blogs, everything. If you have suggestions, needs, questions, or just want a coffee chat these are the best places to meet up and get those things done.

Let's Go AREtsiers! Those other teams, bless their hearts, got nothing on the talents in the Natural State!

This is the items from our team member this week......
