Happy October!! Just a few more days until I announce the big “Birthday/October/Happy Etsy Anniversary To Me Sale”
You know, I get so focused on “me” and “my shops” that it’s easy to forget just how HUGE etsy is! This week has been so much fun, seeing all the products that shop owners have suggested. I think I may be able to write about three more posts, with all the “Fun Fall Finds” I’m… finding.
Here are today’s items:

I posted in the forums at etsy yesterday, asking for Fun Fall Finds, and wow, did I get a fabulous response!
From paintings to knit items to vintage… you won’t believe how many great fall oriented items there are for sale right now. I will be posting “fun finds” for a couple of weeks to showcase everyone who shared.
I’ll do a few at a time. I posted a few of the fun finds yesterday… and here are a few more!

October already!? Where DID the summer months go?
If you are like me, you aren’t QUITE ready for fall, but at the same time you’ll be glad to welcome cooler weather and fun things like pumpkin carving and costume planning.
I am especially fond of October, as it’s my birthday month. It also marks the time of year where the weather in Vegas starts to become bearable again. Both of things make me happy.
And I have one more reason to be excited about October – on the 31st it will be ONE YEAR since I began loading up my Delight Design etsy shop and became an “official” seller at etsy. I can’t believe a year has come and gone… and in that time, I’ve added TWO new shops. (Yes, three is a bit much, but it’s also a lot of fun!)
I will be celebrating my birthday, the cooler weather, AND my one year etsy anniversary with a HUGE Sale-A-Bration, for the ENTIRE month of October. I’ll unveil all the info about the month long sale on October 4th (my birthday).
In the meantime, check out some fun fall finds from etsy…

Well, we’ve had a very busy week and a half around here, including adding a couple of kids and a Mema and Papa to the household for the next two weeks. That’s my excuse for being late with the Giveaway Winners!
So… better late than never….
The winner of the Barbie doll dress is…. Lenetta!

You’ll have email from me shortly, ladies!
Thanks to all who visited and joined in!
We’re having a lot of fun with the Heavenly Homemakers Spring Giveaway Carnival – how about you??
Today’s giveaway item is courtesy of Cheryl and MyCraftBooth.etsy.com. Cheryl is a long-time crafter, but is fairly new to etsy. These days she does a lot of sewing and quilting, and you can see a couple of her fabulous quilts in the links in the right sidebar.
Cheryl is giving away a fun, hand-made Barbie doll dress. Isn’t it cute:
So, to enter this giveaway, leave a comment and tell us who might like to have a dress for their Barbie doll. You? Your daughter? Niece? And if you have any special doll or Barbie memories, feel free to share those too! Your comment will be your entry into the giveaway.
We’ll pick ONE winner through random.org at the end of this week! Please remember to leave your email address. If you win, we’ll need to have a way to contact you!
And don’t forget to click on over to Heavenly Homemakers for a bunch more fun giveaways!
Over at Heavenly Homemakers, our good friend Laura is hosting a Springtime Blog Giveaway Carnival, and of course we have to jump in and participate! You can expect to see at least three giveaways from this blog this week!
Here’s the first one, from Char…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A CUSTOM PHOTOCARD OR ANNOUNCEMENT:
How does a FREE photocard design (AND 25 FREE prints) sound? Besides blogging about crafts (and digital scrapbooking), I also run a digital scrapbook/graphic design business. I offer a variety of products, like birth announcements, save the date cards, graduation announcements, wall art, and more.
You can see sample cards up close over at my etsy shop.
And, this first giveaway is for a CUSTOM design and 25 FREE cards. The cards can be 4×6, 5×7, or 5×5 size and will come with envelopes ready to send to your friends and family. Need a birth announcement? No problem. Need a graduation announcement? NO problem! I’ll create what YOU want and need!
So, just leave a comment about what kind of photo card design you might choose, and you’ll be entered to win! I’ll pick ONE winner through random.org at the end of this week! Please remember to leave your email address. If you win, I’ll need to have a way to contact you!
(Because I’ll be mailing the cards to you, you need to have a US mailing address to win the free printed cards. If you are outside of the US, you can still enter, but I’ll send you the card design in digital format so you can get the cards printed on your own – so sorry for this technicality!)
I’ve been browsing all day at Etsy, enjoying the energy that is coming from the site today. I did a few searches, checked the forums, and even added a couple of new products to my shops.

Did I say it yet? HAPPY ETSY DAY!
Do you have any favorite finds? Feel free to share links in the comments!
Today is Etsy Day, and I am joining in the fun of celebrating!
What is ETSY, you ask? It’s a “place to buy a sell all things homemade”!
And it’s addictive, if you like arts and crafts at ALL. I joined over a year ago, and browsed off and on for months, and finally in October I decided to get a shop going. And then I started REALLY shopping, because I met so many fabulous people in the forums and the chat rooms… and it was hard NOT to buy! Thankfully I managed to sell a few things too, and I now have TWO etsy shops. (Links to my shops are in the far right side-bar).
And, one of my most favorite things to do is POUNCE. I didn’t find this feature right away – probably sometime near Christmas last year. It’s essentially a way to find out about all the NEW shops.. and those with NO sales in them yet…. (OR you can see what has JUST SOLD, but I like undiscovered better). You can change the settings and see up to 10 shops at a time (which I like to do), and you’ll get to see up to 5 featured items from each shop. Browse, pounce again, browse, pounce again. I tell you, it’s addictive!
So… click on over… check out ETSY. Check out POUNCE… and consider purchasing from someone who has yet to be discovered!
Happy ETSY Day!
