It's been too long.......

I so wish I could be better about writing more frequently on here. In fairness, when you write for a living, it's somehow harder to find the time to do it just for fun!

Along with managing life in general, I've been toying with the idea of venturing into the world of online marketing. Namely, Etsy. Several people have suggested I get involved with that, which must mean some think my "therapy" could be worth something!

For those who don't know, Etsy is an online marketplace for home crafters. Amazing site and some incredibly talented people. Think of it as a craft mall on the Internet. I think the reason I'm even considering this is because holiday craft shows have totally lost their appeal to me. I tried a few a couple years ago and I'm not sure I agree with how some sponsors jury their vendors. How can truly handmade items (quilts, folk art painting, jewelry, etc.) compete with Gack at a buck a bag? Etsy is different, in that these are serious crafters, who enjoy the art itself and believe in quality goods.

So, I'm gonna let you vote. Venture over to Etsy, check out some of the vendors and see what you think. In the meantime, so you can compare, here's some stuff I've done recently.
