On our first anniversary on Etsy (17 April 2009), we sold a tee to a wonderful customer from Canada. I honestly have to admit that I haven’t been able to work on promoting our shop for the past 2 weeks, not to mention updating the shop. I have been so tied up at work that for the past 2 weeks, my typical day was: woke up at 8:00am, feed the dog and check the garden until 9:00am, check emails until 9:30am, breakfast until 10:15am, work in front of the computer until 12:30pm, lunch, work again until 3-4pm, check out my niece until 4:30pm, take a nap until 5pm, work again until 5:30pm, watch news on TV until 6pm, work in the garden and bring the dog out until 7:30pm, bake muffins and dinner at the same time until 8:30pm, work again until 11:30pm.
This explains why I couldn’t have time for our Etsy shop, which is, really sad.
I had a whole pack of supplies shipped to me about 3 weeks ago and they are still lying on my table. I have all my thoughts and ideas sketched down in my journal and they are still the same, no development.
So it really made my day when I woke up early in the morning and received notification from Etsy on the transaction. I immediately decided to include a little gift to thank her for reminding me that it’s our first anniversary on Etsy and I should really work harder or figure out a way that will work for me.
If you are reading, Kitt, thank you so much! :)
