Lazy Sunday

Mama Poochins says today is gonna be a lazy Sunday. Despite that fact, I have managed to create some new paper products, in between eating Hershey's eggs that I got on clearance, and surfing the net. It's hot out, about 80 degrees here, and I don't wanna go outside for sure. However, I am inclined to curl up on the floor and sunbathe with Mama Poochins, however I think I may use a more comfortable pillow!

Another Great Giveaway!

Once again, I have partnered with another fabulous Etsy talent to do a giveaway. This time it was onthedotcreations. If you are a lover of all things polka dotted, you definitely must check out her blog! She frequently has a giveaway, and is always highlighting random dotty stuff.

Anyway, the details....the giveaway runs from today through 9 AM on Saturday morning, so be sure to get your entry in! If you win, you get the ring and some random dotty paper products from my card shop.


Today is my baby's 9th birthday. We celebrated last Saturday, but I made him cupcakes to take to school today. Nothing special, just out of a box....but it's the thought that counts right? Anyway, I am going to go have lunch with him. :)

To Merge or Not To Merge, That is the Question...

I spent tons of time separating my Etsy shops so that my main shop wouldn't look all cluttered. At one point I was up to three shops. This past January, I finally got my branding and a look that I'm happy with for my Auntie Di's shop, so I'm pleased as punch with it. Now I am contemplating my paper shop and trying to figure out what to do with it. Do I put all my paper goods back into my regular shop? When I had it set up like that, sales on paper goods were very sluggish, almost nil. Or do I keep it separate and try to find some kind of branding I like for it? I think that's it, I'm not in love with the branding. It's cute, but cute is so not me. Maybe I could brand them the same, or would that be too confusing? Back when I had a lot of time to log in, log out, log in, log out I didn't mind three stores, but for the sake of my sanity now, I'm wondering if I shouldn't go back to one. To top it off, I always find that one of my shops is falling by the wayside in my efforts. I'm not treating them fairly.

If I combine them all again, would people be more likely to purchase combined items?
