Flickr

I may be on vacation, but I am still busy working on Etsy related things...

1) I have finally joined the ranks of everyone else that has a Flickr account. I am still working on adding all of my pictures, but you can click here to check out what I have so far.

2) I have also been randomly distributing some of my business cards at restaurants/etc. around the area. They all have special coupon codes on the back, so if/when someone uses one of them, I will have an idea of where the card was found and whether or not my promo ideas are working. So far I've left them at tables with the tip, on random boards, and I even left one in a bathroom...

3) I'm also working on a few new pieces. I didn't bring any beads or anything here with me, but I started to get withdrawals so I went to the store and bought some beads and chain :)

It has also come to my attention that I have a LOT on my plate for the next few months. I am planning on doing a craft show at the end of August, Mankato Summerfest. I am also going to apply for, and (crossing my fingers), hopefully get accepted to, No Coast Craft-o-Rama. It would be a MUCH bigger show, on December 1st. And to top that all off, I have Christmas to prepare for. So if I end up doing both of those shows and trying to prepare my ETSY store for Christmas, I'm going to be a little bit busy. Class start again at the end of August, but I will cut down work hours, so I will probably have around the same amount of free time to work on Tangerine Sunshine...

So much to do, so little time... I will keep you updated on how things go!

I've been featured again

I just wanted to point out that I found another blog post about "Tangerine Sunshine", found here. If anyone else is interested in writing about me, your are DEFINITELY more than welcome to mention Tangerine Sunshine in your blog, website, etc.

Additionally, I am currently in the process of working on my first ever custom order (that wasn't a friend or family member). Two versions of my Jumbled Bruise bracelet, only in shades of pink instead! It's going rather well, although I am still waiting for some of the beads I ordered to arrive.

Other than that all is well in the world of Tangerine Sunshine. Next week I will be adding a lot of new stock to my shop, as well as trying out a ton of different promotional ideas. We will see how that goes, and I will post a list of everything I do with comments, etc.
