Well, aside from having to move this past weekend (and yes, I had just moved into my new place last month...), things have been going well.
Pridefest was on the 15th, and that went over really well. I didn't meet my goal of $100 in sales, but I do do better than at Summerfest. The colorful Devil Ducky earrings, keychains and zipper pulls were the biggest hit. I also got some sign-ups for my mailing list, which is pretty awesome. I gave away some Etsy sampler bags that I made with promos from a ton of awesome etsy sellers (list).
I'm also now a proud member of one of the newest Etsy streets teams -- EtsyU. Everything is still in the early stages, but it looks like this is going to be a fun group of people, and since it's all college aged (and some highschool) Etsyians, we can talk about ways to juggle class, homework, part time jobs, AND Etsy.
Let's see, what else am I working on... I'm going to do a promotional thing during the month of October for Breast Cancer Awareness month. I've been working on some pink items (not really my color, but I'm having fun with it so far). For all my pink item sales, I'm going to donate a certain amount to breast cancer research. I'm not sure what that amount should be -- 10%? 15%? Any suggestions?

15% is the general amount of profit a company will give to said charity for the purchase of a product. It's usually enough to make people say it's for a good cause, and make them buy it :P
