Some great give-aways


 
As many of you on-line can attest, there are many wonderful people in art and craft field to meet. I wish I could say that I meet as many generous and helpful people in my day to day life as I do through Etsy, and Twitter. The first person I would like to introduce you to is Jennifer of Just Jingle . I met Jennifer on Facebook and when she mentioned that she was always looking for artists to feature, I quickly rose my hand. Boy am I glad I did. Take a look at the nice feature Jennifer has done on me and then take note of the give-away we have put together for you. As a gift to our readers and fans, I'm giving away one of my "Speckled Mushrooms" pendants to one lucky winner. This is a world-wide draw and you'll notice that there are plenty of ways to gain additional entries. Good luck to all of you and I'm really looking forward to hearing your comments.





The next person I wanted to tell you about is Gilliauna who runs an Etsy shop called Bits and Beads. Gilliauna has consistently been retweeting my Twitter  posts for ages now and really has been an all-around supportive person to my on-line pursuits. Gilliauna has even been so kind as to have mentioned me as a favorite in interview on Audrey's Give-away Blog. Take a look at the blog and you'll notice a great give-away of a $20 gift certificate to Gilliauna's jewelry shop. Here too, note that there are many opportunities to earn extra entries. Start your window shopping now.

Etsy Canada



As you browse the shops of Etsy, you may notice that the majority of the sellers are from the United States. As a Canadian I have been constantly trying to connect with other Canadians on the site as well as elsewhere online. I believe in supporting local and national sellers whenever I can so that our own home grown talent gets the recognition it deserves. In my own opinion, I feel that we don't appreciate the creative people we have in Canada until that talent leaves for south of the border and is recognized there.Well, Christina of Akane Designs seems to feel the same way and has been a constant supporter of Canadian Etsy sellers. Through various blog posts, forum threads and Facebook pages, Christina has initiated connections between Canadian sellers over and over. Christina's most recent contribution to the Canadian Etsy community has been the formation of the Etsy Canada NING social site. Through this site we've been able to connect easily and more visually as a group. I love the NING networking format and I find it very easy to navigate and search on topics and discussions. Feel free to browse the site and get taste of the talent that's available north of the 49th parallel.

Below are some picks of my own within the Etsy Canada group. Enjoy.
