Shop Talk - & A GIVEAWAY!!!

It's a bit hard to see here on my blog

but I finally made a new banner for my etsy shop

I wanted it to match my new blog design a bit

I wish I could figure out why in the world

it looks grainy every time I upload it to etsy?

I've tried playing with different resolutions

but nothing seems to help...

any one know what's going on?

I've finally updated my shop with all my new hair pin sets

I've been really down these last few days

a lot of self doubt.... ick

but I'm trying to pick myself up again

am keep on keeping on

I could really use some help promoting my shop...

I'm not very good at this part of the business

and I know 2-3 views a day is not going to do the job

so...

here is the part where I kindly ask

you to share with your friends

a little mention on facebook, twitter or such

it's easy as pie to find an item in my shop that you like

and click on the share button that fits you

and in return I would like to offer a special gift

the chance to win a $10 voucher

towards any item in my shop

(to be used at anytime)

+ I will also give a $5 voucher to one of your friends

(anyone of your choosing)

you can just let me know who you would like the voucher to be sent to

or have a giveaway on your blog - for all of your friends.

Just leave a note on this post to sign yourself up for this giveaway

I will announce the winner next Monday

One last thing...

have any of your etsy seller tried using the showcases

to get extra exposure

and hopefully some sales?

if so has it helped?

I've signed up for two this month

and I am really hoping it will help
