Simply Crafting

Well it’s now October so it’s time once again to thank all you top droppers from Entrecard. I really do appreciate each and every visit from you guys and this is just my little way of saying thank you. So enjoy the linky love and I hope to see you all again at the first of next month.

Note: There are only eight blogs listed in this list as two have been deleted from Entrecard.

As you can see I haven’t been in here in a while. Life has kind of gotten a little hectic and busy all of a sudden. The biggest news I have to report is that I went back to work. Selling my crafts and doing a little bit of paid blogging hasn’t really worked out very well so when I was offered my old job back I jumped at it. I’ve been back for a couple of weeks now so with that, the kids and looking after the house I haven’t been able to get very much else accomplished.

After I get my groove back I’m going to try to get back into the swing of things so hopefully soon you will see me back in here more often with more pictures and progress done on some crafts.

Well I’m starting to get back into the groove with Entrecard and this blog once again. So I would like to take this opportunity to thank all you folks from Entrecard who continuously drop by my site each day. I really do appreciate your visits so “Thank you”.

For all you Entrecard people out there, you probably have noticed that the Entrecard is back! At the first of the month I got pretty discouraged with this site. In all honesty I thought by taking the Entrecard widget off this blog that it would help my site. I HONESTLY don’t have any clue why I came to this conclusion. So after monitoring this blog for the last three weeks, I have decided that utilizing Entrecard is way better than not using it.

So if your here from Entrecard then I say welcome back and I truly did miss you all. And I promise I’ll never ever do anything so silly ever again!!

Yeah I know it’s been a while. But I’ve been so busy. Been busy creating jewelry for an upcoming craft sale this week so I haven’t been posting quite so much. But I had to deliver all my stock tonight so I’m free for a little while. Other than creating jewelry I haven’t been doing very much crafting. Last weekend I had the husband home on holidays plus the two kids so they keep me really busy. Now it looks like I’m headed back into the work force (less time crafting) so I really don’t think life is going to slow down any time soon.

But I promise I will try to get in here more often, and hopefully soon I’ll have all the things done on this blog that I’ve already told you about.

So…until next time…

So I bet when some of you loyal Entrecard droppers dropped into this site today you seen something very different going on in here. Yes, that’s right. I started to do the blog overhaul that I had told you about in a previous post. I took off the Entrecard widget. The reason for this is because I’m going in a totally different direction with this blog. I have decided to try to concentrate more on selling my jewelry. I have discovered that although I receive a lot of traffic from Entrecard, this traffic is not buying my products. So I’m going to start focusing more on participating in forums that are more geared towards the selling of my products. The main reason why I took off the Entrecard widget is because I won’t be dropping from this blog anymore and didn’t feel that it would be fair to all you droppers out there.

So as you can see I have started the overhaul. And although this blog won’t be participating in Entrecard any longer, I do really hope that you will continue to stop by and see what I’ve been up to. Look forward to more changes coming very soon. There going to be big ones!

Yay! I’ve been tagged. This tag will give you a little more insight into the crafter behind the crafts. I feel so special when someone tags me and when it comes from one of my favorite blogger’s it makes it that much better. So first of all I would like to say thanks to a very special lady over at Craft Therapy. I hope you all enjoy getting to know me just a little bit better.

The one thing I have learned while setting up this blog to try to get sales from my handcrafted items, is that to get sales you need visitors. One of the most effective ways I found in getting visitors is through the use of Entrecard. So as my way of saying thank you to all you visitors and droppers I would like to do this post to recognize the people who are loyal droppers on this site. So if your in this list then a great big thank you goes out to each and everyone of you. If your not on the list but would like to be, all you need to do is drop.

I really do love contests! Who wouldn’t love the chance to win something for free?? My favorite type of contest has definitely got to be a crafting contest. And it’s just icing on the cake when it’s held by one of my favorite craft bloggers. Yes, I would be talking about the creator over at craft therapy.

Right now the Craft Junkie (I really do get a kick out of that name) is holding an awesome contest to celebrate her birthday. She is giving away a customized bracelet to one lucky participant (hopefully that’ me LOL). But because I’m such a nice person I have decided to share this chance with you all. It’s super easy to get into her contest with several chances to win. You can do a post a post about her contest on your blog, leave her a comment that you entered and subscribe to her blog feed.

Easy right?! So what are you waiting for? You only have until July 24 to enter so get moving. Oh yeah, and tell her Kim sent ya!

First of all I need to thank Lynne for presenting me with this wonderful award. I am extremely honored that she likes this site as well as my creations as much as she does. It gives me goosebumps when I know someone appreciates all the hard work that goes into creating crafts. And since she is a crafter herself, she can appreciate my hard work. So Thank You Lynne for this wonderful award. I really do appreciate it.
