Recently, I found myself bitten with the "Treasury Bug". For those of you who don't know what a treasury entails (and I didn't until recently), it is a collection of items, chosen and put together by Etsy members.
With the help of Seedlings Jewellry and Zigzagstitches I figured out how to choose the items, secure a spot, and even take a screenshot of the finished product for blog posting. Thanks friends.
This treasury is special. This is because it is in the main treasury and secondly because every single item in the treasury is from someone that I personally know and like! All of them are on Twitter and have helped me or been a friend in some special way. There are many others who have become friends to me and I am going to continue making "Friend Treasuries" in an attempt to include everyone. This is what makes it special to me!
In September, I will be returning to my teaching job and am not sure what I will be doing with my Etsy shop. We will have to see how busy I am with my new JK/SK class. (I hear you chuckling Catherine-Zigzagstitches) This has been an excellent experience for me and I want to say "thanks" to all of the blog followers, twitter friends, and customers that I have met during this endeavour.

Great job, SNL :) I go through fits & starts of treasury-making too — once you start, it's a little catching, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI hope to catch you on the fp one day soon!
