Welcome To What's Up With Me!!


This year I want to get personal, to just talk, I have used my blog for business for so long I have grown tired of trying to keep it up dated. SOOOOOO I thought I would give you pieces of my mind ... LOL little pieces at a time.
Now I will from time to time show you what's new in my etsy.com shop but mostly I just want to relax, unwind or get uptight whatever the day brings. But now I'm going to put into words what I'm thinking, what I'm going through, what I'm happy about.

This may become therapy, way cheaper this way!!!


So Welcome
!

GrandChild #8

WE have a new grandson!!  Miles Patrick Brumbly born Oct 3rd, 2011 about 8:30 am
although He did not care for the bright light in the room 

 he sure was ready to see His Mommy and to meet Daddy and his big sister Molly
Nothin but Love.  This baby will be exposed to lots of laughter so I will be watching for that first smile soon.
Molly told me she will bring Him to Our house everyday so I can hug him and kiss him.  I better hug and kiss on Molly first so she doesn't feel slighted by NaNa.  After all she knew me first.
WE now have 8 grandchildren ... 6 granddaughters and 2 grandsons.  I need a bigger dining room.

Any suggestions on how to raise some extra funds for a new dining room will be welcomed and appreciated.
We (Cecil and Myself) have been talking about adding on to the house toward the front where the deck is.  That area is right off the kitchen and it would make a wonderful big dining room. I am willing to give up the deck of course.  In my head I see it and it is long enough and wide enough for the long table of adults and a row of seats or padded benches along the windows will be great for all of these beautiful grandchildren.   I know they would like to sit and eat where they are high enough to see the grown-ups table and have their own little table in front of them.  Yes, Yes, Yes ...

Being Helpful ... using "HOW TO"

I started a team not long ago, but there was not much participation so my team merged with another team.
My reason for starting my own team has not changed it has only moved to a new location.

I want to help promote your shop,  in doing so I am hopefully promoting my own shops.

You have heard of what some call the "GOLDEN RULE" treat others the way you want to be treated, that is actually in the Bible (Matthew 7:12) Jesus gave us this principle in His Sermon on the Mount.  As a Christian I do try to live by this principle. 

I started my own team to help and to be helped.  I thought the fact that I have already learned how to do certain things HERE on ETSY would benefit others by making it easier for them to learn if they were given direction or instructions to talk them through the application or whatever new things they were attempting.  I know I would and will appreciate the knowledge of others when they post their "HOW TO".

Let's use an etsy mini as an example.  Although this is not a difficult task to undertake you don't know that yet if you have not made an etsy mini for yourself.
Or posted one on your blog.  What is a gadget and how do I get a gadget to turn into my etsy mini.  Well I wanted to help so I started a thread for just that.  HELPING!!

The reason I picked an etsy mini was because I have convo'd the HOW TO to several sellers I wanted to promote on my blog but they needed some instruction on getting the script.  So the idea for making an etsy mini the 1st benefit to my old team was born.   "HOW TO MAKE AN ETSY MINI" was started - no participation on my old team.

My old team now has a new home Sabre's Closet Team and the teaching thread also has a new home on Team Sabre -  Thank you Sue and Julia -
"HOW TO MAKE AN ETSY MINI"

Do you want to learn how to make an etsy mini to post to your blog or to post on someone else's blog.  Join our bigger even better team.  You can learn "how to" and you can teach us "how to" also... we have lots to learn and lots to teach each other.  

Tell me your "HOW TO"!!
