Crazy Life and Bootcamp
Life has been crazy these last few weeks. If I could share some of the things that happen at my job as a retail manager I would (maybe someday). I'm just not sure everyone would believe me!! I possibly have a day off tomorrow so I can spend some time creating new things for Mostly Sundays.
If you have never heard of a site called icraft you need to check it out. It's Canadian and is going to take over soon - it just might beat out that other one. I have been taking part in a boot camp on that site run by a wonderful lady, Christine. The bootcamp has taught me more than I ever thought I could grasp about online shops and marketing. The things you learn about marketing can be applied to any service or store that needs good exposure. I have a great looking blog, etsy banner, icraft shop thanks to finding out about Polka Dot Pixels at bootcamp.
On July 1, 2009 bootcamp is starting all over again and I highly recommend this for any newbie to the online selling experience. There are more than enough helpful lessons to be learned.
I myself, am anxiously awaiting the advanced bootcamp!! Just go to icraft.ca to sign up for the bootcamp starting July 1st. I can't say enough good things about it. It has helped me greatly and I've met some super helpful (and just plain nice) people at icraft.

I've been meaning to write this for over a week now. I want to give many many thanks to Polka Dot Pixels. She designed my new blog, designed my business cards, my etsy banner and my avatar for etsy and icraft. I'm just having a little technical difficulties (ie. my bad computer skills) setting up the avatar on icraft and the sidebars here on my google.
So I'm dedicating this entire blog to Emily at Polka Dot Pixels. She stayed up late many nights to create this for me and I love it. She put up with me not being able to install anything and she got me started.
My fellow bootcampers at icraft probably can't see my new avatar because I can't get rid of the old ugly one. I have a request for help into icraft so hopefully I can get it fixed this weekend and everyone can see it.
For all the bootcampers that don't have a banner and avatar and business cards - if you didn't win the draw I highly recommend hooking up with Emily to get some of this stuff done. Besides, it sounds like it may be a requirement for the advanced bootcamp!!!!
See all of you back at bootcamp. Here is Emily's sticker for Polka Dot Pixels.
Talk soon.

Okay, I'm falling down on the job here with updating my new blog.
I hope everyone likes all the hard work from Polka Dot Pixels. I thinks she did a wonderful job - I'm so happy with the etsy banner, avatar and icraft avatar. She also did my business cards and I love them. Thanks again to Emily at Polka Dot Pixels. Check out her etsy shop and she can do a makeover for your blog and shop!!
Morel to tell about the bootcamp on icraft - its great for all of us newbies and I have lots to do to catch up.
I hear rumors from Christine that set up the bootcamp that there may be an advanced bootcamp - I think it will kill me but I'm up for the challenge and you should check it out too.
Like I promised, there is my first freebie and it's a really cute paper lantern. Check it out.
The first person to send me a story about their group of girlfriends just like my "Peeps in the Hood" (more about them later)!! will win the paper lantern. What is the last thing you did with your group of girlfriends??
Here is a pic of the lantern.
