Busy. Busy, Busy

Okay, so as you can see I've been busy creating.
And why is that?... Because I have decided to open an Etsy Shop.
After repeated convincing from family and friends to sell my handmade mini books and things, I decided to give it a try.

For those who have never heard of Etsy it’s an on-line store similar to Ebay but all items are handmade or vintage. It is not an auction like ebay and no waiting for bidding to end.

I have been busy making things to stock my shop – I only had 12 items made when - cha-ching - I made my first sale!

I originally named the shop Blue Apple Noteables but was advised (by the instructor of an Etsy course I am taking) to change the name as there were two other Blue Apple variations on Etsy. So after wracking my brain all week and input from others my name has officially been changed to ‘Sapphire Noteables’.

Sapphires are considered  precious  – as are the photos kept in scrapbooks. Also it is my birthstone AND my daughter and I BOTH had sapphires and diamonds in our wedding rings – so Sapphire has special meaning to me

The Noteables is self explanatory as I sell note books and note cards. Yeah I know because of that I spelled it with an 'e' which I was advised against (by the course instructor). Maybe it'll bite me down the road but that's a chance I'm willing to take. I like it as is and if I become rich and famous (wishful thinking) from it then that's great but if not then my life is already rich as is. 
Famous? - nah - not for me!

So pour yourself a cup of tea or glass of wine and have a peek into my Etsy life.
