It feels so good to be crafting agaiin!!!! My work will be going back to 5 day work weeks (from 6!) next week, so I am looking forward to having a whole day each week to scrap and make paper piecings. It's been so long! I know it willl be a long time for me to work up my reputation on ebay again, but I'm going for it. Years ago my pieces were selling for $60 PLUS! I know I have to start small again, but oh well - it just feels good to be doing it again.

Who else is selling on ebay these days?
I checked out Etsy - are a lot of you on that now?

Love it! I do etsy mostly.

Love your tear bear, very cute!!!

that is soooo cute! Love the face!!!!!

Thanks! What do you like about Etsy??? So curious - maybe I should switch to selling in that instead of ebay?

I don't shop Etsy, and very rarely shop eBay anymore (it gets addicting and I was spending way too much lol), but welcome back to scrapping! Good luck with your venture no matter where it takes you.

That is so cute!

He's just too cute!!!!

Oh my gosh...just checked out your bear! It's so detailed...gorgeous!

Thank you so much! I have to tell you, I think I am going to be WAY into these bears!!! I bought some extra thick mulberry paper on ebay from a lady who makes it, and it's so thick and awesome for the bears. I am at work but can not WAIT to get back home and make some more. And I just love adding the little crystals for eyes - I think it adds a little glam, so now I am all about finding more of those crystals. I looked on here for some mulberry papers in browns, but didn't have much luck! Anyone know where to find some?

nice to see your adorable bears again katina! Good Luck with selling

Etsy has cheaper fees and I like how the stores are in etsy. I shop etsy often, love buying from different crafters on there.

I notice you are from Torrington, Ct. Do you ever teach at any CT scrapbook stores? I know a few ladies at New England Scrapbook Company that live in Torrington. I live in MA and go to a few stores in CT and MA.

Yes, I used to teach classes at a place in Winsted, but they closed years ago - I also taught online with a webcam. Hoping to do that again soon!!! I love New England, but I haven't gotten over that way in a while. Wiggles & Giggles is nice, and Scrap Nest is adorable!!! Mostly I shop online these days - I work six days a week at Stew Leonard's so it's hard to find time to shop! Maybe I will see you at a crop!!!
