Diving In (featured on Heartsy!)

You know that feeling you have right before you jump off the diving board? How it’s way scarier if you stand on the edge and look down, so it’s best to just dive right in and get wet. That’s how I’m feeling right now. Deciding to finally take the leap and open an Etsy store was completely terrifying to me, but once I made the commitment, I just dove in. It’s only been two months, and I’m not really sure what the future holds, but I do have the hope this little shop will continue to grow and become substantial enough that I can help support my family, continue to chunk away at our debt, and be able to do so while staying home with my babies.

I would like to believe that when our intentions are good, good things happen, and so I’m super excited to be a featured seller on Heartsy this week. If you aren’t familiar with Heartsy, it’s a fabulous “deal” site that features independent artists (usually Etsy shops), and offers vouchers at a discounted price. It’s a win-win deal for everyone because the artist (me!) gets more exposure, and the customer (you!) gets a fantastic price on unique, handmade gifts. Having the opportunity to be featured at this time of year is especially exciting as we are coming upon the holiday season and it’s time to be thinking about Christmas presents. So here’s the deal Heartsy is offering on my shop this week: Buy a $10 voucher, and get a $21 credit to my shop!! That’s over 50% off (and believe me, it’s the cheapest discount there will ever be!)!! The $21 credit expires in one month, and CAN be applied toward shipping. So it’s a pretty great deal all around. In case you need a little more convincing , here are just a few handmade products you can purchase with your $21 credit: For teachers, daycare providers, children’s librarians, or YOUR kids:

{The Very Hungry Caterpillar felt story set}

{Printed Bookplates}

 {I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly felt story set}

For Newlyweds, College Students, or ANYONE who eats:

{Baking-Themed Recipe Cards}

{Recipe Binder Cover and Categories}

{Printable Meal Planner}

For Grandma, Best Friend, Neighbor, or YOU:

{Just a Note notecards}

{Thinking of You notecards}

Once you browse the shop, if there is something you don’t see that you would like, feel free to send me a convo and we can chat about a custom order.

Happy Heartsy shopping, and THANKS in advance for supporting handmade.
