the etsy debate

IMG_6658_bookmarks.jpg

so i'm debating whether or not i should reopen the tinkerwiththis etsy store. if i do reopen it, i will start shipping to everywhere {including you crazy canucks!}, so weekly trips to the post office would be a must, and around here, they're not always the easiest. like waiting for 40 minutes to pick up my new zealand christmas present before they mailed it back to the person who no longer lives there because they wouldn't just leave it on the porch! brilliant.

anyway, you all know i'm stressed for free time, so do i spend it photographing and listing products, or spend it making more cute and fun things {like bookmarks, makeup pouches, thumbtacks, barrettes, earrings, you get the point} and sell them online through this blog or host parties throughout the year?

hmm. it's a stellar conundrum indeed...

also if you wouldn't mind leaving me some input on your favorite items or something you'd like to see me tackle? there might be something free {and adorable} in it for you.

i really like the bookmarks. those would make great stocking stuffers (now that christmas is over, right?).

as far as something new to tackle - i'd say something baby related, since i'm into babies right now. like a new kind of diaper pouch or something like that.

that's funny because the middle one is my favorite too. so much so that i made myself one of these as a sort of template. which is a good thing because the first attempt came out all wonky and then i revised to prevent general wonkiness...i was happy with the results.

Darn you Carrie, taking the middle one, that was my favorite and I was going to snatch it. LOL!

Did you think about trying the recycled target bag thing? I'm going to tackle that soon. I'll let you know how it works out.

How about some cute flower pins? I love a cute pin on a plain handbag or a cardigan or my coat.1

I like your key fobs and those bookmarks are fab. For something new you could make pillowcase dresses. For my cutie pie baby girl. =)

I LOVE the first makeup bag-the brown and pink. I love looking at all your crafty stuff. Wish I had more time to be crafty. My craftiness consists of washable markers, elmer's glue, construction paper, safety scissors, and anything else kid related. LOL
