St Patricks Day Treasure Hunt Update

Hi Everyone

I (Sarah) have taken over the St. Patricks Day treasure hunt. But I am tweaking it slightly.

We have 17 Etsy shops now committed to giving prizes and make it worth the hunter's while, I am going to create 4 prize packs.

So can I ask all the shops to post me their prize and I will put together 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th prize packs and post photos of them so everyone can see! You can convo me through my Etsy Shop Sarah Mai Designs or on Facebook.

Can everyone plug, push and promote this on your blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and any other teams you are a member of.

The questions will be posted here on the Team Ireland Blog, on the Etsy Ireland page on Facebook and on the Team Forum on Etsy on St Patricks Day. The treasure hunt will involve finding out something from each participating shop e.g. How many sections does 'X' have?

Any questions or queries please get in touch with my via my shop Sarah Mai Designs.

Keep an eye on the blog, Facebook and the Team Forum on Etsy for further updates

Thanks

Happy New Year

Its been a while since I have tapped out a post on my laptop for the Etsy Ireland Blog.  Well, its a New Year and the time has come to say hello again......   So, Hello Again.......

I am not one to make New Year Resolutions, I used to be but I gave that up a long time ago.  So many good intentions never fulfilled...... So, what to do instead!!!!  

I have come across 2 positive alternatives while catching up on my reading over the last week which I have embraced for 2012. 

Firstly, before saying goodbye to 2011 I sat yesterday and wrote down all of the things I achieved during the year and I must say I was surprised at how long the list was.  It included all of my Etsy events, people I met, places I went to, new skills (I tried a bit of weaving for the first time), as well lessons learned from mistakes I made, etc. etc. etc.

Secondly, going forward into the new year I listed a number of new things I would like to try, places to go to, etc a type of bucket list.  I came up with 52, one for each week of the year.  Now I will look forward to planning them but wont be too discouraged if I dont get all of them ticked off the list before the bells ring out for 2013 as they can be added to the following year.

So, why dont you try to do the same - list what you have achieved and gather together what you would like 2012 to bring you. 

I wish you all the best of New Years.  May the Crafting Fairies visit you often and bring you creativity and sales to make this a positive year to remember.

Cheers
