Link Love ROCKS!

Thanks to Zur Designs for the idea and Runway Crochet for being our Engineer of the Link Love movement! When I hopped on board the Link Love Train, I had 102 fans on my facebook fan page AND WOWZER! I'm just 22 short of 1,000 fans as of this posting! AND most are creative minded shop owners like myself! We all need to think about buying Handmade when making a purchase and now, with Link Love I have a whole list of wonderful shops to visit! My new motto is, "Bye, bye big box"!

New Look!!!

How do you like my new look? A designer sure helps!!! If you would like her name, leave a comment and I'll get you connected to her. She is working on getting all my sites tied together:) Wheeee!!!

I've been working on my fan page and my online shops. Adding new scrapbooking items has been fun but time consuming. My new shop on zibbet is so user friendly, which is good for me:) I'm hopeful for increased sales in both shops, etsy and zibbet.
If you have a minute, take a peek at zibbet...

Here is the link for her giveaway!

Look at this awesome giveaway!!!

Word Up Wall Art is having a GREAT giveaway!
Here is her post....take a peek... You'll be glad you did!

Artfire, a handmade marketplace, has a program call Free Ride For Life. Which means, that if I can get 12 people to sign up to Artfire for a measly $12.00/month, much less than most people pay in Etsy fees a month, I will never have to pay another monthly fee again.

Oh, that’s great for you, you say? How does this work for me? Read on my friend, there are benefits for you too:)

So, here is how it’s going to work.

1. Head on over to ArtFire and sign up as a Verified Member at $12.00/month for life.

2. When you do, and you sign up using this link, you’ll be entered for a chance to win a $50 giftcard to Word Up Wall Art.

3. Once I have 12 people signed up and I have my Free Ride For Life status, I’m going to choose one of you to receive $50 in Word Up Wall Art product of YOUR CHOICE! BUT WAIT…

Even if you aren’t the big winner, every one of the first twelve referrals will receive a $10 giftcard to Word Up Wall Art!!

It’s as easy as that! You get a FABULOUS new venue to sell your goods on, $10 in FREE vinyl wall art, and your opportunity to get a FREE RIDE of your own with 12 referrals and ONE lucky winner will get a $50 giftcard!

Need some convincing, not sure what you need Artfire for if you have Etsy…pop in and take a look, you won’t be sorry! There are sooo many things you can do in your new Fusion Studio, including linking to your Etsy store or posting a mini Etsy, and they’re all included with your monthly subscription!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask Word Up Wall Art!

Link Love!

A couple of wonderful shops have invented a "fan"tastic networking method! ZurDesigns and Runway Crochet have been encouraging people to add their site links to the Discussions tab on fan pages! When you do, fan others back and add the same process to your fan page by adding the "Link Love" topics to your Discussions tab....your fan base will skyrocket! It takes a little time to fan those listed but WOW...do you ever meet some awesome crafters and see wonderful products!
Please look at the Discussions tab on my fan page and add your site links, so others can see you too! Then fan/follow those listed! You'll have a "quick click" to many wonderful shops, blogs and fan pages PLUS tweets!
Many thanks to Zur and Runway for all the hard work and diligence in making this such a sweet success!
