Step Out: Walk to fight Diabetes

Hello everyone in craft land! Well my first show of the fall season is fast approaching! And the day after is the diabetes walk at the Pittsburgh zoo. It should be fun! So I have decided to run a little contest and offer a coupon special for my Etsy store. Anyone who donates online to help support diabetes research on my walk page will be entered for a change to win a patriotic chef hat or a set of 4 seasonal puppy scarves your choice of sizes and holidays. In addition to that I will also give Everyone who donates a $1 off ANY purchase from my Etsy store through the end of November! So you can make a donation, win a prize and save a little on Christmas gifts as well!

Guess what I have been up to

Well I finally took everyone's advice and started and Etsy store. What is Etsy you ask? Well it is a wonderful fantasy land of nothing but crafts (and some craft supplies). You can sign up for your own store through them and sell your goods. Well I finally started one. It can be found here http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6799069 my shops name is Hollyscraftsandcandy! I have even sold my first 2 items! I am sooooo excited.

On top of this I have some orders (which is always a good thing) and have had one craft show so far for 2009 and have a couple more before the end of Marhc. It is also Easter Candy Season so get your orders in for delivery by Easter! Never fear there is still time!

My firend Robin has an awesome blog and is running a monthly contest every month. I am sponsering the contest this month and we have a great prize for the winner. SO head on over to
