Well, I don’t really have any since I am new, other than making sure you do your best to make each product the quality it deserves.

-What do you do to promote your shop? Do you blog? Twitter? Facebook? Myspace?

Right now, we post papers on bulletin boards in stores with business cards. We also blog (http://creativecrafts2009.blogspot.com/ ) and Twitter (http://twitter.com/creative_crafts )

There were no teams for young Etsians! I feel like we need to show people that we can do just as well as adults as Entrepreneurs, and still make quality handmade.
