done many things lately. I know, I'm a
procrastinator - a BIG one! I have to make
new things for my shop, but something is
preventing me from doing so. I have a long
queue of mails, which need to be replied, but
I'm simply not able to do it at the moment
because of the knots in my head. And my blog..
I have also neglected it - arghh..!! Instead
I've done things, that was not first priority
(or maybe they were?? I don't understand
the psychology of mind anyway..).
I've always enjoyed curating treasuries.
Not enough, that I can make two (the real one
and on the test Treasury West), I thought,
I'll make one to promote the European Street
Team. Glad, that QueenBLingerie let me
use the favorite list of EST-shop to prepare
the treasuries. I've started "Shopping Trip in
Europe" as theme to be able to present each
member. First I've made a map of EST on
GoogleMap, since I'm bad in geography. That
way, I have an overview of the countries.
I was happy, Ixela was agree to help me with
the map.
That was still not enough though. I thought,
it would be nice to have a tool to be able
to browse EST sellers by category e.g., since
I try to mix the items in my treasuries lately
(so it might be a help for the next themes or
if we promote our team somewhere else).
So, I've started another project: shop catalog
(still under heavy construction).
I like the idea of the EtsyMiniBlog, which is
administrated by dottyral, littleputbooks,
liskidder and schOOLOcker. So, I have asked
for littleput's permission to use their idea of
using the comment area as kind of a request
form and the idea of using the EtsyMinis
for the catalog - not to feel guilty using them :)
I've also asked an Etsy admin, if I can modify
the look of the EtsyMini, since it needs a lot of
space otherwise. Finally I've asked Kreativling
if I could modify the EST banner. Now, having
all the permissions and positive feedbacks from
EST members, I can go on. In March I'll start
turning the criterias into pages. Once the frame
is finish, it's ready to accept requests to fill
the pages.
Doing all that (regardless of 1st priority or not)
has helped to loose some knots in my head.
I've started to make some collage ACEOs on a
pizza board two days ago. Yes! A pizza board!!
It's adhesive and clean, that's why I thought
I have to use it instead of throwing it into
the recycle bin :D I've used some papers
I've got few weeks ago to decorate it.
Although I didn't have special intends while
making them, I think, they reflect my mood
on the past days :)
And my fish.. I've sent him a few days
later than planned to Etsy, but I hope he has
swum across the ocean safely and is now
happy among his friends. This is his back.
