For many years, Oh let's see, April 25, 2009 to be exact, I have been selling on Bonanza. My items have been virtually sitting there collecting particles of dust, waiting to be sold or waiting for me to pack them up and haul them away to a show to hopefully be sold to someone who will enjoy them just as much as I did when creating them.
Which brings me to my big announcement. And of course I've already made this announcement to my fans on Facebook.
Sometime in the next couple of months, but before the new year, I will be closing the Bonanza store and picking and choosing what items will go into the Etsy shop. It's a little overwhelming as over the years I have met a lot of nice people through Bonanza. I have learned all their buttons as well. And I have over 450 items listed in the shop. I am now down to 350 and I hope to have it all completed by the new year. But, taking all that into consideration, it's with a happy heart that I say I must go where the Sales and revenue are being earned.
I am trying my hardest to get the items over to Etsy to be listed before Christmas, ordering all new promotional items, booking shows, Shipping orders, Getting ready for the shows, taking care of the kiddo's, cleaning, laundry, and all the other things that get pushed aside. So, Yes, I am looking forward to having just one store to maintain.
My hubby and I made this decision because frankly I'm tired of sitting in a store that does nothing versus moving everything to a store that is at least earning some revenue every month. So, I can only hope that like my hubby everyone will support me in this decision as well.
I am looking forward to having more time to blog, network, create, time with my family, and all the behind the scenes things I do.
And I've added in this years Christmas video as well.
