Etsy, here I come!

Alright. There's nothing better than hearing that other art teacher's have "discovered" ETSY and are selling their own artwork on the site before me. Man, if that didn't light a fire under my butt, I don't know what did. Not only did I learn that other art teachers have their own stores, I learned that I DO NOT need 15 pieces just to have my own. I learned that the 15 pieces are only needed if I want to be a part of the EtsyMetal TEAM. What that means, I'm not sure yet. As with all other internet sites the information is overwhelming. I have to take it in small dosis. So, after finishing week one of my 5K training, an accomplishment in itself, I came home, got on the Etsy site and signed up. I now have a store on Etsy. It's called Lola Riera, after my grandmother. BUT - before you go off trying to find Lola Riera on Etsy, let me tell you there are no items up yet. However, the simple fact that I have a store, that I'm even registered at all is pretty big for me. But it gets even better....

After setting up my store, I proceeded to add graphics and start making it look all pretty, of course. (I should be in web page design...). I caught myself wasting time so I headed out to the studio to work on a piece and completed my two hour commitment yet again this week. I'm almost finished with my 7th piece and I do believe I have enough pieces to put in my little Etsy shop. I must say I'm pretty proud of myself. 

To be continued...
