Checkbook Cover

I just got an order for a checkbook cover in my Etsy shop, but before I mailed it off I wanted to take a quick picture. I think I want one for myself now. I don't use a checkbook, but perhaps I'll turn it into a purse calendar. I love these happy colors!

Happy Birthday Card

I finally started loading cards on my Etsy site that I created FOREVER ago. It looks like my shop has been open forever, but I haven't sold a thing! Eeek! I really don't know much about Etsy, so if you have any tips or suggestions I'm certainly open to advice!
