Fort Worth Mini Team Holiday Meet & Greet

On Tuesday Dec. 6th the Fort Worth Mini Team met for our very first Meet and Greet. The cozy ambiance of La Madeleine helped to create a warm and inviting setting for our holiday themed gathering. The purpose of this gathering was to FINALLY meet some of our fellow Etsyians but to also discuss ways that we can participate in EtsyTexasCrafters.




Jay of jneale3 and 2112TieDyes with Connie of HossLass



We spent the first half hour engaging in small talk and getting to know one another as members trickled in. Attendees consisted of team members as well as a few folks interested in ETC and what we're about. The group also indulged in some tasty treats procured from the La Madeleine kitchen. The smell of delicious French onion soup and piping hot French roast filled the room.



Angela of flutterbuggcreations shared about continuing a family tradition of crocheted baby blankets



After some lively conversation we settled in to discuss our participation options. ETC as a team provides a myriad of choices for those who want to participate a little to those who wish to participate a lot. First on the agenda was the teams new Ning site were members can find scads of information on team events, members, as well as sign-ups and basic info on the teams various opportunities. Spend Your Mondays with ETC was up next with brief explanations on each Monday's theme. Members who had participated in these events shared their experiences and encouraged others to check them out.



Connie shared a table with potential ETC newbies, husband and wife, Samantha (oldbutnew) and Robert (draknordesigns)



Next I explained team promo swaps and showed some examples of items that can be contributed to the swap and the details of how it works. We then talked about the Gift swaps and I proudly showed off a bag that I'd recently been gifted in one of these swaps. Both of these swaps are great ways to get your name and products in the hands of potential customers. Plus, they're just ALOT of fun :)
Concluding this time was a plug for the team shop, its purpose, and how you can find fabulous promo items there at a great value. We closed with team volunteer job opportunities and how the team benefits everyone best when "You give some to get some".




The Stash table. Gifts for the exchange were placed in the back while promos and business cards to share were in the front



My favorite part of the meeting came next when we went around and everyone introduced themselves. They shared their name, shop name, how long they'd been on Etsy, and if they brought samples of their work they displayed them as well. I love that now I have faces and names to put with some of the shops that I love. We ended the evening with a jolly gift exchange.



Jay shows the group how his wine rest works, while Rachel of tilesmile looks on. Rachel chose the wine rest as her gift from the exchange



Over all I thought it went great. I left with lots of things to think about and was very encouraged by the group of folks I'd met that were just as eager to move forward as I am. We would like to try and meet once a month. Some topics we'd like to discuss in the future include local craft fairs and selling opportunities and Photography 101 - how to take better photos to improve your sales. I can't wait for our January meeting (details to come) and would love to see some new faces there!



My gift from the gift exchange: these awesome tiles from TileSmile

Design Challenge - Absurdity Day!

Things not making sense today?? Feeling Odd and Unusual?? Then You're Celebrating Absurdity Day!!

Crazy or not, Absurdity Day is staring you right in the face. Some days are truly illogical and senseless, exactly the definition of Absurdity Day. Celebrate this day in an absurd manner. Don't sit back waiting for something absurd to happen. Rather, seek out things to do that are somewhat, if not wholly, illogical. Have fun with it. But, whatever you do, don't try to make sense of it.

Have a wonderful, mind boggling and absurd Absurdity Day!!

This day is the inspiration behind our November Design Challenge, and the entries for this month's Absurdity Design Challenge are:

























Please join us in the Etsy Forums and help us celebrate this most absurd day!

October Design Challenge - The War of the Worlds!

What would you do if you scored an awesome vintage record of the story of The War of the Worlds -- one that comes with a book/magazine with lots of incredible images, as well as a pretty amazing album cover? Frame it? Sell it on eBay? Put it on a shelf with your other vintage treasures?

Not if you are Christine of PinupPixie! What did she decide to do with this awesome find? Offer it up to the ETC team for our October Design Challenge!!!

Christine scanned the pages of the book/magazine and posted them to one of our team sites, and members were challenged to create something using these images or their own interpretation of The War of the Worlds.

In Christine's generosity, she also made the record and album cover available to ETC members to create the prizes for this Challenge. Beth of ByBethStudio, Cindylee of FattyCornersQuilts, and Cathie of SweetWolf were the first three to correctly respond with the original radio air date of The War of the Worlds (Oct 30, 1938) and were thus selected to create the prizes for this Challenge.


Entries for The War of the Worlds Design Challenge include:









War of the Worlds Mixed Media Canvas Book
Created by ByBethStudio
NOTE: This item is available as one of the prizes for this Challenge!









War of the Worlds Mixed Media Quilt
Created by FattyCornersQuilts
NOTE: This item is available as one of the prizes for this Challenge!

















War of the Worlds Record Bowl
Created by SweetWolf
NOTE: This item is available as one of the prizes for this Challenge!





For more information on each of the above items, as well as more pictures, be sure to click on the title of each entry to transfer to its Etsy or Flickr listing.


Two addtional prizes (for the 4th and 5th place finishers) have been provided by Christine of PinupPixie -- she was unable to get them ready by the deadline to be included in the Challenge poll, as she was "caring for two cootiefied kids" this past weekend. Here are Christine's prize offerings:






Thanks, again, to everyone who has participated, and special Thanks to all our voters!


NOTE: Due to technical difficulties, the voting deadline has been extended through midnight, Thursday, Oct 30th.

Welcome & Thanks Bunches!!!

Welcome to our new blog, and thanks so much for your patience as we transferred information from our old blog to this one. There are likely a few more "tweaks" that need to be made, but this is now our "official" blog!!!

This has been a busy time for ETC!

We have a new team site, which includes:
1. A list of our team members - this list currently includes names, locations, shop descriptions, and Etsy minis and will eventually include information about other locations (both on the web and in the real world) where members can be found
2. A calendar of team events
3. Our membership map
4. A resources section with links to several guides & articles, as well as downloadable items for our team
5. Groups for each of our mini teams, providing them with their own announcement page, comments wall, and forums!
6. And of course, there is a forum and chat room feature, as well as a link to this blog!

I have heard from many of our members that this new site is much easier to navigate, and they love the fact that it links all of our other sites together.

Stay tuned for more updates on what all we've been up to these past few months!
