It’s that time of year when self-reflection and New Year’s resolutions can lead us all to a deeper understanding of ourselves, the Etsy addicted. I’ve been known to fall asleep with my laptop in bed, but now I know I’m not alone. I think we can can all get a big laugh from buttonhead‘s funny video, and then take a deep breath and step away from the computer.
Do you sign in to Etsy first thing in the morning?
Do you experience Etsy withdrawl when you’re not online?
Did you tell Santa to skip the candy cane and go directly to your Etsy favorites list?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions,
You might be an Etsy Addict.
Take two aspirin and check out this hilarious video from buttonhead.
You can also see brand new videos 5 days/week on the Indie 5 Youtube Channel.
Happy Holidays!

Addict? What is an addict? Who me? Nooooo. :( Does it mean I am an addict if I look through the many many shops to see what beauties await me and want to add every single item and shop to my favorites? ** (Hey, I am new and doing a pretty good job of that if I do say so myself. lol)** Ok, so here I go through the halls of Etsy looking for the Etsy addicts 10 step recovery program. (You know, the one that helps me learn how to sell more and have a gorgeous dazzling shop!) lol :) hehe

I confess, I'm an Etsy addict. I visit daily. I should get on with my sewing so that I will have product when I open my Etsy shop in spring 2009. It's just to much fun to look at all of the creative and beautiful items that others have listed for sale. Attention everyone: keep up the great work. Love, Amy

Guess where I just watched this video? At work! I do log into ETSY first thing AM. My husband was looking askance, and I said, "Hey, this is my store. Of course I need to keep an eye on the store." Once I sold a few things, it started making more sense to him.
