It's almost time for the next Sneak Attack!
What is a Sneak Attack?
Twice a week, an Etsy shop(s) with few or no sales is chosen as a "victim,” and at a given time multiple buyers all visit the site and buy one or more items each, resulting in a whole slew of surprise business in a very short time. It’s a great way to give a big boost to a new Etsy shop!
Go to www.handmademovement.com at or after 7:00pm today and you'll see the chosen shops' names. Then go to the shop(s) and purchase an item (or more), making sure to include the words "Sneak Attack" in your Message To Seller during checkout. The shop owners will be informed of what is happening just as the attack begins, so they'll know what is going on.
Don’t worry about being too late for the attack! If the shop names are still up on the Handmade Movement site, you can still go and make a purchase! They are usually still up into the next day.
Even if you can't make a purchase you can still help by giving this thread an occasional bump and spreading the word.
Today I'm co-hosting with one of my favorite artists: PaintedMemoriesByRos.etsy.com.
We will try to give out a few clues in this thread as the time gets closer...
Come join in; we are a fun group to be around!

I threw shotput and discus in high school. And ran the mile.

Did you run well in your track meet, Eng?

I was timing, not running! But it was a gorgeous day, and it's really fun to see all the kids out there working hard.
Steve coaches the high school distance runners (I am NOT a runner) and ever since our oldest was in high school, I have helped time at the meets. It's much more interesting than sitting in the stands watching.

My next guess was discus, and then javelin.

Har!! I'd impale someone for sure.

Ugh. They tried to make me do discus and shotput, cause of my sturdy-and-tall look, but they soon found out how miserably unathletic I am.

When we started up the track team at my high school in Japan, the coach only knew how to coach running events, not field events. My sister had taught me to throw shot and discus when I was 12 or 13, so I was responsible for my own training for those events. Discus always came naturally to me, shotput not so much, although I at least knew how to do it correctly. And I ran the mile just because. When we moved back to Maryland, practices were a little more structured. I couldn't combine the running and throwing anymore, so I dropped the mile.
