Have you all seen www.postsecret.com?

I have, and I enjoy it immensly. That's why I think we should have an EtsySecret.

Here's how it works. On Tuesday, June 9th at 12 noon, I will create a submissions post on my blog (lessthanthreedesigns.blogspot.com). What you need to do is to create a picture secret. It must be 800 pixels wide by 600 pixels high (or less). Then, you must upload it to a website that will give you a direct URL to the picture (as in, Photobucket or something like that). I would suggest using one that is different than the one you usually use. I don't want to know who made each secret! During the submissions post, I will accept the first 100 secrets that come in (don't worry--comments will be moderated, and nobody will see them but me). 50 of them will be posted on Saturday, June 23rd, and the other 50 will be posted on Saturday, June 30th.

If this does really well, I will probably create a blog just for this, but until then, I will be using my blog, again which is lessthanthreedesigns.blogspot.com.

I hope you guys enjoy the idea and want to participate. Personally, I am VERY excited! :)

I hope you guys participate, then! Postsecret is so much fun, and I think it'd be even greater with the Etsy folks, because they could be Etsy-related secrets! :)

I think we should be restricted to ATC's, after all postsecret is really about the postcards, and we're all about the art.

But you might need to get a P.O. box - it's usually too easy to tell who owns the uploaded image...
