sarawearsskirts: my neighbor felt the need to be *really* loud when walking outside at like 5am to go to work and discovering the snow.
SnappyBibs: Sara, I would not do well in your area. A fun and sun kind of girl here.

sarawearsskirts: we have a philly etsy team meeting tonight!
TheTwistedPurl: She is selling them in sets with your shop name on them
MsKittyFantastico: Wow that must be a crazy commute!

MsKittyFantastico: My team keeps discussing wanting to go on a field trip to see the labs in person.
sarawearsskirts: aplanetnamedjanet, how are you!
aplanetnamedjanet: cold :-)
sarawearsskirts: mskitty, the philly team also talks about that
sarawearsskirts: right now isn't really a good time to go to the labs
sarawearsskirts: we're in the process of rearranging it / expanding it
TheTwistedPurl: that would be a long field trip for us but FUN!
fairytalefibers joined the room
sarawearsskirts: so there's not much public to see right now
sarawearsskirts: shall we begin?
aplanetnamedjanet: would the philly team arrange a bus and open for all?
MsKittyFantastico: Good to know! That's pretty cool. We'll have to check it out once it's all swank!
SnappyBibs: yes sara
MsKittyFantastico: yeah!
esdesigns joined the room
sarawearsskirts: aplanetnamedjanet, probably not a bus, but we could arrange for taking trains and things together
sarawearsskirts: or carpooling
aplanetnamedjanet: I have never been to NY
sarawearsskirts: don't you live in or near philly?
aplanetnamedjanet: Would want to go with someone first

aplanetnamedjanet: sounds good
2 yay, TheTwistedPurl: Where is the team tip listed?

TheTwistedPurl: that must be it LOL
OhSewHannah joined the room
2 yay, sarawearsskirts: well, by clicking on the author "etsy teams" in the left hand column of the storque, you can find all the articles pertaining to etsy teams: http://www.etsy.com/storque/author/EtsyTeams/
OhSewHannah left the room
sarawearsskirts: so, at this moment the team tip happens to be the top article (most recent)
sarawearsskirts: but you can always find it there pretty easily
TheTwistedPurl: great thanks!
sarawearsskirts: or you can find it under the guides page here: http://team.etsy.com/guides.html
sarawearsskirts: where i keep an archive of them all
MsKittyFantastico: I'm reading now, seems rad
aplanetnamedjanet: I know where to find some info on teams, but didnt know there was a weekly tip
sarawearsskirts: http://team.etsy.com/teamtips.html
sarawearsskirts: yep! for this year, i'm writing a team tip each week - something you can team up with a couple other people on your team and do to help build you team
sarawearsskirts: or promote
TheTwistedPurl: is there a certain day every week it comes out?
sarawearsskirts: so. this week's is a shop swap, which is my cutesy little term for a critique
aplanetnamedjanet: So it can be found under the Team icon after you go to the community page?
emmylouhelmuth left the room
sarawearsskirts: i shoot for mondays before noon
sarawearsskirts: so by monday afternoon, it is up
aplanetnamedjanet: I like the new critique section in the forums
TheTwistedPurl: ok thanks
sarawearsskirts: (sometimes i publish it on sundays so it's there first thing monday morning)
sarawearsskirts: me, too!
MsKittyFantastico: very cool!
sarawearsskirts: the critique section of the forums is going to be a great tool, i think
sarawearsskirts: but i thought a shop swap with another team member might also be useful
sarawearsskirts: a little more personal
aplanetnamedjanet: yes
sarawearsskirts: does anyone have any questions in general, regarding teams that i can answer this afternoon?
SnappyBibs: twisted, I think we have been working on our shops for months...lol
TheTwistedPurl: so true
MsKittyFantastico: i get a lot of nebies joining and i think this would be very beneficial, the shop sawp!
MsKittyFantastico: oops newbies
sarawearsskirts: mskittyfantastico - since it'll be a bit of time before we get the mentor program officially running again
TheTwistedPurl: yes we could do it weekly through our blog even!
sarawearsskirts: i think teams are a great place for newbies to seek advice
sarawearsskirts: and even for not so newbies to get ideas on keeping their shops fresh
MsKittyFantastico: totally! oooh, I had no idea about a mentor program, that is also very cool!
sarawearsskirts: ooh!
sarawearsskirts: yes, this is something we hope to bring back in fulll force this year
MsKittyFantastico: lol, that sounds so handy!
