My Fourth Week As A Lifestyle Blogger - The Etsy Week

This week as Lifestyle Blogger was a HUGE one! I was searching for affiliate products to post and making forms for myself on how to do things when I realized something. The forms that I make were “my thing”. I have forms for daily goals and tasks, forms for accomplishing various tasks, and even forms for this blog that I fill out daily and record my counts on.

Sometimes I feel like having forms is the very best way to keep a creative type like myself from just flying around doing bits and pieces of things here and there and making a go of anything.

So drumroll please….I started an Etsy store and uploaded a couple of forms this week! Whoo whoo

I will be blogging more about why an Etsy store instead of selling on my own website and of course Etsy marketing info, but for this week, just YAY!
