Day one...woo hoo

A year later and I have now added a blog.  I am terrified of writing online or writing anywhere people are able to read it.  That is why I am doing this.  I conquered my fear of calling myself an artist I am now conquering my fear of writing in a public forum.
A year ago I opened a shop on ETSY, http://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/HERTrinkets?ref=si_shop and then I jus opened 2 on TheCraftStar https://www.thecraftstar.com/shopDetails/2469/h-e-r-trinkets/ and https://www.thecraftstar.com/shopDetails/2467/h-e-r-decor/.  I never thought I would do such a thing but I have.  It was due to one very encouraging and dear friend, Cylene; find her amazing items here: http://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/TheLovelySmith/about?ref=l2-more-about.
I made my first Poppy Felt Brooch and wore it to work, I was very nervous and full of excitement.  She immediately commented on it and told me she loved it.  I continued to make more and she said open a shop on ETSY already...I thought about it but never thought of myself as an artist.  I told myself okay I will look into this ETSY thing, I joined and became an awesome consumer first then thought "why not, what do I have to lose." 
I opened H.E.R.Trinkets on September 3rd 2012 and have not looked back.  I mainly get sales through BNR's and have several repeat buyers.  This has solidified my items are well made and people are coming back for more....who knew??  
I will try to blog as often as I can and will be amazed if anyone reads this but hey I will try anything once or twice  lol
Thanks for stopping by  Stephanie
