  1. Nancy, thank you. I got a repeat customer order today responding to my sale and she bought 4 items on my website. Hooray!

    1. Thank you.

      I got reinspired and changed my Hanukkah jewelry to Passover. Been promoting a sale and only have the 1 order. My biz FB page is nonexistent and not many people are opening my emails.

      So, I think I'm logging off the computer for tonight. Sorry about the rant. It's like throwing a party and only 1 person shows up. LOL

    2. Linda, one reason might be because your own site does not have secure checkout. I would NEVER order from a site without secure checkout. Does your hosting platform offer the ability for secure checkout? Surely they do.

  3. Forgot to post this yesterday. Here is week 1 of the Mother's Day Countdown. Not sure where else to post this

  4. Anyone having trouble sharing on Facebook today? I'm getting a pop up notice that thee is a problem. Will share items later when they get it fixed. No problem posting on my regular page, just The Singing Beader page.

    1. Yes, same here. There's a lot about it on Twitter. It's 6:10 my time and still can't get into my biz page. Haven't tried posting anything on my personal page since earlier this morning so am not sure if it is working or not.

    2. It's also Instagram (which FB owns) and other FB apps.

  5. Most of you may have already figured out why I have been missing in action for such a long time. I have been working on my new Covergirlbeads store.

    Here is the link if you are interested in seeing it. https://covergirlbeads

    If you participated in Julie's Countdown to Mother's Day, then you have already visited my new store last weekend. I am caught up editing and making changes to what I have listed but still so much more to do. One day, I will catch up with this wonderful group. So far, I am up to the beginning of March.

  6. Charlotte, I did peek at your site and it looks great. But, today it is not letting me go there.

    1. Thanks for taking a peek! I wonder what is up with not letting you go there today? I'll have to see what that's all about. Thanks for letting me know.

  7. For all on Etsy, the loss of the share buttons for social media is apparently permanent

      Hi there,

      Please note that this is no longer an experiment, we have removed the Social Media links from the public listing page. You're still welcome to share listings via copying and pasting into whichever platform you're sharing to, or using extentions like the Pinterest Pin It button.

      Since this is not a bug, I'll be closing this thread and sharing the feedback from it with the team.

      Thanks!

    2. Weird, I still see them on my PC but they have been gone for a while on my iPad. Will use them on my PC as long as I can . . . Such a STUPID move on Etsy's part.

    3. Yes, it is very stupid. I have opened facebook and twitter and have been copy and pasting the links and titles. I didn't think about doing that on Week 1 of the countdown so I was sharing thing through pinterest.

  8. I am taking a short break as I still have so much to do getting more items listed on my website. I shouldn't be gone too long.

    1. Good luck, and I hope you get the listing done quickly. Listings are one of my least favorite things to do because photographing is involved. :)

  9. Hello everyone! Penny and I have been taking a break since we lost our beloved Keli last October. It's been so very hard for both of us to adapt to her absence. Penny experienced both physical and behavioral issues, but she seems to be finally coming around after 5 months. I have no plans to re-open my Etsy shop anytime soon, but we have created a new Facebook group where I'll be trying to sell off my existing inventory to our friends and previous customers. It's called Keli's Korner by SewAmazin and if you'd like to join our group, I'd appreciate any feedback and helpful critiques you might want to share. Here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/322554708401360/

    Thanks for all your support over the years! Best regards,
    Donna & Penny
