Deader than a Doornail

That is how I feel my Etsy shop is right now. I have had two sales in I don't know how long and both of them were for sale items (although one of them was not supposed to be for sale.) I put the darn stuff on 40% off to destash some of those hair clips and headbands and I have had one sale. What a giant drag. Will I try the Christmas in July sale next year? Probably not unless things change radically. The whole summer has been sluggish compared to spring and it stinks!! Okay, my vent is over. Tomorrow morning bright and early starts my team's "scraps" challenge. We are supposed to be crafting stuff from bits sitting around the house. I have no idea what I am going to do as I have tons of stuff sitting around the house but most of it isn't scraps. So I shall just have to see what I can come up with. On a side note, teenage boys with nothing to do all summer are a giant pain. They whine, they complain, they go out to the mailbox and already stink by the time they get back and then want to hug you. I almost wish school was back in but then I would be driving him to karate all the way across the city twice a week. I am not missing that I can tell you! I have listed a couple of new clips this past week including this one that I think turned out really pretty.

We will see if it generates any interest.

Where are all the views?

What is going on at good old etsy?!! I seriously need to vent!! I just posted a new item on etsy this evening and so far I have racked up the grand total of 2 view. What the heck is going on? I have never EVER had that few views, even when I listed at 2:00 in the morning. Something is going on at etsy and it sucks!! I think they are doing more of their tweaking and it is making items harder to be found. It really makes me mad because it is affecting my business!! I get more views than that on Artfire items and Ecrater items so this is ridiculous!! Here is my sweet item that no one is paying attention to:

It is too cute to be missed!! On a side note, I have three diaper cakes that I have to complete but haven't gotten around to yet. I really need to get started but I just had to vent!!
