My Etsy Team Wins Etsy Fellowship Grant!!!

I am shouting this from the rooftops!!!  I am the Captain of the Sunshine Farm Girl Co-op Etsy Team.  We are a small team of 38  members, but we are strong, motivated and supportive of each other.  I keep my team busy with activities in our weekly training classes on Facebook.  They never complain that they can't keep up, they pull up their bootstraps and plow right on through the task at hand.

With a team like that I was moved to apply for the Etsy Fellowship Grant in September 2012.  I had no idea whether our little team would matter to Etsy Admin folks, but it was worth the chance of at least putting ourselves in front on them and to say 'We are here'!

When I first received the email with the subject: 'Your teams fellowship grant application,' my heart skipped at beat.  I said a prayer and kept calm deciding no matter what it said it was at least a response.  Well, I could have been blown over with a feather when I read that they wanted to get more information about our team activites.  A phone appointment was set and suddenly I was astir with all kinds of emotions.  

I could not spill the beans until I knew for sure if we were going to get a grant or not for our fundraiser.  Well, today Etsy sent me the funds so that we could place our order and get our fundraiser rolling!!!  Wahoo!!!!

Get ready for the first in a series of books from the Sunshine Farm Girl Co-op team.  It will be available for sell on our website in a few weeks.  It is a recipe, tips and diy project book rolled into one!!!  All the members of the co-op contributed so you'll get to visit each of their shops as you read each page.

I am so proud of my team and hope you will support our fundraiser by buying one of our first books.

Please let me hear your thoughts about our great news!!!!  Leave a comment here for us!!!

To join our co-op visit SUNSHINE FARM GIRL CO-OP!

Many Blessings,

Country Gourmet Home Fall/Winter 2012 Catalog

Country Gourmet Home Fall/Winter 2012 Catalog

I recently found a wonderful company that makes natural gourmet mixes without artificial ingredients. Once you buy them and get ready to prepare your families meal you'll want to be sure to buy natural or organic products to add to your meal in order to keep the whole meal preservative and additive free.  Most of the mixes only require water so adding purified water instead of tap water would keep it chemical free.  The same would apply to the other meal mixes or dessert mixes.

 Browse their Fall &Winter 2012 Catalog on my website.  Country Gourmet Home products come in these wonderful selections;  Gourmet Food Mixes, Wax Melts, Lotion Bars & More.  Simply click below to browse our Country Gourmet Home Catalog!

Each day you'll find a new money saving deal.  So bookmark the website below and check back daily to save big.  We also have a monthly special where you'll find meal kits and exclusive products available only through these special meal planning kits.

Getting Started on YouTube

To YouTube and Beyond!!!

Do you YouTube?  If not, it is a great way to promote your business or a great place to show off your DIY projects.  Do you know how to add the little share buttons at the bottom of the posts here on Blogger?  You can make a video about how to do that and it will get tons of views and likes.  From there you can just keep adding more videos and the next thing you know you are popular and go viral.  

I had no idea what I needed to do other than have a web cam or camcorder.  I first googled "How to make a video on YouTube with your laptop".  There was a great YouTube video done that showed exactly how to get started.  It did take a little time for me to figure out how to upload it and find it in my documents file.  But, after that little research I was 'live' on YouTube!

I've made two videos so far.  One is about my website, Sunshine Farm Girl Co-op and our sampler bag.  The second one is about one of my mixed media art journals.  It is so much nicer to see a product on live video than just seeing it in a picture.  YouTube even has their own fix-it features built right into the program.  So, if you are a little shaky there is a fix-it button for that!  If the lighting is not bright enough there is a fix-it button for that.

And, the cool thing is it tells you these issues so you can just hit the button and in a flash your video is now close to perfect.  Of course, being an amateur at this means that your first few videos will be like a "B" movie.  But, that's okay.  It is fun to tweak your location and gain confidence in yourself and then over time your videos will improve and it will show. 

Here are my first two that I made.  Check them out and please 'like' them and subscribe!  

Mixed Media Art Journal

 
Eco-Gift Sampler Bag 

 

If you've already made a DIY video on YouTube please share it here in the comments section.  I'd like to stop by and 'like' it for you.  Stay tuned for more of my fun videos coming to my channel real soon!

Thanks,

Marsha

A Sampler Bag Full of Handmade Gifts and More!

Today is Blog posting day for the Sunshine Farm Girl Co-op Team!  Happy Thursday!!!

I'm going to share a preview with you today of a new and exciting program we are launching in January 2013 on our website.  You may be familiar with us or you may not be, yet!  I hope after reading this post that you will be curious enough to head on over and check us out.

There are not very many people who can be thought of in today's handmade market that truly are giving a helping hand at no cost to others.  I'm speaking of a great website called Mary Jane's Farm forum.  It is a free forum where you can barter, swap, sell anything.  Plus, you can share your ups and downs of family life and business life and someone will listen and have a word of encouragement or excitement in return.

I've been to several other Mom forums and Mary Jane's Farm is the only one that I have had success on.  Why?  Because, it is a group of like minded women who truly care about other women.  I'm not saying that the other forum's don't have women who truly care about other women.  But, that for me personally I have not found the same warm and caring environment elsewhere.

That is until I started my own website based on that kind of warm and caring attitude.  You can really make friends with the women who are a part of my website, just like I did on Mary Jane's website.   I hold weekly classes in our private Facebook group where we share marketing strategies, promotion ideas and a word of support along the way.

We work together as a team, not against each other behind someone's back.  This is a real gift if you can find it in yourself to give for the good of the group. If this is you, then we'd like to invite you to share your gift with us.

At the present time we are promoting our (click here>>>>>) Eco-Gift Sampler Bag.  It is filled with 14 wonderful handmade gifts and direct sells samples.  All in one cute bundle for just shipping and handling! 

In Our Handmade Gift Sampler bag there are two direct sells products.  One is from Watkins Naturals and the other is from Thirty-One Gifts.  You'll have to buy a bag to find out what the other 12 full size handmade gifts are.  I can promise you that you won't be disappointed.

I promised you a preview of our new program coming in January 2013.  Here is a picture of one of the seller's item.  See if you can figure out what it might be about from the picture.


 I'll give you another clue in November and in December I'll make the big announcement.  And, give you a sneak peak at other seller's products from my website that are participating in this new and exciting adventure with me.

Don't forget to visit our website and pick up you Eco-Gift Sampler Bag today! 

Have a Sunshine Day!

Marsha

Free Stuff! Free Samples!!! Freebies!!!

It recently came to my attention that you can get free samples of handmade products and only pay for shipping and the listing fee on Etsy the handmade marketplace.  So, that struck a cord near and dear to my heart cause I love getting samples of things that I am interested in trying before I buy a bigger quantity.

That discovery led me down a path of excitement as I contemplated the scope of possibilities this could have for my co-op members.  I always try out my ideas first on my families 3 shops on Etsy before I announce the ideas to the group, but this one I just knew would work so I shared it right away with them.

By now I'm sure you are asking yourself what are your 3 free samples you are offering us?  Well, I'm so glad you asked cause I'm ready and willing to tell you!!!!  Here they are!!!!  Tell me what you think and please by all means get them all so you can come back here and give our reader's your feedback.

In our Vintage 50s Treasures shop we are offering you one free yo-yo with a vintage button embellishment for .50 plus shipping!  Each sample is one per address in the U.S. only!  Next, up is our free sample my Jeanpatch by MK shop!

This freebie is one of my popular items.  Beautiful hand stitched envelopes.  The decorative side is inside and the white is on the outside for writing the name and address clearly.  I take custom orders for parties and weddings.  One of my customer's ordered 100 for wedding favors to put a CD in for each of their guests to have a memento of their wedding!  Pick one up today in my Jeanpatchbymk shop!

The ever versatile bookmark made from vintage book pages!  These are the cutest heart shaped bookmarks!  We take vintage books that we make into secret safe books and save the cut-out pages for other projects.  These make great gifts for avid reader's, teacher's and when you want a novel gift!  Pick up your free sample in our Reflections of Kayla shop!

Be on the lookout for the announcement when the rest of my member's have their freebies ready for you to try.

Happy Savings!

My Florida Garden Sept 2012

Green as far as the eye can see in my Florida Garden!

These purple and white flowers greet you as you come up the walkway!  The yellow flowers are what is raining down from my Rain Tree!  The bees are humming by the thousands around the flowers on the tree.

How many of you can recognize this plant hanging in the basket?  It is a rare plant and very hard to keep alive unless you put it in an ideal spot and don't move it, ever!  It is a rice cactus!  It gets shade and rain and plenty of morning sun.  I have had this plant for over 20 years!  Isn't that a huge accomplishment!!

I love succulent plants as well.  Before my illness I would get out in the yard daily and tend to my variety of plants.  Now they are pretty much on their own and somehow they still do great!!!  I guess the love God is pouring down on them for me is doing the job better than I could.

This is Kayla's corner!  Two rain trees seeded in the pot so we are waiting for DH to pull them out.  They have super-glue on the roots so it takes a man to uproot them.  The bottom pot is the rest of the succulent variety.  The frilly thin leaf plant is an umbrella plant, these are great for cleaning the air indoors. Then there is a lovely vine type plant that Kayla planted that has the prettiest yellow flowers.  It has over-grown the trellis and that is why it is leaning over.
Behind that on the wall is another vine plant called a filadendron.    And, the ever spreading passion flower vine is in the mix too!

I hope you enjoyed this walk in my garden today.  Please share your garden pictures with us on your blog or Facebook page and leave a comment here so we can take a peek.  I love gardens, don't you!

Have a Green Day!

Marsha

Reuse, Recycle, Repurpose!

Where does the time go?  Here we are at the door of Fall and only 3 months away from closing out another year!  Do you have goals still for this year to complete?  If you are like me you have a list of things-to-do each day and some just never seem to get done on time.

Well, a while back I presented a new product line to my Etsy shop.  It was those beautiful vintage hankie greeting card and journal sets.  I've sold a few and had several more in the making and just needed to complete the inside of the cards.

So, this week I made it a goal to get those finished and listed in my shop.  Well, they are just about finished so I wanted to share them with you before I put them in my shop tomorrow.  Are you ready to ooh and ahh?  Take a look and tell me which one you like best!

I made ATC (artist trading cards) to go with each set.  The cool thing about these are that the little journal covers can be taken off and another new book can be put inside.  The inside of the card has a fabric pocket for you to keep little tidbits of stuff in and the card can be displayed on a shelf cause it is so pretty.

For all you purple passion ladies, this one is made especially with you in mind!  It comes with a cute journal cover that has a bird appliqued on the front.  Along with a special ATC!  This card is tall and just gorgeous, don't you think!

This is my coffee lovers set!  I appliqued a cute coffee cup on the front of the journal cover.  The card has the words Savor on the front!  When you love to drink coffee, you really savor every sip!

Never fear, I didn't leave out the tea lovers either!  This set is pretty in pink!  A cute tea cup is on both the card and the cover.  The inside fabric matches the journal cover.  A perfect finish to the perfect cup of tea!

You've heard of those birds and bees!  Well, this is the flowers and the trees and butterflies!  I love this set the most out of them all!  I just love flowers and butterflies!  I can't help it, it started when I was a child and stayed in my blood!  Green is one of my favorite colors so I focused on the green in the card when I made the cover for the journal and the little ATC.

Okay, so now you have seen them all.  Which one is your favorite?  Please leave a comment and let me know, would ya?

Have a Happy Day!

Marsha

Handmade Gift Product Review

This post is a product review of my website's Eco-Gift Sampler Box for April 2012.  I do a handmade sampler box 4 to 5 times a year with a different theme.  In April I presented a Spring themed box of handmade gifts from members of my Sunshine Farm Girl Co-op website.

Here is what was in the box.  

Reflections of Kayla - original artwork drawings made into note cards.   


Country Cents - One-of-a-kind sewing creations.  A lovely mug rug or snack mat.
On the left is a adorable handmade fabric tissue holder for your purse or office.  Made by Sunshine Sisters where you'll find more great designer fabric custom made housewares.


Finally, there was a handmade product by Jeanpatch by MK.  My very own sustainable shop and I specialize in altered vintage books,  journals, weekly planners and greeting cards just to name a few.  I made a drawstring bag out of beautiful bird and butterfly fabric.
Our July Eco-Gift Sampler Box is filled with 12 handmade gifts with the fun Summer & Family theme.  You can have your own surprise party when you open the box and take out each adorable item.  The hard part will be if you want to give some away or keep them all for yourself!


Order one for you and a friend on our website, click here.  As soon as they are all sold I will do a product review for each of the 12 shops that are in the box.


Please sign up for our weekly newsletter on the home page of my website at the above link.  You'll keep updated on all the co-op happenings and get to meet each of our 140 shops of our Etsy team each week.
 

Here is a sneak peek of the July Eco-Gift Sampler Box!
