Shop Local with starrydesigns

We're on The Storque! I did a little article for Etsy on sellers all over Asia. People featured includes CrysallisCreations, saplanet, minimania, RaesCreations, adorebynat, and Eclettica. I enjoyed writing the article because it allowed me to interact with these wonderful sellers and get to know more about them. Too bad I couldn't feature more. Check out the full article here.

All Etsy Feedback gone

Yes! They are all gone because I have left feedback for everyone. For the first time, I actually have ZERO feedback awaiting. Thanks to the new feature that Etsy introduced, leaving feedback will never be the same again. I love the batch feedback feature!

There's Something about Etsy

OMG! This is just too funny. You have to watch it (if you haven't already seen it on EtsyBitch). I was trying VERY HARD contain my laughter because it is already 12.30am here. This video is a winner!

PS: You must already know what the admins look like to understand the joke. If you don't check out the About Us page.

Of Pinks and Greens

I am loving today's front page. My favorite is the ipod cover by suezybees. Now I wish I had an ipod. ;)

Departure from UEN

Today I official stepped down as editor from the Unofficial Etsy News (UEN). I am deeply saddened, but it is something I must do. Read my departure post here.

Meetup with fellow Singapore crafters

Lis of Simple Arts Planet, Ruth of Sparkle Thots, and me met up for lunch at Dome last Thursday. We have been chatting online for a couple of months now and this is actually the first time we met up. Despite this being the first time, there were no shy smiles and awkwardness. We hit it off right away and talked about anything under the sun.

Here are Ruth and Lis. I think they both look good in this
picture. Lis thinks this picture is not as pretty as the
first one I took. I beg to differ. ;)



Here are Lis and jetlagging me. I had to go to Starbucks to
get my daily dose of Green Tea Latte. I am addicted to it.



Ruth is looking good in this picture. ;)

Now I am looking forward to the Singapore Etsy gathering in Jan 08. Details are posted here. I am excited to meet like-minded individuals. ;)
