A Milestone Accomplished -My 500th Etsy Sale

Image from http://blog.statcounter.com/2007/05/statcounter-now-5-times-better-free/

When 2009 began , one of my persoal business visions was to achieve at least 500 sales as part of my financial presentaion portfolio with Project Enterprise in order to apply for a Small Business grant from NYC Small Business Solutions Entrepreneurial Assistance Program.

I cannot tell how much this means to me as a seller on Etsy that 500 customers said YES to handmade/artisan shopping or simply chose an artisan shop for simple crafting/jewelry supplies- whatever the reason it is a huge support to the indie community and I am proud to one of those shops to provide such a service.

Thank you much to all my supporters, blog readers, Facebook Fans, fellow Twitter Friends, family friends for all your promotions, mentions, interviews, prayers, words of encouragement and love-I hope I made you all proud;-)

and of course my greatest fans my customers- I wouldn't be here without you -THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! and last but certainly not least, my children you are my rock, heart, soul and my driving force-your light is my beacon of life. Love you forever, Mom;-)

Congratulations to Adornyourself.Etsy.com from Canada for becoming my 500th customer! She will be getting a gift certificate from my shop worth $50.00! Special Thanks to DigitalMisfit for featuring my shop in her new "Handmade Holiday Series" on her blog. She posted my shop news way before I got a chance to LOL!! Thanks Heidi!. A special shout to http://thesoapseduction.blogspot.com/ for your faith in me girl! & TimothyAdamDesigns for giving me my very first spotlight and endless bounds of help and encourgement. Love Ya Both!

Thank you for visiting and as always,

Be Well, Stay Strong
