This Month I joined this wonderful group On Fire For Handmade on Facebook & Etsy. We support each other, advertise for each other and blog about each other. The Leader of the group is wonderful. Everyday she has something new for us, she keeps track of it all( I do not know how because its a large group). She researches each Artisan and then does a wonderful weekly feature on each member. I had mine last week and I was so honored that so many wonderful people took the time to share my Sites where I sell and Blog. Its so hard to get the word out there that you are selling and creating and this group sure does do that for you.

About the OnFireForHandmade Blog: Wow that is a busy site. Anne just recreated it. Which if you have a blog you know that is not a small task. I'm still figuring things out everyday. I love to blog and love to share my work and other work that I see other Artisans do. Handcrafted Art just amazes me. Its not produced in a factory. Real wonderful people put hours of time and love into each and everything they make. Sadly we are all so underpaid because it is so hard to compete with company's that mass produce. I know that every time I have purchased a handcrafted item it is 100 times better and I'm more proud to wear it and or use it than I am anything I purchased from a regular store. I support and shop Handcrafted now and I'm proud of it. The online shopping world it amazing. I'm handicapped and I just cant shop like I used to so to have access to handcrafted wonderful items is the best. This group has just about everything you can imagine. I like that because were all a bit different and we all support each other. Sorry I got off track there.

For the Share the Love ~ Bloggers Unite , Anne and her Staff makes it really easy she does the blog for you. Not for me. I like to do it myself. I love to look at all the artists work and their sites and create my own little blog. So bare with me as I don't follow the rules exactly. I just feel if this group is doing all these amazing things for me. Ten minutes to look up some great information on another artist is not a problem and very fun. So here goes.

Now to share a little more about this wonderful Handcrafted Artist and where she sells. How to find her and fall in love with her products. From the descriptions of the scents I know where I will be doing some holiday shopping.
She has a wonderful shop on Etsy, bright and so pretty. Here are a few of her products and the photos.
Again Soap is making me hungry. I think that is a great sales Idea. Maybe I can make my Clay and Jewelry smell like food and people will want it. LOL. Have to try that one day. :) We used to have jewelry and beads that smelled like fruit when we were kids. Maybe that would work. Something to ponder. lol
Truly thougth this Etsy shop is full of yummy goodies that you wont want to pass up. Smells of heaven. YUMMY..
You can also find The Handmaden Soap Company on Facebook. You can stop by show her page some love by LIKE -ing it and who knows you may find some amazing handcrafted things that you cant live without.

Well I am off to heal. I had Epidural injections in my lower spine today. Very sore but this gave me something fun to do to keep my mind off of it. I hope everyone stops by Anne's, Tonya's and the OnFireForHandmade Blog and sites. These are a great group of Artisans that you will love getting to know.
