MEN ARE THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE JOY

Before the Lord, then, humbly go.
His message will our spirits buoy.
On us his blessings he'll bestow,
For "men are that they might have joy."

Hymns, #275

Because that's how we help each other- get on the front page and get more exposure.

enter the challenge HERE (you won't be able to leave a comment on this post so there is no confusion)

>> Saturday, July 31, 2010

Well this week I decided to use an item from someone who is doing the month challenge. And is always nice and entering my other challenges. And we are on a team together. And I just like her. Also her three month old weighs 18 pounds. I bet that is one cute cuddly baby.
we are etsy best friends these days.

Her earrings are adorable! you should check them out and buy some. if you want to buy me some I like the ones with little flowers on them. Just a simple post with a pop of color.
I picked the Grace Dangle Earrings for the challenge. My niece is named Grace and this blue is so beautiful.

THE RULES:
first off, please follow my shop blog. now for the official rules:

1. Go to the Treasury page of Etsy HERE and make a treasury with ANYTHING, as long as the Grace Dangle Earrings are included in the first three rows of the treasury.
2. Put "Treasury Challenge" somewhere in the title of the treasury.
3. Link Back to this blog post- that way people can find the challenges and you can get credit for referring them!
   
4. Tag your treasury "treasury challenge"
   
5. COMMENT with your link to the treasury- BUT YOU HAVE TO COMMENT HERE.
6. Please refer people- tell them to say you sent them. If the winner mentions your name you will also get a the same prize they do.

Notes-

• I am super excited to see what people will come up with. I contact the winner through etsy. Sometimes I am slow. It can take up to four days after I post the winner to contact you- what can I say, my kiddos are crazy right now. If you see that you have one sent me a convo with your address and I will send you a prize.

• if your treasury makes front page you win a ten dollar gift card in addition to other prizes from this competition.

• MULTIPLE TREASURIES ARE ALLOWED. and encouraged. You can feature this item to your hearts content.
• if the item sells out just pick a different item from the shop- as long as you link back here and write a comment you are good to go.
  

The prize this week? a 10 amazon gift card. I can send it right to your email address which I LOVE. Or a target gift card in the mail, which is slower. TREASURY CHALLENGES GO FROM SUNDAY TO SUNDAY from now on. You have a week, please spread the word.

Monday Treasures

My Heavenly Father Loves Me
Whenever I hear, the song of a bird
Or look at the blue, blue sky,
Whenever I feel the rain on my face
Or the wind as it rushes by,

Whenever I touch a velvet rose
Or walk by our lilac tree,
I'm glad that I live in this beautiful world
Heavenly Father created for me.

He gave me my eyes that I might see
The color of butterfly wings.
He gave me my ears that I might hear
The magical sound of things.

He gave my my life, my mind, my heart:
I thank him reverently
For all his creations of which I'm a part.
Yes, I know Heavenly Father loves me.

Children's Songbook, #228

Our lives are made in these small hours
These little wonders, these twists and turns of fate
Time falls away but these small hours
These small hours still remain

Did you think to pray?
Oh, how praying rests the weary!
Prayer will change the night to day.
So, when life gets dark and dreary,
Don't forget to pray.

Treasury Initiative

Some team members have asked for tutorials and ideas about the team. I love this team- I was so excited that we were on the front page last week. and I curated the treasury :-) I thought we should all keep in mind the pointers etsy gives us for making a treasury.
I am still compiling the list of our members to use in treasury making. The people on the list so far are those that have given me their etsy mini, so they are probably more active than other members. Some of the most popular etsy sellers aren't as active in the group- PROBABLY because they are really busy with sales- but they have excellent products and pictures so they are fun to include. I think the best place to find members is our etsy team page- but some of the newest members can take a few weeks to update.

THE LDS ETSY TREASURY TEAM INITIATIVE- we try to make treasuries for the team each monday (thanks annavirginiafashioneering) and would love if everyone made treasuries featuring team members once a week. you can post them on facebook and our google group, then we can all look at your ideas.

Tips for making a team treasury:

• include at least 8 lds etsy team members
• NEVER include yourself. a treasury where the curator featured themselves has NEVER been on the front page. It never will I think.
  

  *Keep this next part in mind, which I took directly from the link below: “The Treasury is not intended for self-promotion, but instead to acknowledge and share the many cool things for sale on Etsy.”

  · http://www.etsy.com/storque/how-to/how-to-make-a-treasury-the-nuts-and-bolts-688/

• When you make a treasury- remember to put the link on our facebook page- we need more action over there.
• look for shops with lds team tag
• have a theme- color or mood or item

Helpful sites:
Craftcult- has archives and screen shots of front page treasuries- browse them for ideas and the "feel" of what etsy wants
Craftopolis - has a search feature to see if you are featured in treasuries
Etsy Poster Sketch tool lets you lay out your treasury and move things around before you are done
