Ooops! I'm new to the team and have already pulled my first faux pas. I posted this as a comment to the West Town show post. Oh well. I'm re-posting here.

Hello everyone. I'm a new member and just wanted to say introduce myself. How did the West Town show go?

I think you had one in Maryville too this past weekend. Lots of business and fun?

I live in Harriman / Coalfield with my husband and spoiled beagle. I started making jewelry in 2006, but had to give it up for a while. I picked it up again about this time last year and opened my shop this past March. http://www.peckhamm.etsy.com.

I love, love, love it! Making jewelry is all I do when I get home from work every day. I have a bad habit of spending way too much time trying to improve my shop rather than posting new jewelry. I have about 20 items waiting to be posted. Any of you kinda obsessed with your shop never being PERFECT? 

I've recently opened a new shop so my shop name will match my username. I hate that I had to lose my March 2006 join date, all my Feedback, and Sales! Ugh. My new shop is at http://www.bodyandsouljewelry.etsy.com.

I don't have anything listed yet.

I guess that's enough about me. I stayed up late one night over the weekend and took a look at every one of your shops! I'm so impressed! The diversity is wonderful. I look forward to meeting you all. I think it's a wonderful idea to have monthly/bi-monthly team meetings, if that's still being considered. Please let me know if you ever need help with designing and/or printing flyers or team email notifications. I have the resources and training in technical communications.

Happy crafting!
