I have been creating since I can remember. It runs in the blood of my family and is one of the few things like that I embraced fully.
Currently, I am working on making a variety of new things for my ETSY shop willowmoonspirit.etsy.com, while also working closely with friends on a side project called "Creative Outlets". We get together and make a variety of things and blog about it and put the things we make in our own ETSY shop, creativeoutlets.etsy.com. It's important to keep the creativity flowing and to inspire each other to be creative in many ways.
Take the Handmade Pledge!
Buying Handmade makes for better gift-giving.
The giver of a handmade gift has avoided the parking lots and long lines of the big chain stores in favor of something more meaningful. If the giver has purchased the gift, s/he feels the satisfaction of supporting an artist or crafter directly. The recipient of the handmade gift receives something that is one-of-a-kind, and made with care and attention that can
be seen and touched. It is the result of skill and craftsmanship that is absent in the world of large-scale manufacturing.
Buying handmade is better for people.
The ascendancy of chain store culture and global manufacturing has left us dressing, furnishing, and decorating alike. We are encouraged to be consumers, not producers, of our own culture. Our ties to the local and human sources of our goods have been lost. Buying handmade helps us reconnect.
Buying handmade is better for the environment.
The accumulating environmental effects of mass production are a major cause of global warming and the poisoning of our air, water and soil. Every item you make or purchase from a small-scale independent artist or crafter strikes a small blow to the forces of mass production.

Advice needed.
I want some opinions on something I've been throwing around in my head for a little while now - I'm debating on changing the name of my business from Gypsy Jewels, which it has been for years - to Willow Moonspirit. Here's why...
When I started my ETSY shop, I was not aware (like a lot of people aren't) that the user name you chose for yourself would also be the name of your shop in your URL. Well, I, personally have always identified myself as Willow Moonspirit online, so that is what I chose… Continue

Here I Am
The present is a gift. That's what they say, right? So, here I am - inspired and ready to take over the world one piece of art at a time. Tomorrow is the second meeting of a group I've put together called "Creative Outlets" and I find myself squirming in my seat with readiness to CREATE! I'm so excited at the thought that I can actually do what I love - and it be my JOB.
The present IS a gift - and I am ever so grateful.
