There *are* nice people in the world...and on etsy!


Let's face it... I may have been one of the most computer savvy people at my last job but in the real world, and with my Mac, I am pretty much hopeless.
As you know (Kate... because she is my only follower) I have opened a few different online shops. My ipod covers are selling like crazy and my hands were getting a little tired of sewing so I started making feather earrings. I am getting off topic. Anyhow, if you visit my shops it is completely obvious that I have no idea how to made an appropriate banner. I actually spent HOURS with "Preview" trying to figure out how to create a text box over my photos. (I think this was the first time in 2 years that I wished for a PC so that I may use Photoshop). Apparently my buyers didn't seem to care, but my lack of a "real" banner was really getting to me. I searched through different forums and I found an art student who was looking to build her portfolio...she was offering FREE etsy banners! I emailed her, and figured that she was going to sell my email address to some company and I would never hear from her again, but I was wrong.
Within days Angela A. had created a beautiful banner for me...and I love it! You have to check it out!!
Thank you so much Angela! You have made my year and I greatly appreciate the time and effort you put in to making my shop a more wonderful place to visit. I really hope the best for you in life...and your art career.
