- I was just getting started on Etsy when I found Squidoo... I've been so busy here that I never found the time to get back to it. Recently, I have been considering helping my daughter set up a shop to help earn money for her school trips and could definitely benefit from reading these tutorials. :)

- Thanks Kathy! These tutorials are very, very useful. I've been selling on Etsy for some time, but because of illness, I haven't been able to list there full time. The site has changed somewhat and I'm needing to familiarize myself again. 5*s.
