Halloween Avatars!

Hi Everyone!  With the holidays coming, I wanted to switch avatars for my Etsy account.  My usual avatar (which you can see on the left side of the page) is a picture of my now-famous cat Gizmo.  He doesn't sit well for pictures, so I photoshopped a necklace on him since he won't wear one in real life. 

I created my Christmas avatar (him with a santa hat on), but as my mother says, "Isn't it a bit early for Christmas?  Whatever happened to Halloween?"  I thought of that, but I also thought it a bit late for a Halloween avatar.

But she put the idea in my head so I had to do it!  Now I've made two, and can't decide which one is better:

The Ghostly Gizmo





or

The Giz-O-Lantern?







What do you think?

NEW TEAM BLOG

So, as part of my new team leadership position for the NNNTeam (The New and Not-so-New to Etsy Team), I have created a blog for the team!  Not only will it give us a chance to further our comradre, but also will be a place where we can post Etsy shop reviews and critiques!  I can't wait to feature an artist from my team!  Please check us out here:

Team Leadership

A fabulous Etsy Friend of mine, Starla from Staflycreations, has invited me to embark on a new adventure with her in becoming the co-captain of her team the New to Etsy Team.  We have been working together a bit on this, and have turned it into something completely "New and Not so New". 

Starla really has opened my eyes to the leadership qualities I never knew I had!

I'm very grateful to her for giving me this opportunity.  She has a fabulous Etsy shop which you can find here:
