What do you like about Etsy?
first, i love how easy it is to create a shop.i have limited web design knowledge, so i was thrilled to be able to open a professional looking store front so easily.second, the camaraderie among the artists here is absolutely inspiring.with thousands of artists in one place, it's truly amazing to find people to create with, not compete with.
What do you like about creating?
art is a very genuine sef expression.i like create things that i can do pretty well on the first try, so jewelry was my choice!

What do you love about Kids?
