New Jersey Etsians {Giveaways}

If you love browsing Etsy and often think: "My little girl/boy would love that!" or "That piece would be perfect for my wall!" or "Ooooooh, I want those earrings!" - keep reading to learn how you can get your hands on some of the awesome creations you see everyday.


Recently, I joined a team on Etsy: New Jersey Etsians
The team's goal is "to support and promote each other, and help each other grow as an artist." I have felt so welcomed in their environment of friendly and talented creators. After just a few weeks, I have seen them create and suggest ways to exhibit their crafts effectively. There is a genuine feeling of support on the discussion boards, which I absolutely adore!
