There is no 'i' in TEAM....

I was invited to be a part of what turned out to be a really cool, really active team on Etsy.

I received the invitation, filled out a little introduction to the team and waited for the vote of yes or no to be a part of the team.  I have not been a part of any teams on Etsy, so I never realized what it is, exactly.  This particular team is amazingly active and there's always some conversing going on about advertising as a group, suggestions to each other, etc.  I enjoy the back and forth of figuring out new ideas, the collaborations, etc. When there is a show going on that someone is doing, they invite the team members to send advertising material for their own shops to pass out at the show.  Or if you happen to be in driving distance of a particular show, you are invited to join the booth with your own items. The support is great... the suggestions are golden. It's pretty darn magical...

Now that I am in the group, I also see the process of voting that happens for new members.  The group is all about 'Offbeat Weddings'... which totally rocks.  So when voting, everyone takes into consideration things like-
-Are the items represented in the shop 'offbeat' enough?
-Do you have a wedding section or are you primarily wedding oriented?
-Basically, how cool are your handmade creations?
-What kind of feedback have you received on your handmade items?


We have alllll kinds of vendors on this team... almost anything you can think of for your 'Offbeat Wedding' can be found there... Mini top hats, corsets, Marie Antoinette inspired dresses, bridal gowns that are way too cool for words, bridesmaid dresses that you will actually want to wear again and again.... cake toppers that are way more than just your complacent looking bride and groom....the list goes on and on.  It's just too good for words, really. Here are some of the shops in our team that are totally 'cyber-stalk' worthy...

(Just a few... but you should really go to the team page and check all of the team members out!)


I feel really honored to be a part of this team.  As silly as it seems, it feels like another really incredible validation that I have not sunken into the world of the mundane.  I try to keep it fresh, and being a part of this team really reminds me that I am knocking it out of the park.... and I plan to keep doing it for a long, long time.
