You could have knocked me over with a feather...

There I was, reading the new posts on my Etsy Street Team message boards - something about members of our street being featured on the Front Page of Etsy (I made a cursory glance at the names - mostly the usual suspects) then I went on to about our team was mentioned in a Storque article...and then it hit me...I had to go back and re-read the names of the artists featured on the Front PAge and that's when I got the shock of my life! Dancing Monkey Jewelry was one of the artists. That's me!!!! Then my world came crashing down because I missed the front page...I missed it. I was devestated - I missed my own BIG MOMENT!!!! However, I did get a consolation prize. Margo, the team organizer, capture a screen shot of the front page - and there I was in all my glory (second row - on the right) - along with a few of my team members. I sat there basking in the glow of my computer monitor, takin it all in. Then I started sending out emails to all my friends - letting them know. And now I'm telling you - my loyal and devoted readers. What the heck is good about good news if you don't share it?

Oh, what a wonderful day. Thank you, Margo for being so vigiliant. If it weren't for you I would have never known.

But wait there's more - I'll be back to write Part II of this post. I want to introduce you to the other members of the Team EtsyRain Street Team that were there with me on the Front Page - they're a talented bunch and I would like to sing their praise.

Until then, take care and I'll be back later.

Best Regards,
