I doubt I'm alone here but I still have to say it....I think I'm one of the easiestly distractible people on the planet BUT only when it comes to my own business. If you give me a task in any other area of my life, I'm on it and I follow through but when it comes to running a business, I find it extremely hard to stay focused. For example, I sat down 3 hours ago to prepare the newsletter for next week (it's a sale one, oooher!) and somehow that evolved into writing a blog post but before I even began writing, I was playing with the font, layout and general appearance of the blog. Something I'd been meaning to do for two months. Searching for a decent set of social media icons (especially ones that include  Pinterest ) somehow became part of that equation as well. When I realised my distraction, I then visited  Fishpond  and bought two books on running a craft business/setting yourself goals/staying on track etc. Apparently self awareness = throw money at it. A...

No, not the business, just the sale! Had you there for a second didn't I? Muhaha. You might remember reading in my last blog post  that the end of financial year sale is finishing up tomorrow and although many things have sold out, there are still heaps  of awesome things to grab at 25% off the usual price.

I've been giving this a lot of thought and I've made the decision to move most of my products sales away from Etsy and sell on Big Cartel instead. The fees to sell on Etsy are quite high and quite frankly as a store owner, I haven't been getting the support from them I was expecting so it's time to move on. I'll still keep the store front and sell my most popular items but the majority of my sales will be coming from Big Cartel. I want to keep the best sellers on there because even though it's not a great site for store owners, it's a great site to shop and if you've already got an account, it's very convenient and great to browse through. Here's the address for the new shop  http://sailormouthsoaps.bigcartel.com/ So because of this, I won't be renewing some of my less popular (and soon to be discontinued) soaps on Etsy, I've moved them to the  SALE  section so you can grab a bargain! Here's a sneak peak of some of the soaps avail...
