Rock the Vote

Guess what tomorrow is? Come on guess..It's Election Day.

I don't know about you, but I am so ready for it to be over. I am tired of the negative ads, I am tired of the blame game, I can go on and on. It is very important that you get out there and vote. I don't care who you vote for, I know who I am voting for (look to your right:) ). Too many people have fought and died for the right to vote. Don't let that struggle and fight be in vain.

This election is historical on so many levels. We could have the first African American President or the first female Vice President.

What are you going to tell your kids about this point in history? That you went out and voted, volunteered, etc.. or you stayed at home and watched T.V., because you didn't feel like waiting in line to vote. Which would you choose?


Get up, Get out, and Vote.

Politics on Etsy: Good, Bad, & Ugly

Well, I frequent the Etsy forums a lot, particularly the ETC. section. When it comes to politics it can get very heated in there. I admit, I have been apart of the fray sometimes. When it comes to politics, I can be very opinionated.
Lately, I have realized that maybe I need to take a break from the political threads. That has been a hard thing to do though.

Some might say, that participating in political threads can hurt your store.

I personally, could care less if someone chooses not to buy from me, because of my political or social views. I sell a lot of my jewelry off line and I want, to of course see my online store succeed, but if that means I have to hide who I am to do that, then oh well.

If someone has something in their store that I like, I would buy from them. I could care less if they agree with me or not when it comes to politics*. I have meet strong, smart, and supportive members in forums, from both parties. I am pretty sure that I wouldn't have, if I didn't participate.

So, for all the newbies, don't be nervous to voice your opinons.
By the way I am a proud, unapologetic supporter of Barack H. Obama II:)





* However, lol, there are like two people in particular who, hell would have to freeze over, melt, and freeze over again before I would ever consider, buying from them.
