Greetings from the Budgie Tree

As I prepare to relaunch my Etsy shop, I thought I'd start a blog to post about my crafting and inspirations, as well as what I'm up to in general, from household projects to new recipes to book and movie reviews.  I'm also planning to document the process of getting my Etsy shop up and running for the grand re-opening I have planned for January 2012.  This entails setting up my work space, tweaking the listings I had previously written, creating new items and doing their listings, and raising the profile of BudgieTree within the Etsy community and beyond.  Writing it all down here will help me track my progress and see how far I have left to go, and give me a little accountability so I don't let myself get too busy with the holidays and the baby and push the reopening to February.  As I go along, I'd be happy to hear any tips or suggestions you have for whatever I'm working on, and hopefully my readers will find some useful tidbits in what I have to say.
