Hooray for VEGAS ETSY TEAM!

Hi everyone, My name is Michelle I am a SAHM of 3. I am a forever crafter/artist and now staying at home I am an ETSY ADDICT! My shop is Hip couture Diva and I create womens and childrens boutique couture accessories. I love Fashion and LOVE MAGAZINES!

I am happy to see so many Etsy artists interested in this group. I wish us all luck in making a niche in the ETSY COMMUNITY!

You can also visit The District at Green Valley SOLA SALONS LORRI SIMPSON CREATIONS for my unique and one of a kind designs. She has a wonderful boutique with hand made aromatherapy products,boutique accessories and more.

Looking Forward To a Great Group!

Hi ! I'm Elayne. I live in the NW, Summerlin area and work on the strip.

My mom and I are Chezchani. Mom does fused glass while I do beading (Peyote Stitch,) Resin, and Upcycled Drink Can Jewelry. I also make candles but that's mostly for gifts.

I shall check out (and heart) all your Etsy shops. If you have a FB fanpage let me know. Mine is http://facebook.com/chezchani.

Unfortunately due to my work schedule, I can't do craft shows. Hoping to eventually be able to work it out so I'm free occasionally on a Saturday. I really DON'T like to dust all the crafts lying around.

You rock; we'll roll

Sarah, thank you so much for spearheading this endeavor! I am very pleased to see how many Las Vegans (& Pahrumpians, et al) have joined up so quickly.

Thanks also to Jaime for offering up her woodchipping (shades of "Fargo") shop for the 1st meetup :-)

SINcerely,

So Happy To Be Here

Hi Everone! I'm so excited to be part of this Las Vegas Team. I have been making Tutus and Bows for about 3 months now and am really excited to get some advice from local crafters. I am a married working mom and mother of 2 girls (age 18 and 9) and during my down time late at night- I start crafting. I love everything girly and both my girls are exiting that stage so I had to think of some way to play dress up. Etsy seems to be the perfect site for me and everyone is so nice and friendly. Looking forward to our first meeting in May! Here are a few of my new listings and my site is http://www.tutuland.etsy.com/ :

First Team Event - May 25th!

Thanks to our very accomplished and generous team member, Jaime of Wooditis , we have a place to hold our first Team Event. Jaime owns and operates a workworking school in North Las Vegas and has offered space in her facility for us to meet.  This is just for those of you who are interested in meeting up, and I know there are a bunch of you in the Pahrump/Boulder City are who may not be able to swing the drive.  I'll try and have a Henderson area meeting at some point and also a meetup in Pahrump for anyone interested.  Also, for those team members not interested in physical meetings, no worries.  We'll just stalk your Etsy shop.

For our first get together, let's plan on Tuesday, May 25th at 7pm.  If possible, please bring an item you've created that represents your craft to display on a table.  Please be sure mark your item with your shop name. and we can ask questions and then just mingle, eat, swap crafty war stories and learn to adore each other.

Also, because we are not charging membership fees for this group, I'm hoping a handful of people coming would be willing to bring some sort of dessert or drink (soda, juice, whatever). We'll provide the cups and napkins. You bring enough for ten and hopefully if a few people bring treats, it'll pan out. I'm ceaselessly optimistic.

The room we are meeting in is big enough to fit all of us, however there are limited chairs.  If you would be more comfortable sitting, please bring your own camp chair to use.

Jaime's shop is located in North Las Vegas at 2267 W. Gowan, in units 106. It's a modern warehouse facility and has ample parking.  At the driveway, you will see a big red-white-and-blue "For Lease" sign, pull in there, and it's about halfway back on the right, in unit 106. Feel free to bring a friend or two if you are nervous about the rest of us turning out to be ax murderers. Actually, we are holding this in a woodworking shop so who knows what kinds of saws Jaime has or what she keeps in her woodchipper...

Juuuust kidding. If you think you can come, please respond to this post or email me. Also, if you think you can bring a dessert or drink, please let me know as well.

Thanks again, Jaime! Can't wait to meet you guys.
