Featured Seller: PrintXTreme!!
Don't ya just hate it when you fall out of routine and totally lose sight of something important?? Dear Blog, I am SO sorry for neglecting you! To make up for it, I offer a feature of a dear friend and fellow Etsy seller - Jaime of PrintXtreme!
Jaime is a mom of three kids, works full time and works three side businesses. Talk about busy! She started GraffiXtreme as a personal business for graphics design and started PrintXtreme in June 2009 with a fellow coworker from her full time job; they have been off and running ever since!
In her Etsy shop Jaime offers a wide variety of promotional items - their business cards are a pretty awesome deal - less than $45 for 1000 business cards (shipping included!). They also offer promotional postcards, fliers, posters, stickers and banners, oh!, and I can't forget their canvas prints!
Jaime designed and her partner printed Jarrett Baby's item tags, which have gotten great reviews, so it never hurts to ask for a custom item - the answer just may be yes!
Jaime recently made a visit to Colorado - we had a blast checking out the mountains together!

Featured Seller: Ponder and Stitch!
I met Amy of Ponder and Stitch in one of the Etsy Sellers chat rooms and asked her if I could feature her here on the Blog. She's a well known seller amongst the frequent chatters and someone I think ya'll should get to know as well!
Amy is from Woodstock, IL. If you've ever seen the movie Groundhog Day, you've seen her town! She recently purchased a home over 100 years old and has been busy with renovations, sounds like a project and a half (and I'm so glad it's her and not me!).
About a year and nine months ago Amy decided to teach herself how to sew. She got some books and hasn't looked back!
"If you've ever wanted to sew, it's never too late to start. I'm having a blast and didn't start til I was 30 years old. It's very frustrating at times, but it is so rewarding! I love being able to wear a piece of clothing I made myself."
Her favorite thing to make is the cuff bracelets, and she absolutely LOVES using vintage fabric. This is her favorite cuff right now:

`
Amy's goal is to have clothing in her Etsy shop this summer - once she gets a dress form she hopes to be able to accommodate all shapes and sizes.
I asked Amy for some interesting facts about her, and it's too silly to try and rewrite, so this is what I got: "I can't really think of any super-interesting things about myself. Hmm, maybe some things I can't do. I can't whistle. I can't snap my fingers. I can't swim. I can't eat cantaloupe- you couldn't PAY me to eat cantaloupe."
Be sure to check out Amy's shop at www.ponderandstitch.etsy.com OR, check out her blog here on Blogspot at: http://ponderandstitch.blogspot.com
Thank you so much Amy for allowing me to feature you on my blog and look forward to talking with you soon!

Featuring Etsy Seller: Greta's Pretty Things
I met this seller and thought she seemed pretty neat, a little different story than most of us and hopefully a fun one to read! GretasPrettyThings is derived from a burlesque stage name - Greta von Tapp.
"Greta" began performing burlesque in March 2009, in Richmond, VA, while attending college. Her routine 'gimmick' was tap dancing which she wanted to incorporate into her stage name, and VOILA! Greta von Tap was born :) She began making her own stage costumes and enjoyed creating custom pasties for her routines, as well as hair flowers and fascinators. Soon enough she began creating other pastie designs that she had no immediate use for; this is when she opened her Etsy shop, to share her pasties, fascinators, hair flowers, and other pretty accessories.
"Of all my items, pasties are definitely my favorite to make. You can do so much with them, and they're pretty unexpected as a craft item. Plus, I frequently give advice to people about how to attach them, how to twirl tassels, and so much more about burlesque in general. I love the increased interest in burlesque as an artform lately!"
Greta has been on hiatus as a performer, but I will be making her comeback in April. Anyone in the DC area can see her at the Palace of Wonders on April 2nd, with Richmond Varietease.
