<br />
<strong><em>How did you get started?</em></strong><br />
I got started designing jewelry in high school. I was always the type of person as soon as I saw someone else was wearing what I had.....couldn't wear it anymore. Had to find something new. Years (and I mean YEARS) later when I was let go from my job, I decided to take that time to get back into it again and make it into a business. <br />
<em>Pale Blue Bar Necklace</em><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><img border="0" height="320" r6="true" src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.132618897.jpg" width="240" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/43394723/pale-blue-bar-necklace"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">http://www.etsy.com/listing/43394723/pale-blue-bar-necklace</span></a></div><br />
<strong><em>Where do you create?</em></strong><br />
<br />
I have a small little studio room in my place that has a beautiful big sliding glass door (nature is a HUGE inspiration for me).<br />
<em><strong>Tell us how you decided on your shop name.</strong></em><br />
<br />
I wanted something that was timeless and could shift and evolve with me no matter what I did. So it was only fitting that my name be my business as well!<br />
<br />
<em>Ice Blue Crystal Drop Earrings</em><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.184673191.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" r6="true" src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.184673191.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/59375999/ice-blue-crystal-drop-earrings?ref=v1_other_1"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">http://www.etsy.com/listing/59375999/ice-blue-crystal-drop-earrings?ref=v1_other_1</span></a></div><br />
<strong><em>What inspires you to create your products?</em></strong><br />
<br />
<br />
Nature is a big inspiration to me!....Lately I've been playing with vintage ideas though and will have them up in my shop very soon hopefully.<br />
<strong><em>Where do you see yourself and your products in 10 years?</em></strong><br />
<br />
I hope I am still doing what I am doing right now only with more interest and sales........maybe even a baby or 2 in tow.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<strong><em>How did you feel the first time someone actually paid money for something you had made?</em></strong><br />
<br />
I feel the same way every time a sale shows up in my inbox. Excited (special happy dance of course), I don't think it will ever change for me, and I hope it doesn't.<br />
<strong><em>Any advice you would like to share with a newbie who may be reading this?</em></strong><br />
<br />
Keep working at it. It's hard working for yourself, you have noone telling you what you "should" do, what works. A lot of reading and learning is involved ( I've been open since 2009 and I'm still trying to learn more and more). Basically just keep your head up. If you show people how much you love your product(s) then they will be interested and want to check it out too. <br />

<br />
Sandy's Soaps are made from scratch using the old-fashioned cold process method of combining various oils, butters, and lye in just the right amounts to create a luxurious soap that she is proud to offer to you. Her soap is made in very small batches for quality control over the entire process. After curing for 4 - 6 weeks, she hand-cuts and individually packages each soap. <br />
<br />

<strong>And Now An Interview With Sandyvern...</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong><em>How did you get started?</em></strong><br />
<br />
Making soap...I got started because I was looking to do something as a thank you to all my pet sitting customers for Christmas...that wouldn't break the bank of a small business owner. <br />
<strong><em>Tell us how you decided on your shop name.</em></strong><br />
<br />
Sadly I did not put much time into the thought of a shop name because I had already had a user name for Etsy for purchase before I started selling stuff...and then over time I just kept adding things to my shop...so Sandy's Soaps & Things became a good catch all :-)<br />
<br />
<strong><em>Brown Sugar Scrub Soap</em></strong><br />

<br />
<strong><em>How did you feel the first time someone actually paid money for something you had made?</em></strong><br />
<br />
LOVED IT!!! It was so cool to think that someone wanted to pay me money for something I made ;-) It is rather addicting!!<br />
<br />
<strong><em>How do you handle your family life while creating from home? </em></strong><br />
<br />
My life gets a little hectic now and then with pet sitting jobs all over the place and so I try and "relax" by crafting in between running from one job to the other.<br />
<br />

<strong><em>Any advice you would like to share with a newbie who may be reading this? </em></strong><br />
<br />
Just do it! Ya never really know who will want to pay for something you make...there are a lot of people out there who are not 'crafty' or have never tried to be crafty and are willing to pay to have what you made.<br />
<strong><em>Where can you be found online?</em></strong><br />
<br />

Eileen's Advice for newbies: "My advice would be to learn about SEO and increase traffic to your shop, and also take advantage of free promotion via the social media. Use the social media and join a great group like BESTeam or another Etsy Team."<br />
