Memorial Day is Around the Corner

Here in the United States, Memorial Day is around the corner. It is a time that we honor those who, in our history, have died serving this country. We do it with festivities, as well as moments of silence. It is also the unofficial start of Summer, and, like all holidays, it is a big weekend for retail sales.

The JET's shops are no exception! Maybe your favorite item will be on sale this weekend? Do not forget to visit your favorite Jet shops to see!

Everything in my shop is already marked 15% off until Monday

Most importantly, do not forget to stop for a moment and honor those who have given their lives for our freedom, as well as families and friends who have lost a loved one at War.

My New Team: Project Etsy Embrace

My new team! I am honored and excited to be part of a new team on Etsy: Team Project Etsy Embrace.

Team Project Etsy Embrace  is a Universal Coalition of Artists, Suppliers and Vintage Collectors, who initially were brought together as a way to help a friend and wonderful Etsian, Laura Slocum who had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. You can read more about how the group got started in this article:

Today, Team Project Etsy Embrace. not only supports the American Cancer Society (ACS), but also The American Hospice Foundation (AHF).

I do not know what my family would have done without the loving care and guidance of our Hospice Team.

This Treasury features a few of my new wonderful team mates.

Does Facebook Make You Crazy? 1st in a Series

Easy Peazy Guide to Putting a FaceBook “Like” Button on Your Blogger Blog

 

1. Go to your fan page

2. click on "Edit Info" (upper right)

3. click on "Marketing" on the left side

4. click on "Add a Like Box to your Website"

5. Put your pages link/ address  in the box titled "Facebook Page URL"

6. Tweak the settings ( peek at mine)

• Mine is 175 width, in order to line up with my other widgets
• I chose light because Dark is a black background, too dark for my blog
• I chose not to “show stream” because it looked too busy for my blog
• I chose “show faces” because I like to see my friends
• I chose “show header” because you can click and go to my FB page

7.   Hit:  "get code”

8.  Copy either "iframe" or "xfbml" code.  I used “xfbml” and it worked. 

      That’s all I know about this step. This is the only scary step.

9.   Go to your blog , sign in and click on "design". (I use the new Blogger   Platform, I am not  sure of the steps to get to “design” on the older format.

10.  You will see your boxes with "add a gadget", click on one.

11.   Click on "HTML/JavaScript,” (8 down from top)

12.  Title it (that’s up to you)

13.  Paste the content that you copied in the "content" section and save.

14   Check your blog and see where it ended up. Give it a few seconds to load

16.  You can go back in to design and move it around. You just drag that “widget” to wherever you want it.

see, easy peazy
