In Case You Didn't Know: How To Get Your Treasury Onto Your Blogs

Contributed by Melissa Kojima --- Artist in LA LA Land

Yeah, sometimes I'm a bit slow.  So in case I'm not the only one, I thought I'd share this great FREE tool to help you share treasuries that you've made or that you're featured in. It's on Craft Cult.  You just add your username and find either all the treasuries you've made or the treasuries you've been featured in. You can make a widget with it, grab the code and share it on your blogs or other websites.  It's so easy that I'm  glad I finally found it.  It also has many other useful tools to help you with your Esty shop.  Check it out if you haven't already.  You'll be seeing me use it more on this blog.

Treasury Challenge- Who Won September and How you Can Win in October

The first California Crafters Club of Etsy Treasury Challenge for September kicked us off in high gear. We had all kinds of treasuries on the theme of "Halloween". Some of us went for the cute and autumnal themes, some of us kept it classy and elegant and others went for dark and "Spoooooooky"....like our stunning, winning treasury from SandySimone!



Our runners-up had some gorgeous treasuries too...take a peek and see if you can't find something to liven up your Halloween. DuettaDesigns offered up "Night of The Raven", an elegant and dark treasury. PuppyLovePrincess gave us party-ready goodies in her "Ghostly Gala" treasury.

October has us getting ready for Autumn and our theme is a super hot trend on etsy right now: Autumn Weddings! Come read the official Entry thread for all the details. Treasuries must be made Thursday 10/6/11 - Thursday 10/13/11. So get out there and make a beautiful treasury fitting the theme, use four members of the CCCoE team and an item from our September winner SandySimone, tag it with "3coe2" and then post a link to your treasury in this thread. Be sure to spread it across the social network...Twitter, Facebook, blogs, Pinterest, Kaboodle...whatever your favorite spot on the web is.

Each treasury must feature an item from last months winner....SandySimone (click her name to go to her shop). She has some real beauties to choose from ...like these lush, gorgeous carnelian earrings....perfect for autumn:

 Or how about some adorable stacking rings?
