¡aye, querida! and a giveaway


I love the Spanish word "querida." I heard it and used it a million times while on my mission in Argentina, both as a term of endearment and sarcastically. If you know me, then you know that I usually used it sarcastically.

Anyway, this phrase "¡Aye, querida!" is the name of my Etsy shop. That's right! MY VERY OWN ETSY SHOP! The name doesn't have anything to do with anything I'm making/selling. I just like it.
Cute cards, huh?

My web designer of a husband designed me a logo late last night after a long day at work. I really love him for doing that, and I really like the logo, but he's not in love with it. So it might change because I trust him when it comes to that kind of design stuff. So, don't get used to it.

The issues with my back from the past month have pretty much disabled me from sewing. So, I will hopefully be sewing a lot more this week and listing more skirts made with yummy fabric in the shop too.

Right now, I have about a gajillion valentine tags. They are left over from last year and are basically on clearance since Valentine's Day is like four days away. If you know me and live nearby and want to buy one then just "convo me"—that's an Etsy term meaning email using Etsy's system. I'm already becoming such an Etsian! Anyway, I'll waive the shipping, and you can pick it up.

The last announcement I have is that I'm doing a GIVEAWAY! It will be for two sets of tags.

1. These brown and pink heart tags are the first set. You can use them for Valentine's Day, on a gift any other day of the year, or for your lover. You will win a pack of eight of these little puppies—The tags, not the candy hearts. Can you imagine if it was for eight candy hearts? Silly.

2. These birthday/gift tags will be the second set that you may win. I, personally, am loving these right now. The colors make me think of summer and that makes me feel so happy.
And I love this image so much that it makes me drool!

To enter the giveaway, leave a comment here on this post by Thursday at 8pm MST when I will randomly pick and announce a winner. I don't think I have too many readers, so please spread the word!

Muchas gracias mis queridas, y besos.

This is great! Congratulations! I'm excited to see your shop, and shop! So I guess I'll figure out how to get there by "nosing around" as my hubby would say. What a great endeavor!!

I'm leaving a comment, but I'll understand if my "relationship" to the shopkeeper/shameless promoter makes me ineligible to win.

Nice logo, by the way.
