I'm Over the Moon!

If you own an online shop, you that feedback means everything. When you get generic but good feedback, you're happy. When you get kind, personalized, positive feedback, you're smiling from ear to ear. But, when one of your customers blogs about the items they received from your shop and how excited they are, you are over the moon...

...or at least hop around like a happy bunny!

This happened to me yesterday from one of my favorite customers named Amy who blogs over at My Little One-Room Schoolhouse . She ordered a few items from my shop during the 50% off sale (which ends tomorrow) and then asked for a custom made item. I've never done a custom order, but I was excited to get started. She wanted a chibi (mini) version of Lil' Red, the mascot for Nebraska football, as a pendant for her daughter. This is how it turned out:



She said her daughter was super excited and happy to receive it, which made me super excited and happy :) If you want to read the rest of her blog post, click on the following link.

I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did! And while you're there, show Amy some love. She is really humble, sweet, and friendly. It's been fun getting to know her through our little "talks" on Etsy. Lol! Let me know what you think about the post and her blog :)
