Bye Bye Chibi Lolita...

Hello everyone! Yes, I have completely changed my blog AGAIN. But I have a really valid reason for doing it this time, I promise.

Recently I've been worrying, stressing, and fighting with myself over my Etsy shop. I loved the items that are there, but they just don't seem like they fit together. You can't just throw a bunch of cute handmade items together and think they will eventually mesh together. So, I finally did what I started fretting over 2 months ago - changed the name of my Etsy shop ChibiLolita.

I love that name! It was the very first name I came up with when I decided to open a shop. But, I don't think it was the best name to pick. I love the Japanese culture and wanted to pay homage to it by naming my shop ChibiLolita, which means "small girl". In the end, I think this name hurt me since most of the shoppers on Etsy have no idea what ChibiLolita even means. 

As you guys know, lately I've been doing a lot of creating with polymer clay - it's my new "craft love". I've decided to dedicate my whole Etsy shop to my clay creations to create a cohesive atmosphere in my shop. You ready for the name? A GIRL AND HER CLAY! Pretty simple name, but it's easy to recognize, understand, remember, and from a glance you can tell what will be in my shop.

Since I changed the name of my Etsy shop, that meant I had to change my Facebook page, my twitter username and last but not least, my blog name. I had a blog previously on WordPress called "CrazyBeautifulUnique" where I just talked about whatever. I want to do that with this blog also. I'm not associating this blog with my Etsy shop like I did with "Chibi Lolita's All Kinds of Cute". This blog will be about me, my life, my crafts, my cooking, my stories, my whatever I want to talk about. That freedom feels so amazing!

I hope you guys will still follow me, leave comments, and have a good time while you're here. Let's continue to grow together :)

The Start of Something Cute!

Hello everyone! I'm new here to Blogger, but not blogging itself. I use to have a blog with another site, but I felt like the options were limited as to what I could do to make my blog stand out. I discovered Blogger a few weeks ago while reading other blogs and decided to give it a try. So, I hope that all of my followers from my previous blog (Crazy Beautiful Unique) will follow me here also along with new followers.

For those that are new followers, I'll tell you a little about myself and my blog...
- I have an Etsy store called ChibiLolita (hence the title of my blog) where I sell jewelry and felt creations that I make myself. If you want to take a gander, here's the link http://www.etsy.com/shop/ChibiLolita
- I like to talk about random things of my life. Whether it's funny, sad, shocking, etc, I'll share. I hope that you'll join in on the "conversations" as well
- My blog followers are very special to me. So sometimes I post coupon codes, promotions, and giveaways from my Etsy store that only they will know about. It's important to follow!
- Every Friday, I have a feature called "Who's That Seller?" where I talk about one of my favorite stores on Etsy. I post pictures of my favorite items, links to their store, and sometimes coupon codes offered from the seller for my blog followers.

I look forward to getting to know all of you as we share fun and cute things that we learn in this thing called life!
