Help me in welcoming our Wednesday featured artist, Susan Templeton of Elephant Tales! Susan has agreed to give away one of her Around the block wood birth announcement keepsakes. To enter please go to her shop then come back here and comment telling us your favorite item listed. Winner will be chosen using random.org.
Introduction:
I am a stay at home mom of two boys (ages 8 and 11). They keep my extremely busy with school volunteering, room mom, and their many after school activities. I've been married for 18 years to a firefighter so there's never a dull moment.
How did you get your start on Etsy?
I was sitting at speech therapy for my youngest son and I was flipping through a magazine and saw a little story on marketplaces for handmade goods. That's how I found out about etsy and I couldn't have been more thrilled! Etsy provides a great opportunity for those of us that have zero marketing skills to get our products out into the marketplace. I love that Etsy provides a source of income that enables us to still spend great quality time with our families.
How did you choose your shop name?
I chose the shop name Elephant Tales because when my oldest son was little he was obsessed with elephants. I added the Tales part because every family has a such a great story to tell. My logo consists of four elephants. Each elephant represents a member of the family and yes, I'm the one with the pink toe nail polish!
What is a typical day for you?
A typical day for me would be getting the kids to school, volunteering in their classes, having lunch with them and then coming home to try and catch up on a million chores and Elephant Tales orders. Doesn't sound very exciting but I wouldn't trade it for the world!
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
If I could be anywhere in the world it would be on vacation with my family in Australia. I've just always wanted to go there! Wouldn't it be great to hold a koala?
What is your favorite bible verse?
My favorite bible verse is "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
What would be your favorite item to feature?
My favorite etsy item to feature is my wood block birth announcement. It is such a cute, inexpensive keepsake for parents and grandparents.
Where can we find you online?
You can link directly to my shop at www.elephanttalesusa.com as well as just searching shop names for elephanttales on Etsy. You can also search facebook for Elephant Tales.
