Make It Mondays - Etsy School Week 1

Today I'm starting a new program to help me whip my Etsy shop into shape: Etsy School - February.
 
The Etsy UK Blog has a nice explanation in their post,
 
Basically, I'll be doing an intensive 4 week shop overhaul. Think of it as Spring Cleaning...
 
 
Week #1 Focus: Introductions and Shop Critiques
 
Hi, my name is Elizabeth & I'm in Florida
I prefer to go by: Mad
I make: Jewelry and sell supplies
I love: beauty and nature
When I am creating, I love to listen to: the TV
I could live on this food for the rest of my life: cheese
A funny fact that you light not know about me: I'm shy
Waffles or pancakes? pancakes with bananas
 
I will be critiquing other shops and doing a self-critique of my shop. There are already some things that I plan to do to get started:
  1. I am deactivating listings for all of my older jewelry and going over the pieces. I may make changes to them, take them apart and make a new piece, or simply re-take pictures with my newer camera.
  2. I am re-vamping my banner (again). Yes, I know that the one I have is relatively new, but I think that I need to change it...
  3. I am re-writing my About Page on MadScientistsDesigns
 
Whew! That's a lot for Week #1! Want to join me?
 
If you want to critique your own shop:
 
Wish me luck and, as always, suggestions
and encouragement are welcome.
 
xoxo ~Mad/Elizabeth
