You Know You're Addicted to Etsy When.....

* "Nobody in the family gets any food or clean clothes!"

* "Etsy is the first thing you run to in the moring and the last thing you see at night . . ."

* "OK this is a true story, last week I threw my back out and was in bed flat on my back for 2 days. It hurt to even breath. My husband asked me if there was anything he could get me and with so much agony in my voice I said just my laptop. He rolled his eyes and said you have issues!!"

* "Yes, my home page is etsy.com. ALso, I have dreams about etsy regularly! One dream was you could see who was looking at your items. I've had other dreams and awoke thinking, did that really happen?"

"You know you're addicted when you have nightmares that you have shipped the wrong items to folks, only to wake up in the middle of the night and check your inventory!lol: )"

MY FAVORITE:

"When your in church the whole time you pray that by the time you get home you've made a sale."

....stay tuned for more! Post on the thread HERE

Or...
When you are on your vacation and take NOT ONLY your lap top also a big part of your inventory to keep creating and selling...

I had trouble with my computer and worked like heck to get it fixed; I even called my IPS, thinking maybe it was their fault. Well, I got it resolved and got back online. Luckily I had a laptop, but my etsy stuff wasn't on there, so I sat dejected looking at the my non-etsy screen on my laptop. I was so relaxed when I got myself back online!!; ▶ Reply to This
