Let's Hear Your Voice! SF Etsy Team-wide Survey is Live

Our members and fans have been noticing how many fantastic events the SF Etsy team has been hosting and this survey is a chance to give your input for what comes next in a big way. The SF Etsy Leadership Team and volunteers have an SF Etsy exclusive Holiday Boot Camp series, online and offline promotion opportunities and plenty of get-togethers for fun and networking coming up and we'd love to hear from you!
The survey is powered by google and will work best when you are at a desktop or laptop computer (not most mobile devices) and should take you less than 30 minutes. We'll ask you about your shop, online experience with Etsy, and how we can help you succeed in your own way.  Thanks for contributing!  The more we hear from you, the better team we'll be ~ easy, right?

As a thank you for participating, our fantastic leadership team will be giving prizes to a lucky few.

This opportunity is for current SF Etsy team members.
Please submit your survey by August 31st to be in the prize drawing!

What's New with I Heart Art: SF - Leadership Council Call!

I Heart Art: SF wants YOU!

We'd LOVE to have you!

That's right, folks! We all know that Rome wasn't built in a day! We need lots of help to get I Heart Art: San Francisco up & running like we'd all like to see it run. That's where YOU come in!

In the other incarnations of I Heart Art, there have been Leadership Councils to give direction to how the initiative was going to impact their cities. We'd like to form a Leadership Council of our very own in San Francisco. But first we'd like to know a little more about you!

If you're interested in being part of the I Heart Art: San Francisco Leadership Council, please fill out this form by Monday, May 1st, 2011. Tammy & I will be taking a week to review the applications & will get back to you all with our newly-formed Leadership Council by the following Monday, May 8th!

Would you like to help out & support I Heart Art: SF in another way? We're always looking for volunteers! We'd love to hear from you. You can email us with your ideas &/or sign up for our newsletter to get started!

What's New with I Heart Art: SF - CRAFT PARTY!!

Exciting event happening in a town near you - SAN FRANCISCO!

Ever feel like you'd like to craft with more company than your cat? I know I do! Well, try 15,000 more people! Julie from Etsy says:

"Last year, over 5,000 people participated in over 500 meetups from Dallas to Romania, and this year our goal is for over 15,000 people to share in the spirit of Craft Party. Since we can't do this without you, we're calling on your help to mobilize in your local community."

Come and join Etsy in their 2011 version of Craft Party - and make it extra special because it's the I Heart Art: San Francisco KICK-OFF EVENT!

You heard right! We here at I Heart Art: San Francisco have been in cahoots with Vanessa at Etsy for a while now, talking about what a wonderful opportunity this is to get the Bay Area together for some good ol' crafty fun.

While right now Tammy & I are working on scouting an event big enough for our Craft Party, we'd love to extend an invitation to ALL of the SF Etsy Team & their friends to sign up to come & craft with us on June 10th!
