SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER

September is here...which means fall is right around the corner!  Kids are back in school and "normal" has returned for most of us.


1) TEAM REQUIREMENTS: Keep in mind that we have a team requirement.  Each member is required to have at least 3 polymer clay items in your store at all times.  We have recently removed many team members stores who do not meet the qualifications.  I have also been emailing those of you who no longer meet these requirements.  Please be sure you are up to date on your store listings.  Please do NOT forget our team rules, we want everyone to be able to participate, but you must meet the Team requirement. While we would like our team to be a vibrant and happy place to be, we are also asking that each team member go by the rules we have established. If you have been removed from the team, feel free to rejoin once you comply with the team rules. Once you have corrected your store to fit in with our requirements, you can reapply and rejoin the team and we will welcome you back with open arms!
2) CHALLENGE YOURSELF: Our theme this month is another two part theme: ghosts and characters dressed as something else (for example a bunny dressed as a turtle).
3) LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR! You will see this on our team discussion page. It is your opportunity to interact with other team members. We ask that you would pick your favorite item from the store listed ABOVE you. You can participate as often as you want in this discussion.
4) TREASURY: Create a treasury with any theme you choose using at least 12 PCETeam members.You MUST include the team tag "pceteam" on the treasury. You can use non-team members, but we ask that the entire treasury be polymer clay since we are promoting our art
5) HAPPY CLAYING: If you're not having a good time while playing/designing with clay, then why do it?


DO NOT FORGET TO CHECK THE SEPTEMBER MERCHANDISING DESK FROM ETSY. Many of us do not pay attention to this little newsletter that Etsy puts out. Please take time to read this most valuable information.  If you follow this guide your store gets high ratings, sales, and even a chance to make it to Etsy's coveted Front Page. Don't miss out, go and read up on this month's trends.


NEW BLOGGER:  We would like to welcome Sandy Prenzi as a blog writer to our team.  Thank you Sandy for writing and helping our blog stay up to date.


POSITION STILL AVAILABLE:
***WE ARE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER BLOGGER! If you LOVE to work on blogs and are familiar with blogger (blogspot.com), we need some help. Ideally if we can get enough writers, we'd like to have each person only be responsible for one blog day per week. If you are interested in this, please convo the Team Captain (toystorynutty).

Other ways to interact during your month off:

1) Put together a treasury

2) Feature another team member on your blog

3) Update your store & listings and share it with us

To all team members, GOOD LUCK!
Please remember, these additional challenges are NOT required for membership in the team.
