I like to go into all our websites we have listed make sure the links are good website have not closed etc.. We have found that banners are nice but the text is much better with search engines so we have changed some of our packages due to this reason. What is much better is rich in text and having good keywords in your text with exchanged links with your website. So we are offering just banners or just text and combo pak with both banner and text in the CPV.<br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>#1 Today we updated and cleaned up all our links under all the categories fixing all the text with same font and size. </div><br /><div>#2 We removed a few categories Pottery, Baskets, and Craft Supplies we have had these areas listed for over a year now and no one has seemed to need these areas to list under even for free when we offered. If you need a category we do not have showing please email us a request we would be happy to add this for your website. </div><br /><div>#3 Next phase will be going into all categories and placing a text link with all our ads who have done Banner and Text we wish to make our pages as friendly to search engines so it help everyone who has advertised with us under our categories. </div><br /><div>#4 in the next few weeks we will be updating our Members Directory.

My name is Carly Sabins. I am a stay at home mother of two beautiful daughters, Tess& Riley. I have an awesome husband named Ben. We have been married for almost 11 years. I have three black Miniature Schnauzers, Hansel, Heidi, and Fritz. I live in the small town of Bryan, Ohio. Let me tell you how I got started sewing. My Grandmother taught me to sew when I was 7 years old. After I got married my husband bought me my first sewing machine. I began making my own curtains and slipcovers for my furniture. After my daughters were born I started making clothes for them. One of the first items I made were flower girl dresses for each of my daughters. I made them out of satin and since I could not read a traditional pattern I had to create my own pattern. It was pretty tricky! Let's just say through a few tears, (mine and my daughters), much blood, (mine), and a lot of sweat (did I mention it was my brothers wedding?), the dresses turned out great. After that I began to make quilts. My first quilt I made I gave to my Grandmother. That is when my fabric hoarding insanity began! If I liked it, I bought it! I still make quilts but I like to tinker with new projects. A few years ago I took a purse making class at a local fabric shop. It was so much fun! I love to combine different fabrics and textures. This led to me making purses for most of my family. In the Spring of 2007, I went purse shopping for something to match some of my new clothes and I could not find anything that I liked or was my style. So, I bought more fabric and made a few purses of my own. I showed them to my family and a few friends and they loved them! So...I made some more! Since I am a purse junkie now, I HAVE to keep making them! And since I cannot possibly carry all the ones that I design I have to share them with the world. I am having so much fun creating my own patterns and letting the fabric tell me which pattern it should be! I hope to keep creating purses as long as I can! </div><div align="center"><span style="color:#333399;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</span><br /> Now isn't that a great story thank you so much Carly for sharing with us. I also have to add I own one of her OOAK Hand Bags and just Love it!!</div><div align="center"><br /> </div><div align="center"></div>Crafters Peddlers Villagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00759988380941014075noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4105239402290471170.post-35285523402861690462008-05-14T12:36:00.000-07:002008-05-14T12:45:25.624-07:00April and May new members !!Drop by and visit our newly listed websites in the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Crafters</span> Peddler Village ( <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">CPV</span> ) here is just a few listed below but we have much more listed under all our <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">categories</span> !!!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cherishedtemplates.com/">Cherished Templates</a> , <a href="http://www.bathandbodybliss.com/">Bath Body & Bliss</a> , <a href="http://www.artsycraftsyfolks.com/">Artsy Crafty Folks</a> , <a href="http://www.logcabincrafters.etsy.com/">Log Cabin <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Crafters</span></a> , <a href="http://www.mylilcraftbarn.com/">My <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">LiL</span> Craft Barn</a> , <a href="http://www.limestonehillprimitives.com/">Limestone Hill Primitives</a> , <a href="http://www.countryprimitivesneedleworks.com/">Country Primitives Needle Works</a> , <a href="http://www.thegingerbreadbarn.com/">The Gingerbread Barn</a>Crafters Peddlers Villagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00759988380941014075noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4105239402290471170.post-34845832355315995122008-05-14T12:32:00.000-07:002008-05-14T12:36:38.128-07:00New Staff MemberWelcome aboard our "New Staff Memeber" newsletter editor Talena Bacon of Sew Cute Dolls & More.

I began making primitives in 2002<br /><br /><strong><em><span style="color:#660000;">How long have you been crafting and what kind of crafty items do you make?</span></em></strong> I've always crafted. My Dad gave me a chain stitch sewing machine when I was 4. I started sewing then. By the time I was 8, I'd crocheted my first rag rug, hand pieced my first quilt top, tied a quilt with my mother's help and my Daddy got me a treadle sewing machinefor my birthday and Mom helped me make my first blouse..... I've also made wooden benches, shelves and decorative items, knitted sweaters, crocheted doilies and afgans, upholstered chairs, and finished an attic bedroom by myself,<br /><br /><strong><em><span style="color:#660000;">Who inspired you to start crafting and how old were you?</span></em></strong> My mother believed idle children go in trouble so she kept us busy. There was never a time when I didn't do some sort of crafting.<br /><br /><strong><em><span style="color:#660000;">Do you have formal training?</span></em></strong> Not exactly. I learned initially from watching my mom. I joined 4-H where I took up dressmaking, and I took every home economics course offered in high school. Beyond those--I've learned from books and by trial and error.<br /><br /><strong><em><span style="color:#660000;">What's the best part of having your own business?</span></em></strong> The freedom to choose my work hours even though there are far more of them than in a job away from home.<br /><br /><strong><em><span style="color:#660000;">Advice for someone trying to build their own business:</span></em></strong> Believe in yourself and believe in your dreams. If you love what you do and do what you love, everything else works out.<br /><br /><strong><em><span style="color:#660000;">What are your future goals for your business?</span></em></strong> I want to add lots more finished dolls as well as lots more patterns. I expect to keep growing.<br /><br /><strong><em><span style="color:#660000;">What do you make/what’s your craft of choice?</span></em></strong> I make a huge variety of primitive and folk art dolls, critters, stitcheries and design patterns so others can make dolls similar to mine. Primitive and folk art dolls are my favorite. There are endless possiblilities of styles, sizes, shapes and colors; and that stimulates my imagination.<br /><br /><strong><em><span style="color:#660000;">How did you get started with your craft?</span></em></strong> Oh wow--when I started sewing, I made clothing for my dolls. When I was 7 I got a book at school with instructions for a stuffed dog made from a sock. My mother wasn't happy that I used one of Dad's socks but it turned out really well. In 1980 when a friend suggested I do a craft show, dolls seemed like something not many people would make themselves so that's where I started..<br /><br /><strong><em><span style="color:#660000;">What inspires you?</span></em></strong> Everything.<br /><br /><strong><em><span style="color:#660000;">What’s been the most rewarding aspect of your craft?</span></em></strong> I love to make people smile and I know my dolls do that!<br /><br /><strong><em><span style="color:#660000;">Are there any trends in crafting you've been noticing lately?</span></em></strong> Scrapbooking but I prefer to work with fibers. Do you have a favorite? My sewing<br /><strong><em><br /><span style="color:#660000;">When do you find the time to craft?</span></em></strong> Always--I get up between 4:30 and 6:00 AM and start sewing before breakfast. I sew most of the day and I sew in the evenings after supper. Did I mention I love to sew?<br /><br /><strong><em><span style="color:#660000;">What advice would you give to newbies who want to start their own craft business?</span></em></strong> Believe in yourself. And learn to do the difficult things yourself...you'll be so proud of your accomplishment. Above all, take pride in what you do!Crafters Peddlers Villagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00759988380941014075noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4105239402290471170.post-54121435310362545912008-01-03T17:47:00.000-08:002008-01-03T18:05:18.767-08:00<div align="center"><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#990000;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>January updates for the new year.</strong></span> </span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#990000;">We have just added new ad space under each category on top of each page you can pick 3 categories of your choice for $10.00 for 3 months.

We really enjoyed getting to know all about her. Thank you Robin.<br /><br /><strong>How long have you been crafting and what kind of crafty items do you make?</strong><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff9900;"><span style="color:#ff6600;">I have been crafting for many years. As far back as I can remember<br />my sisters and I were always putting something together. Today. I<br />do alot of sewing and we dip our silicone bulbs and strands.</span><br /></span><br /><strong>What is your favorite Medium when crafting?</strong><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff6600;">I do alot of sewing and painting on fabric. I think sewing has to be my favorite thing to do. It's so fun to see what comes out of a bolt of muslin.<br /></span><br /><strong>Who inspired you to start crafting and how old where you?</strong><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color:#ff6600;">I would have to say my mother an my grandmother. My mother was always sewing us clothes or creating lil crafts for us to play with. My grandmother love to paint..When she wanted to change her decor, she would simply paint everything instead of buying new...lol</span><br /></span><br /><strong>Name a few of your favorite Artist?</strong><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff6600;">A few of my favorite artists are...Tonya of Back Porch Pickins,<br />Maureen of Sweet Meadows Farm & Karen of RkCreations. All 3 of<br />these ladies are extremely talented and often inspire me to create<br />and broaden my horizons.<br /></span><br /><strong>What are a few of your favorite places to visit and shop online?</strong><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff6600;">This is such an easy question. I visit PrimMart & Ebay. Several times a day...lol And then various craft sites.<br /></span><br /><strong>What is your favorite Color?</strong><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff6600;">Another easy question...butter yellow. I have loved this color since I was a child.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Interviewed by Judy ~Owner of </span><a href="http://www.crafterspeddlervillage.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">CPV</span></a> <span style="font-size:78%;">8/07</span>Crafters Peddlers Villagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00759988380941014075noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4105239402290471170.post-35858975221455600232007-09-12T09:24:00.000-07:002007-09-12T09:35:50.716-07:00Marketing Your WebsiteMarketing Your Website<br /><br />How to market your website these days can be very hard with all the new search engine rules. Where years ago you would just fill out a form in all these places and boom within a few weeks your site would be in the search engines. It now takes a lot of work and sometimes it can put a big dent in your pocketbook.<br />Here are a few ways to market your website for <strong>FREE</strong> and <strong>PAY</strong> it does take a lot of time on your part to do this but it does help to get your site known.<br /><strong>FREE Marketing ....<br /></strong><br /><strong>A )</strong> Visit websites and post in their guest books leave your website name or URL to your site.<br /><strong>B )</strong> Join Arts and Crafts related forums and be active in these forums so people can get to know you and about your website and product.<br /><strong>C )</strong> Banner exchange with website is great but a short text description about your site in rich text is much better.<br /><strong>D )</strong> Some forums offer "Prim Packs" this is were craft sites snail mail each other with small samples of product with a business card or flyer's with monthly specials. The other person then mails these out with every order they receive and you would do the same for them with their Prim Pack.<br /><strong>E )</strong> You can find self submit areas on the net for free where you would enter all your info once your site is open and has keywords and meta tags. You would then go down the list they offer and hand type all your site info and submit to smaller search engines, directories, FFA's. This could take hours of work and a very long time in some places to have your site added.<br /><strong>F )</strong> Join as many Top 100 sites or Webrings<br /><strong>G )</strong> Do weekly or monthly news letters with updates about your website.<br /><strong>H )</strong> Bloging with your website with craft related articles<br /><br /><strong>Marketing that cost money....</strong><br /><br /><strong>A )</strong> Join places like <a href="http://www.crafterspeddlervillage.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.Crafterspeddlervillage.com</a> who dedicate their website in advertising in arts-n-crafts and wham website all over the internet. They are set up to help your site get known through out the internet.<br /><strong>B )</strong> Join forums who offer advertising with rotating banners on there forum pages such as <a href="http://www.primmart.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.primmart.com</a><br /><strong>C )</strong> Advertise with talk radio channels on the internet such as <a href="http://www.primtalkradio.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.primtalkradio.com</a><br /><strong>D )</strong> Join an Co-Op Ad with a group of sites related to arts and crafts in major magazines.<br /><strong>E )</strong> Join news letters who offer advertising to add your banner or text to advertise your site.<br /><strong>F )</strong> Buy a promotion package from places like <a href="http://www.craftsitemedic.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.craftsitemedic.com</a> they focus totally on craft related sites with submitting in search engines.<br /><strong>G )</strong> Pay larger search engines per click advertising.<br /><strong>H )</strong> Pay to place an Ad in craft related magazines.<br /><strong>I )</strong> Always own your Domain this is very importune your domain will be picked up easier with search engines instead of having a sub-domain name.<br /><strong>J )</strong> Join Internet Craft Shows that advertise a lot about the craft shows they hold.<br /><br />All of these suggestions we have made does not guarantee that your site will be on page 1 of Google or Yahoo but these are ways to help bring in more traffic , possible sales and getting your website on search engines. You need to make a few days a month on just doing some of these suggestions to better your website in being in more traffic.<br />I hate to say this but when you open your website your site is 1 in a few thousand out there selling the same product doing the same crafting related items in the internet. It is up to you on how much time you want to spend submitting or paying for advertising with your site. It can take 3 months, 6 months or even a year even before you receive any sales from your site. But the more you get your website name out there the higher traffic you will have which means good chance you will have sales from your website.Crafters Peddlers Villagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00759988380941014075noreply@blogger.com0
