It seems that I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Today I discovered a boo-boo and I feel like a moron.
A friend told me they couldn't find my etsy store so I tried to search it and I couldn't find it by search either. Once I got there I realized that apparently I didn't have an actual Shop name but it was using my username. I felt slightly stupid and quickly created my Shop name.
BUT then I looked at my shop banner a little closer and.........my banner was spelled wrong. Wrong!! So for 2 years the banner of my store was spelled wrong. And the worst part is that none of you told me! I mean, you didn't have to say Hey Kim, you're an idiot". But a quiet little Psst, check your banner would have been OK.
And if you are wondering, it's still wrong. I can't remember how I created that banner and naturally don't have the original file to edit and quite frankly, I'm too annoyed and frustrated to tackle it tonight. This will be a project for another day. Arrgh STUPID
Next time, just whisper quietly in my ear, OK? ;)
LOL! Oh no! Truth be told, I hardly ever look at the banners... So I never noticed! They've changed so much stuff on Etsy with all the usernames vs shop names, it's a little confusing right now!
ReplyDeleteLOL it is ok.
ReplyDeleteDon't be too hard on yourself, Kim! Your work is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI myself am not a very observant person. I mean there could be something literally right in front of me and I won't see it. Sometimes when I do notice something, I'll ask somebody, "How long has that been there?" And their like, "Forever!"
ReplyDeleteHey, this is the woman who stamped a necklace, had it forever and never figured out that addict had 2 d's ~ and I'm a good speller...lol! **it happens :)

ReplyDeleteHa, sounds like the stuff I do. Picmonkey will help you create a new one. :)

I just thought you were doing it on purpose. You know how people get creative with names?
ReplyDeleteI have to make a banner soon too. I need to get with it.
Me too, not the sharpest knife in the drawer, :) think it the hair color doesn't help either, Happy Long Weekend, Francine.
ReplyDeleteHowdy, just popped in to see how you were doing. I haven't been around much for a long time. Still trying to get internet at home so I don't have to go to the library to use it.
ReplyDeleteWe have moved to Washington state to try to help my mom and sis who have health troubles. Everything is crazy.
I miss all my bloggy friends. :(
I hope you are doing well. Have a great day. Take care Janet W ((hugs))
Oops, I must have forgot to push publish last evening as my comment isn't here. I was so dog tired yesterday.
ReplyDeleteBasically my comment said to be gentle on yourself and not to worry about a tiny typo. We all make typos, especially me. I don't think that it matters at all since the buyers are buying your rugs left and right. It hasn't affected your bottom line.
Hugs,

you are not alone! I did the same thing and then when I went back to fix it, months later, someone else had taken the name I originally wanted to use. dang.
