Happy, Happy Birthday, KCEtsy!

This week marks our 2nd birthday and Tuesday night we celebrated with a team meet and greet, gift exchange and of course, cupcakes! We had a wonderful time sharing ideas, techniques and favorite finds, brainstorming and planning for future team events, and finally putting faces with shops and online avatars. What a talented and friendly group of dedicated artists and artisans!

Our team member gift exchange was super fun. Everyone brought a little goodie - a sample if you will - from their shop, we swapped gifts and had a little show and tell. When shopping online you sometimes wonder if what you see is what you get. This was one of the first times many of us had been able to to see, touch, admire, inspect, and in somecases smell what up until now we've only seen online ... I'm here to tell you with these shops, what you get is even better than what you see. No one was disappointed!

Here are the contributions:
