Alberta Street Team member Baloo has created an absolutely magical webpage with Etsy minis from every Team member! It makes browsing through these gorgeous Alberta shops easy and fun. She's even coded it to display our Etsy minis randomly, so everyone gets a chance to be at the top. :)
I've added a link to the page on our blog here under "View all of our shops at a glance!" and will be submitting it to the Etsy Team admin so that they can add the link to our official Etsy team page.
Feel free to add it to your blog, webpage, Facebook or MySpace profiles, or Etsy shop. :)
A big thank you to Baloo for her innovative cleverness!

Finally Hit 1000!!!
Good afternoon everyone. I just wanted to share some exciting news from the Crimson Orchid clan. This week we officially hit our 1,000th sale on Etsy and are so thrilled about this. We have beenon Etsy since December 2006 but didn't really get things off the ground until around February 2007. Well, a year and a half later, we are still around and have done better than we could have ever imagined. We can't wait to hit the 2,000 mark next and are excited to share it all with you on the Alberta Street Team!

Street Team Update
Hello, everyone!
Just a quick note to let you all know that Etsy Teams has our Alberta page up. :) There's a bit of a mix-up with our profile and joining info, so I've emailed them about that.
Also, we've had a few more people sign up since I sent in the original Team form, so I've submitted their names for inclusion as well. I have updated the members list here on the blog so it's current with everyone who has joined, even those whose names are not yet on the Etsy page. :) If you would like a change made to your name (capitalization, etc), please let me know, it's an easy fix.
You may notice that the blog looks a bit different. I gave it an overhaul and streamlined the information. All of the archived posts from the old team are still here for anyone interested in perusing them. :)
If you'd like to subscribe to this blog, I've added that element. Just scroll down, it's on the right hand side. As I understand it, that particular feature allows you to connect this blog to a variety of blog management pages. For those of you who don't have a blog management page, I've found a feature in the admin section that allows me to add email addresses to be notified when a new post is published. However, it has a limit of 10 email addresses, so anyone who can use the blog management subscription method, please do. :)
I'll be communicating with you all via email as soon as I have everyone's email address, which should be fairly soon. However, I imagine that this blog could become pretty active, so you may want to check in once in a while. :) At least one team member has expressed an interest in being able to contribute to the blog, so we can certainly sign in anyone who would like to be able to post here. It would be great for showcasing Treasuries, notifying each other of sales we're having (perhaps even sales exclusive to Team members?), a story you'd like to share or a piece of advice, etc. So if you'd like to be added as a contributor, please let me know.
Okay, that's all I can think of for now! I can't wait to get this Team really going! :)

Hello, fellow Alberta Etsy sellers! :)
Apparently the old Alberta Street Team became defunct not long ago. Not knowing that one even existed, I recently began to recruit Albertans to join a new one. This Team and blog were brought to my attention, so I contacted Katelyn and she is thrilled that I'm 'reviving' the Alberta Team. She gave me the information for this blog so that we can continue to use it. :)
If you were a member and would like to rejoin, please see this thread I started in the Etsy forums. We will be updating the member list with current members only to keep things nice and tidy.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me directly. I'm GenuineArticle at Etsy. :)

Hello EtsyAlbertians and all other readers!
I need to apologize for not posting much in the past few months. I have no excuse other than I was busy and I apologize for leaving you hanging! Hopefully I will be able to make more entries from now on.
Thank you Keri for making contributions to the blog while I took my leave! I really do appreciate it as I'm sure our readers do as well. Like usual, your posts have been filled with helpful tips and it's always great to read your entries!
We have several new members that I will be adding to our list so remember to check out their stores and maybe drop a word of encouragement their way.
Thank you for your patience with me, I really do appreciate it!
