My Etsy Shop is Open and Free Giveaway!!!!!

Hello a-llo,
I have finally opened my Etsy shop, SugarSkull Industries, where I'm selling a limited number of wreaths for the holidays and occasions like Birthdays, Housewarming, New Hire, Baby Showers, etc.  I gave the shop a subname, SugarSkullIndustries (W)Reef Shop, just to be funny but rest assured I'm only selling handmade wreaths.

Cute for boy's Baby Shower.

This is my Nacho Libre inspired Valentine's Day wreath.

I can do other states as well.

Take a look, take a browse, stay awhile.  Currently I have some Valentine's Day wreaths for sale but expect to see alternative takes on other holidays as well.  I have

I'll be working on a Santa-Fe themed, mini-series of wreaths next.  So check back from time to time.

Oh and let me know if you'd like a free sample wreath to display and get me some business in other parts of the US and Canada!  Just leave a comment explaining what you'd like on your wreath and why.  I'll the pick the one that gets my creative juices flowing the most and privately contact you about a shipping address which I'll send free of charge.

Later my ninjas and wish me luck in the Etsy biz,
Margaret
