Just joined Zibbet today. Heard of them through an etsy forum.
Seems to be very similar to etsy, no listing fees and no commission, for now.
Another way to get the word out about ZigZags & Zebras!
See if it generates any more sales. The upside is that there aren't nearly as many people selling the same things as me.

Cranky's Bike Shop
Finished putting together my 'Cranky's Clips'.
Black ribbon lined alligator clip with bright yellow bicycles, an exclusive item to be sold in my brother's bike store http://www.crankys.ca/
Still trying....
...to set up a section on here with photos. Ideally I'd like to set up a list of all my clips since I have not listed everything on etsy. I don't know what I am missing and why I can't figure it out, Grrr. So many nice looking blogs out there, mine looks so plain.

Who I am & What I do
I just thought I'd let everyone know who I am & what I do.
ZigZags & Zebras came about a few months ago after I was laid off from my job of 13 years.
I worked as a product development manager with an electronic toy company. Developing products comes naturally to me and so I needed to find something that would fill the work void and would keep my mind and hands busy. After a visit from a good friend of we decided that there were too many high priced hairclips on the market locally. I made her a few clips and fell in love with them. I have so much fun making them and my girls have so much fun wearing them and telling their friends about them, they love to be involved. My little entrepreneurs jump for joy when an order comes in and they are quick to help me package up my sales and ship them off in the mail.
I still have lots to learn about etsy and blogging and wished I had more time to myself to learn the in's and out's of both.
I hope to post updates of how ZigZags & Zebras is growing and everyday life of juggling family, etsy, and hopefully my return to work.
If you are interested following along, I'd be happy to have you :)
