Etsy Sale Prep & Jury Duty

As a citizen of this great nation, my civic duty was put to the test in the form of jury duty. I received my little yellow notice card last week. This was my first jury duty selection and of all the times to get called in for jury duty, it had to be this week.

I don't necessarily mind jury duty but when I have a never ending to do list and huge upcoming sale to prepare for, needless to say, I was not thrilled about this. I held out hope to the last minute that the case I was called for would be cancelled/postponed. Unfortunately, my wish was not granted and I had to report to the court house at 8:45 a.m.

As I sat there in the juror room waiting to be called into the courtroom for questioning, my entire focus was on the things that I need to get done. Once inside the courtroom, I still had an extremely hard time focusing on the issue at hand. Once the waiting, questioning, and more waiting were over, I was finally excused as I was not the right juror for this case. I raced to my car and hopped in... I didn't care if it was a million degrees in my car that I inconveniently parked right in the sun, I was on my way home to start my to-do list for the day. After the 10 minute drive home, I arrived at exactly 11:59 a.m.

I immediately began work on the upcoming Etsy "Christmas in July" Sale. For those that have not seen the abundant amount of other blog posts, forum announcements, etc.; the "Christmas in July" sale is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) semi-organized sale on Etsy. The official dates of the sale are July 8th through July 23rd. However, some sellers are running sales for the whole month of July or other selected dates and some have chosen not to participate at all. I, myself, will hold my shop sale from July 10th through July 31st. These sales include a certain percentage off, free shipping, and more. My shop is offering 15% off the entire stock and custom orders, plus free shipping on purchases of $50.00 or more!!

While the sale is called "Christmas in July" it is not only sales on Christmas themed items or just for Christmas shopping. So whatever your religion or holiday (or lack thereof) you're sure to find great deals for all occasions or just a little something special for yourself. ;)

Visit my shop, visit Etsy, and save big. Search "ChristmasinJuly" or "CIJ" to find items that are on sale and participating shops.

Happy Shopping!!
