Daily Listing Challenge and Group Promotion Thread December 2024 šŸŽ„

Welcome to the December 2024 Challenge Thread

Iā€™m Sue from @SueTrevor and I will be hosting the December thread : :christmas_tree:

The rules are outlined below, but the thread regulars will help you with any difficulties - just ask!

  • Share your item for the day on this thread. To do this choose your item from your shop, copy the URL at the top of the page, come onto this thread and hit the blue reply button at the very bottom of the page bottom then add some text and paste your link (Items can be a new listing or an existing/re-list, we donā€™t mind as long as itā€™s a different item each day)
  • Click on all of the links for everone elses items to take you to their shop and hit the :heart: - this gives the item a brief appearance on the front page - so more chance of getting seen ( this is the main rule for joining in :slight_smile: ) there is a picture of what to do below.
  • You must be prepared to join in regularly throughout the month - missing the odd day is fine and of course joining in for part month is fine also, we understand not everyone can be here every single day, but please do not ā€˜post and runā€™ .
  • If you can promote others as well e.g. tweet, re-tweet or pin (this doesnā€™t have to be everyone on the thread just pick a few a day if you can) or create a #FolksyFriday collage
  • Let me know when you have a Folksy sale, so we can celebrate and happy dance with you.

Went to pay my Folksy bill and Apple insisted I change my password, have 31 to look through. This is new software loaded last week. Be warned they are getting tough with security think it was 18 something.

Morning all, looking forward to joining in again.
Iā€™m awake far too early in a very comfy room above a pub in Chagford Devon, ready for the final day of Wonderworks craft fair.
So thought I would pop in now to say hello, although my shop will be closed until this evening.
Hope you all have a great month for sales.

Morning all. Too dark to see what the weather is doing this morning.
Up early as grocery delivery due just before 7.00.
Met up with friends yesterday for coffee and a good natter and laugh.
A relist today as Iā€™m trying to get some items ready for a craft fair on Saturday.

Good morning and a pinch and punch - cant believe the end of the year is upon us, seems like yesterday I was packing my bags for Australia.
Had a lovely day yesterday with my friend at Stourhead - past its best with all the autumn colours now gone but still a lovely place to walk.
Not sure Iā€™m going to survive long on the thread with new listings. During a wander into town yesterday morning I suddenly came up with the idea of kinitting some jumpers for my two great nephews rather than inundating them with toys, so I now have a task ahead of me to get them done in time (luckily they are still babies!!)
Today I have been invited to join my friend (same one as yesterday) at Sherborne market but the weather doesnt look great and I have got the gallery accounts to do so might give that one a miss.

So here is todays listing

Morning Everyone,

Happy Dec 1st.
Thanks Mel @aquilacrafts for your Nov support :heart_eyes:
:wave: Deborah @DeborahJonesJewellery ā€˜your backā€™ :grinning: hope todays fair is sucessful, was thinking of you in that weather in a yurt last week :astonished:
Hope everyone has a great Sunday.

Questionsā€¦
Whatā€™s a 365er?
If I am reposting an item here that I already have done but it is still in my shop is it a relist or a re-pin?

Youā€™ve seen this before-

Good morning everyone.

Thank you Sue @SueTrevor for taking the sleigh reigns this month.

Congratulations Caroline on the first sale of the month :tada:.

Hi Deborah @DeborahJonesJewellery x

Nic @NicHarman, everyone on the forum is a 365er as weā€™re here 365 days of the year :joy:. I donā€™t know the answer to your other question. I think a relist is something that was going to expire and then you relist it but not sure what a repin is?

Good morning everyone. Itā€™s been a while. Sorted my photo out but forgot to copy the link so had to go back to my shop :joy: it will be nice to catch up with everyone.
Thank you for running the thread Sue @SueTrevor :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Morning all and happy December. Iā€™m joining in for this week but then shutting my shop on the 9th and sending my sewing machine for a repair and service. Thanks @SueTrevor for being mum.
Yesterdayā€™s fair was really good. In the evening I hid from sale the things Iā€™d sold and took my shop out of holiday mode, only to find the announcement on my front page ā€œThis shop is emptyā€!
Fortunately itā€™s sorted itself out overnight.
A couple of gift bags from me today.

Nic @NicHarman - if I remember correctly this thread was originally set up in January and ran for the whole year, hence how we got the name 365ā€™ers. I think something changed in the forum rules as to how many posts a thread could have/how long it could run for so it was changed to a monthly challenge.
A relist is something we have shared on the forum before but that we have relisted in our shops and a repin is something to do with pinning items to Pinterest (but donā€™t ask me what!!)
