I have some big new changes to announce.
Steph (PandaCub), who has been leading SAS since Anna (TheHouseofMouse) has stepped down as Captain, is in need of stepping down from the Captain's duties as well. She will be staying on as a leader in the SAS Team Forum on Etsy, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank her for her all she has done for the team (and helping me with the transition)!
I have been Captain of the SASsy Critique Forum since Anna left, and enjoyed it tremendously! So much so, that when Steph was looking for someone to take over for her, that I was happy to step up and take the job as Captain of the entire SAS Team (including the Critique Forum). I look forward to assisting you all in your efforts to assist the sellers of the Etsy community.
If you have any ideas how we as a team and individuals can better serve the sellers of Etsy, please drop me a note, or post a thread in the SAS Team Mentors Forum. The easiest ways to reach me is by sending a message via either of my Etsy shops, KnitzyBlonde or ZaftigDelights, or you can email me at zaftig2k at yahoo dot com.
I would love to see a resurgence of the team blog. It is such a valuable resource. Prior to this post, no one had posted since April. I know that many of you have blogs and post regularly so anything that you have posted to your blogs that our readers would benefit from would be great to share here as well. I'd also love any of you that enjoy writing to please send me your ideas for blog features. They don't have to be long or involved. Sometimes short and sweet is better! But it would be great to hear from more of you. I'd love stories about how you may have helped a seller with some specific ideas that can also help others. If we publish you on the blog you always get a reference link to your Etsy shop as well, so it is a win/win!
I could also use more regular Mentors helping with critiques and questions in the SASsy Critique Forum. I only have a handful of regular Mentors that help with critiques right now, and it would be nice to lighten their load a bit. Our Critique Forum is becoming a very busy place as we have received a lot of recognition lately (see next paragraph). If you could do one critique a day, or several a week, we would be thrilled to have you join us! Let me know if you are interested.
Just yesterday there was a feature on me and our team on Handmade Spark! I hope you'll stop by and check it out.
I look forward to getting to know you all better!
SAS Captain

I want to Thank you for being such a great Captain. I just recently joined the team to improve my shop. All of the mentors are so kind to offer their time, energy, and experience to each member. I wish Steph the best of luck!

Thank-you for stepping up. This is a very valuable team to the Etsy community and I'm glad that it will continue.
I just stumbled across your blog-what a fantastic resource! I'll be sure to drop by the forum for some advice!

You are a trooper with all you've been doing.
I've been going thru a difficult period including some major life changes and have been absent for quite some time. I really hope to come back and participate more in the team but it will be a little while yet, I'm afraid.
Meanwhile I do get an occasional question via convo and can reply very fast.
