What's in a name?

So before I put my books up on Etsy I really wanted to think of a name that would represent me and something I like. I did a lot of research, looked at a lot of pictures, and looked what other people named there stores on Etsy. I knew I really wanted my store name to have something to do with candy, but I couldn't think of how candy related to books. Then I thought of candy wrappers and candy buttons. I used buttons on my books and candy wrappers were paper so that made sense. So I was finally on the right track. Then I had an idea, I could make books out of candy wrappers! And that was it, I had my name. Since then it has been nothing but fun making the logos and sticker labels for my books. This weekend I'm making a juicy fruit book and reese peanut butter cup book.

Etsy!


I just started putting my books on Etsy and I'm really excited. I think my pictures turned out pretty good. I used a brown paper back drop for all of them so they have a unified look. I already had three people put me in their favorites on Etsy. I'm working on my candy wrapper books now. I just found pink razzberry m&m's so that sould be a super cute book. Anyways I'm really feeling excited about Etsy and just having fun making books! If you are interested in seeing my books or you really like the skittles book you can see them at http://candywrappersbooks.etsy.com/.
