I took the leap and got a website name registered. It felt really good to jump on the horse and start galloping. I then went and got an email account. The name was being used so I had to add a 1. Not a big deal, I like being number 1. Then I head to Etsy to open a shop. Now keep in mind I had searched Etsy to see if this name was being used and it had not come up. One of the reason it was such a great name, but low and behold I went to register and it was taken. I thought, that’s okay it is just a username, not a shop name, I can handle this. I am sure the shop name is still available because I couldn't find it. I was WRONG, it was taken but I had come all this way, done all this work, had been decisive and know I was put on hold. I didn't want to add the #1 to my store name. I started thinking and decided I was going to have my website forward to Etsy so it wouldn't be a big deal if I had to add a 1, but then I had a moment of clarity. I could add a 1 but in a different way, I could add the word “one” which fits just fine with my business name. So let me introduce my self. I am Heather, owner of “CreativelyHappyOne” on Etsy. The name fits like my favorite camping coat. It feels good and warm and comforting. Because I am really the creatively happy one around here. I am always making something. I feel like I just got my new native american name. I can just see myself being introduced. This is “CreativelyHappyOne” and her friend “RunswithScissors”, who is standing next to, “SmellslikeGlue”.
