“CreativelyHappyOne” and her friend “RunswithScissors”


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”.
