It's Black Friday today!

It's Black Friday today! And that means the official start of the holiday shopping season in the United States and buyers can get great deals at many stores, both online and brick-and-mortar ones.

Several members of the Busy Moms of Etsy team are offering great specials starting today and through Cyber Monday. You can see the complete list of shops offering special deals here.

My shop special is free shipping to anywhere in the United States today.

Here's a few of my favorites from the Busy Moms of Etsy team:

Set of 10 gift tags from The Art of Joy. The perfect topping for any package!

Silver random wire coil studs from Twisted Designs. (If my husband is reading this, hint hint!)

Cinnabons scented 8 oz mason jar soy candle from Cassia's Kitchen. I love the smell of Cinnabons!

Mr. Scrappypants Cat Plush animal by StolenTime. Who can resist that face, so cute!

So avoid the hassle of the crowds and do your holiday shopping with the Busy Moms of Etsy!

Happy 40th Anniversary Sesame Street!

Sesame Street celebrates its 40th anniversary today! I loved watching the show when I was a little kid (although I thought the Grouch was grouchy and scary) and now my three year old is watching and loving the show too. We heart Elmo! Congratulations and here's to 40 more years!
