Okay! 

Let's get started with our third LINK UP CHALLENGE!

Here's what we're talking about today:

tell, in detail, about your first sale. Where were you, what were you doing, who did you tell first, did you jump up and down in excitement, did you call your mom, did you scream the news at your husband, what?! I know you remember!
{And if that first sale hasn't found it's way to your inbox yet, what will you do when you see those blessed words, "transaction complete?"}
{Don't act like you haven't thought about it!}

I've been super excited for this one, because hello?
Who doesn't want to talk about the time they almost threw a plate against the wall out of pure excitement?


So here's my story:

I was slumbering, and as the dew from the last night lifted ever so lightly off the leaves of the outdoors......

okay, OKAY! I'll stop!

So my mini family of three {soon to be four, wooohoooo!!} had made a trip out to Las Vegas for a family wedding, and we were in the slow process of waking up. As usual, I checked my phone to see what time it was, figure out who had text messaged me {because I'm so popular outside of us Cisneros's}, and just to lolly-gag a little bit before we all got out of bed.
Well this particular morning, I had two emails in my inbox, so I casually tapped on that precious little mail box icon, and saw that Etsy had sent me two messages.
"Hmm....Probably my daily Etsy tips...."
WAIT!
Hold on just a second!
WHAT WAS THIS?
There, in the subject line, were the words
TRANSACTION COMPLETE!
ohmygosh.ohmygosh.ohmygosh.
Had I just made a sale?
No.....Really?
OH MY GOSH! I JUST MADE A SALE!
TO SOMEONE IN MISSOURI!
JUST SOMEONE OUT THERE IN THE WORLD, INHABITING SOME HOUSE IN MISSOURI, BOUGHT ONE OF MY TIES!
I quickly sat up and shook Chad into full consciousness and yelled in an outrageously high pitched voice:
"BABE! I MADE MY FIRST SALE! SOMEONE BOUGHT A TIE FROM MY SHOP!"
At which point he said, "REALLY?? OH MY GOSH!! THAT'S AMAZING, BABE!"

I was so gosh darn excited I could barely pack!
I called my mom, who was in a different hotel room and shouted, once again,
"SOMEONE BOUGHT ONE OF MY TIES, SOMEONE BOUGHT ONE OF MY TIES!"
It was so amazing.

Honestly, there's no better feeling in the world.
In fact I'm still not over it.
That was on September 18 of this year, after opening my shop on the 12th.
ALLELUIA!

So what's your story?
I know there was some serious happy dance action taking place, so tell tell tell!
