MySpace Mini's

I will be working on giving the MySpace page a new look for the fall. If you would like your etsy mini to be shown on the page please send a convo to LeahAnaDesigns. If you already have a mini on the myspace page it will remain there. If you ever want your mini taken down (not that that will ever happen of course!) but if you decide you don't want the free publicity for whatever reason convo me about that too.


Thanks!

Leah
