The Etsy Beagles Blog gets a Makeover!

Yep, it's time for a fresh look! A group of beagles team members is trying to give the Etsy Beagles blog a makeover. Love the new background, and Flash, the smiling beagle, will hopefully be joined by all his teammates in our new header! :D We are going to be tweaking and adjusting (or is it nipping and tucking?) the blog for a while, but it should look "showdog perfect" soon! I also plan on re-starting the interviews with our Beagles Team members. Hopefully, the next Team Spotlight interview will be posted on Friday, July 10th. You will have to check the blog to see who our next interviewed team member will be! ;) We are also planning our next team challenge for August. Can't wait to see the great entries! Welcome to our newest team members, 2 Raven Chicks and La Bella Vita 198! Their shops are on the list here, so please take a peek! Flash sends sloppy beagle kisses to all! MsAnomaly

And the Winner is....

On behalf of the Etsy Beagle Street Team, and our official name-drawing beagle, Flash, we would like to thank everyone who voted in our 3rd team challenge giveaway! Paws Up for the winner, cserpentDesigns! Please contact Annie at her etsy shop, Cody's Closet, to arrange for shipment of your prize, you Lucky Dog!

I tried to get a video of Flash choosing the prize. My video skills are about as bad as my still photography skills, but here is the video anyway: http://www.flickr.com/photos/17124653@N03/3624940973/

My hubby was using the shop-vac on our cars, but I thought the background noise was appropriate for a beagle digging through slips of paper for a snausage dog treat! ;) Also, I apologize for getting my big foot in there. It was so bight outside, I was holding the camera practically straight above the "action!"
