Thursday Themed Challenge: December 16

Welcome to the Thursday themed challenge! 
This is a one day only challenge that starts right now and ends at midnight eastern tonight.
Tomorrow morning, the top 4 treasuries, determined by views, will be posted in a poll that will run through the weekend. The winner of the poll will receive ad space on the right sidebar until next Thursday's challenge!

Next week we will get back to our regular merchandising desk themes and keywords, etc. But this week, we've got to finish up our "honoring" of the team leaders. They surprised me with it last week so I'm gonna give it to them right back! A lot of members don't always understand or recognize the amount of work that goes into running a team. The public stuff is one thing, but the behind the scenes part would blow you away until you've done it yourself. Please help me honor our 3rd leader today for her awesome work both publicly and behind the scenes, too.

This team would not have the blog, our graphics, daily encouragement, or even other sane leaders without our 3rd leader, Jennifer (CreativeCabin131).
So today's one day only theme is:

CreativeCabin131



Here are the rules:

1. Interpret this theme any way you want to or any way you can and let that be the theme of your treasury! Be creative! This is a chance to let your artistic freedoms shine! It doesn't have to be literal.

2. Use at least 8 undiscovered shops (less than 20 sales) and the rest team members. Do not include yourself or any non-team members with more than 20 sales.

3. You must add "treasury challenge" somewhere in your treasury title.

4. You must tag the treasury "teamdiscovery" and "TDthemechallenge".  Please do not forget to tag your treasuries! You can also include "thank you, jennifer" or "creativecabin131" if you like. 

5. Link back to this exact blog post in your treasury. This will help the word get out and make our challenges (and exposure) exciting! If you cannot think of what to write, try this (and add the exact URL):

This is a Team Discovery treasury challenge!
These challenges run one day only and the winner receives awesome stuff! 


Anyone can play. Come check it out:

6. Post your treasury URL here in a comment on this blog post. This will count as your entry.

7. Follow our blog, please. You can do this by clicking follow over there in the right sidebar ---> or by clicking follow all the way at the top left of the blog.

8. Promote your treasury in any way you can. Tweet it, facebook it, forums, too! The top 4 treasuries (by views and/or hotness first thing Friday morning) will be open to voting on our blog this weekend. The winner will receive ad space in our sidebar for one week, until next Thursday's themed challenge. Last week's winner is not eligible to win this week but is encouraged to participate for the fun of it.

9. Please follow these rules exactly if you want your treasury to count in the challenge. Failure to add "Treasury Challenge" to your title or improper tagging might result in us not being able to find your treasury at all and it won't count!

10. This challenge ends at midnight tonight, eastern time and the voting for the winner will begin Friday morning.

Wednesday Friendsday: Link Up Your Facebook Fan Pages for More Friends and Fans!

Welcome to Wednesday Friendsday, hosted by Team Discovery!


Our mission is to find and promote undiscovered shops and new sellers because everyone needs a break once in a while, a leg up, a helping hand, and a friend! Marketing and networking are just a couple of the ways we help each other and promote ourselves. Facebook fan pages are a perfect way to do just that.


Here at Wednesday Friendsday, we share our fan pages with each other, "like" or "fan" each other, and support and be supported. The rules are simple:

  • Follow our blog.
  • Add the URL (link) of your Facebook fan page to the list below.
  • Fan as many fellow sellers and teammates as you wish.
  • Do not spam each other's pages.



That's it!

Thanks so much for stopping by and helping us help and support you!

Tempt me Tuesday Link Party!

It's Tuesday here at Team Discovery and we're hoping to start a new tradition! Welcome to the next installment of our Tempt Me Tuesday linky party. If you're a seller, it's time to tempt us with your items. Show us what you're working with!


The rules are oh so simple!


  • Link up to 3 of the items you are selling below by adding the direct URL to your item.

  • For the name, use the name of your item, not your personal name. You may include the price, too, if you like.

  • Follow our blog.

  • Spread the word.

  • Mark your calendars and come back next Tuesday!

  • That's it! Simple, right? And fun!



If you add a link, please leave us a comment so we know you stopped by. Help us get the word out about this party by tweeting, blogging, linking, shouting it from the rooftops. Just any number of ways we can help each other get the word out and have fun at the same time! Because when we network and support each other, we all win!
