Bellas Blog Staff

It takes a small team to keep this blog going.  This is one small way for them to be recognized for all that they do and for you to get to know our blog staff better.

Luci makes her happy home in Seattle, Washington with her boyfriend and her 17 year old son.  She writes for several blogs and runs an eco friendly craft supplies shop.  She says that she has seen a substantial increase in views and sales from participation in BNS and BNR boards and works diligently to get our shops the promotional opportunities they need to thrive.  You can find Luci on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, her Yarn Geek Heaven blog, and the Love2Upcycle blog.

Natalee from Black Willow Soaps - Blog Writer

Born and raised near Fort Wayne, Indiana, I have always been an active participant in the arts; visual, theatrical, and vocal. I even went abroad and was the lead soloist for a Catholic mass. I moved to Florida with my family at the age of 16 and focused primarily on visual arts. Even though I was very involved in the arts, I signed up for an eight year stint in the Florida Army National Guard as a Track Vehicle Repairer for a chance at something new. My military career was cut short by four years after I sustained a back injury in Aberdeen, MD. With this new start, I decided to educate myself. I currently hold a Master's Degree in Forensic Psychology, previously worked with abused and deliquent children, and am currently working with senior citizens at a non-profit organization. However, in my spare time, I create handmade soaps, bath salts, candles, and other items. I also continue to dabble in multiple mediums of paint and pencil.  You can find Natalee on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Blog, Stumbleupon, Tumblr, Flickr, Black Willow Soaps website, and Wanelo.

Francesca from The Shop At Pooh Corner - Blog Writer

Francesca is an avid blogger and writer. She enjoys reading, dancing, running, and spending time with her husband and son. Her favorite part of being an Etsy seller is searching for unique things to put in her shop.

Kelly from Art by Kelly Michelle - Blog Writer

My name is Kelly and I own the shop Art by Kelly Michelle on Etsy. I joined Etsy on June 12, 2012. I have always loved to do arts and crafts. I love making and creating items for my shop. I am hoping my shop can stick around for a while because I have really enjoyed all aspects of Etsy so far. Other than arts and crafts, I like to spend time with family and friends and take walks.  You can also find Kelly on Facebook and on her blog.
