AWE Team Members Post for FFAW

Welcome to the AWE Team Members Post for First Friday Art Walk.

The AWE Team consists of a supportive group of Etsy shop owners/artists that enjoy communicating with each other on the team discussion boards, helping to promote each other's shops through AWE Team treasuries, AWETeam FFAW treasuries, and so much more…
The AWE Team is the official team that hosts the First Friday Art Walk on Etsy.com.
This event does not happen all in one night, but rather expands through the whole First Friday weekend.
Here is a link to the blog post of AWE Team and FFAW themed treasuries for the October event.

Please take the time to stop by our AWE Team Members shops listed below to find some great items perfect for this gift giving season.

Go ahead, buy yourself a gift - you deserve it!

Theme Based Team Post for FFAW

Welcome to the October Theme Based Team Post for the First Friday Art Walk on Etsy,

Then get members of your team involved.

They can join the AWE Team as an individual, or just participate under the team umbrella by using your designated team tags.

To create a specific tag for your team members to use for this event:

Pick your team tag and add FFAW to the end of it.

Then create a blog post on your team blog for First Friday Art Walk on the Wednesday or Thursday prior to First Friday where your members can link up direct URL's for their Etsy shops.
