Rapid Cart -check it out!!

Okay I have not talked enough about Artfire. This site keeps amazing me. Here is something new they just came out with. If you look over at my right side bar you will see that you can buy right off my blog. Yes, that is right. It just takes 28 seconds to check out. It is called Rapid Cart. You do not need to be on the Artfire website to purchase or be a member. I dare you to click on the picture and it will show you the details. It is 3 steps to purchase. If you are interested in selling handmade/handcrafted and becoming a member it is $7/month for life but will increase to $20/month soon. Just click HERE and it will take you to sign up. Rapid cart is revolutionary.
Another Artfire member came up with the idea to see if we could feature other store's on our blog. So we can and I'm featuring her on the left, Libertydoll.
