Connect your Facebook Page to Twitter

After posting the tutorial on how to post your tweets to facebook, I was doing some more reading on connecting Facebook to Twitter and found this article explaining how to post from your Facebook Page to Twitter by using the Facebook Twitter app.

Click on this link https://www.facebook.com/twitter/ 

If you are already logged in to Facebook, your page(s) will show up. Click on the button that says “Link to Twitter”  You will be brought to this page where you will enter your username password.


Then click on “Authorize App”

You will be redirected and will see that your page is now connected to twitter.

Check or uncheck anything you don’t want sent to twitter, and click Save Changes.

When you are finished, try posting something from your Facebook page and see if it has been tweeted... twittered??

Post your Tweets to Facebook

If you link your twitter to facebook, you only have to post once to twitter and the post will be sent to facebook. Reach both audiences and get two things done at once!

 Here is how:

1.  Log into your twitter account

2 .Click on the little person icon, found between the search and the compose new tweet icon

3. Your menu will pop up where you can select Settings

4. In your settings, click on the Profile tab

5. Scroll down the page, near the bottom you will see the "Post your Tweets to Facebook" button. Click on this.

6. If you are not already signed into facebook, a window will pop up like this. Click on the button to sign in

7. Another window pops up, sign into your account

8. After you sign in, the window refreshes and you should see this

9. The check box for "my Facebook profile" will be checked by default. You will have to uncheck that, then check off the "my Facebook page" and then choose your page from the drop down menu.

10. Guess what? Another window! You will have to allow permission for the two sites to connect to each other. Click on Allow.

11. When you are finished, click on Save 

Now, whenever you post a tweet it will be sent to your Facebook page so you don't have to run around both sites trying to update everything individually. 

To disconnect twitter from facebook, follow steps 1-4, you will see this. Click on Disconnect.

Click ok, and you are done. 

If you need assistance with this, or have any questions, feel free to contact me. 

You can also connect your facebook page to twitter with a couple of easy steps.

Back Home

We arrived back home on Saturday from our whirlwind visit to the Lower Mainland. My hubby had a one day course there so we drove down and had a couple of quick visits with friends and family. P saw some of her great Aunties and Uncles, second and third cousins, big and little. She saw her Great Papa too. We had a lovely time and we are looking forward to the next visit.

Yesterday was Cyber Monday , I sold a few things....

While P was sleeping last night, I packaged everything up to ship off today.

I sold more in one day than I sold at my last two craft shows, and I didn’t have to leave my house. My hubby was nice enough to mail everything off on his way to work. <3

With my hard earned cash, I rewarded myself by cashing in on some Cyber Monday deals. I ordered myself these:

They are coming all the way from Poland, from a shop called Zoana. I want everything she makes, her prices and shipping rates are great too.

I still haven’t fully unpacked from our last trip and soon we will be heading to the lower mainland. I have a lot to do before we leave and I am hoping to squeeze in some outings before we go. Between looking after Miss P and house stuff I have been hanging out on the Busy Moms of Etsy team and working on the Busy Moms blog http://busymomsteam.blogspot.com/ I have found so many great Moms out there, juggling jobs, kids and their handmade art businesses. It is hard to spend time on the Etsy web site and not buy everything. I put together a treasury for the team featuring handmade holiday items.

When I have spare time I collect links of events in the Okanagan, Craft fairs, arts shows, farmers markets, art courses etc. There many things to do in the Okanagan but some of the events can be hard to find. I decided to make a facebook page to list the links I find of artsy things to do in the Okanagan.  Oh, and I made a blog for it too. As if I didn’t have enough on my plate already, right? It is ok though, I am keeping it simple. I am using Google Calendar to post the events as I find out about them, http://artsyokanagan.wordpress.com/. You can click on the event day, read the details and import the event to your own calendar, or you can import the calendar. When I have time I would like to attend some of these events. If you would like to be notified of artsy events you can visit the facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Artsy-Okanagan/195947850485064 I have sold a couple of pins this week. Another skeleton cameo and the Frankenstein Hello Kitty pin I am working on some new inventory that I am pretty excited about. I am also anticipating the fun things I have ordered and have yet to arrive. I'm not sure why, but I really enjoy getting stuff in the mail.

We are back from our Halcyon Hot Spring retreat. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back!

Last night was fun. I spent more than I sold, but that is ok because I met some really nice people. Miss P behaved herself which was awesome. My wonderful Mother came along to help out. Thanks Mom!

I found P some really cute hair clips from Sweetie Bug Creations. Here she is wearing one of them.

Hot Spring Retreat

Halloween Anniversary

We had a great Halloween Anniversary weekend. Our Halloween party turned out great, the kids had fun and ate alot of candy while playing "Boo-opoly". Penelope was scared of a Pirate hat but was ok with a Freddy Krueger mask.

We had a few trick or treaters for Halloween. Some kids were too afraid to come to our door. We made it worth their while with full sized chocolate bars. Penny's costume wasn't cooperating with me, so the mermaid thing didn't work out. I was prepared and had back up costumes so I was a gypsy/witch and P was my feline familiar. Miss P had a great time greeting the kids at the door and would wave to them as they left the driveway.

This week I have to work on getting the house in order and prepare for our get away to Halcyon Hot Springs next Monday. My workspace looks like a tornado went through there. I have a craft show coming up that same week, on November 10th at the Laurel Packinghouse https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=133718243387817 so I have to make sure I have everything ready before our trip so I'm not scrambling around the day before the event.

Halloween Prep

It seems that October has just flown by. I still have to make costumes for Penny and myself. Penny is going to be a little mermaid and I am going as her mermaid mommy. We have managed to get most of the decorations up, just have to do the indoor lighting then I think I will call it done. Our party is on Saturday and we have some grocery shopping to do.

I have made some fun Halloween accessories that are now available on my store www.industrialhippie.etsy.com. I especially like the skeleton lady cameo brooches that I made. It can also be worn as a pendant.

Here is a sneak peak at our Halloween house. This is our scary Halloween scene. We are making our own little family tradition to collect a spooky town piece every year. This year we found the train set on sale at Michaels and it was the last one so we grabbed it. It is so much fun to watch.

This is the Halloween display in our kitchen

Fall Kids Flea Market

Last Saturday was the Fall Kids Flea Market. I sold a few things, it was a fun day.

Stay tuned for pics of some new items!
