Favorite Etsy Tool for Editing Listings & More

After selling on etsy for the last 16 years, I have been around the block.

In many ways....

I made it through the Covid Bubble of online sales skyrocketing.

I made it through the Covid bubble burst of online sales sinking further than the toilet.

I made it through 3 babies, and raising 5 kids.

I made it through many hard years of bootstrapping and late nights.

I made it through working through naps and any extra second I could find.

I made it through intense years of competitive dance, where time was just as hard to find as when they were tiny.

But here I am, 16+ years later.

A happy Etsy seller with more shops than I know what to do with.

I've got a shop for almost everything.

Its just kinda how it evolved over the years.

I have a shop for quilts

a shop for fabric

a shop for rag quilt patterns

a shop to share my love of Jesus Christ through reminders of heaven

a shop for my favorite United States of America

a shop for random craft projects

a shop for barn quilt kits

a shop featuring holiday decor

and a full of my favorite SVG designs that I have created.

Whew....that is a mouth full.

But what I have found over the years, is that I am just as busy today as I was when they were little and I was searching for any spare minute I could find

I am dividing my attention between way too many shops for one brain to comprehend at a time (even though it evolved slowly over time.

But as I have grown, I have found ways to manage too many shops.

One of my absolute favorite ways to manage all of these shops is a website called

Listadum

Now...don't get me wrong. I did just include an affiliate link to Listadum. But that isn't why I am sharing with you today.

I am sharing with you today because it has helped me streamline having so many etsy shops.

I am sharing with you today in the hopes that it helps you, even if you only have 1 shop.

I am sharing with you today, but I want listadum to be the top Etsy Help App out there.

I am sharing with you today, because I had a meeting with the creator of Listadum, but only after I had used the software for several months.

The software had proven to me that it was very useful, and so I met with the creator.

Let me tell you guys...he is in the trenches. He uses etsy as a seller. He knows what it is like and he knows what is helping to make his shop better.

But if I haven't convinced you guys yet to at least take a look...here are my top reasons why I always have Listadum tab open on my web browser:

I get a score on the listings:

The scoring system helps me to know where I can put my efforts to get my listings top notch. It tells me if my graphics are too small, it tells me if my description is missing words from the tags, it tells me if my title is missing key keyword phrases, it tells me about 10 other things too.

I get a score on my shop:

The score on my shop helps me to track my progress. What was my beginning score on some of my shops? Sub 80%. Whoops. But with Listadums help I am getting them all above a 90% and some are even closing in on 100%. This percentage doesn't indicate how well the listing is performing but it tells me overall how well built my listings are.

Keywords/Tags Get a Score

The keywords/tags that I use each get a score. I can see, based on the results listadum has access to, if the tag is in high demand and low competition area or if it is in high competition and low demand and everywhere in between. They even are color coded for easy picking.

The listings have stats beyond what Etsy gives easy access to:

A few of the things that I love to check, and in turn helps me to know which listings could use extra help is on the listings page. I can refine the stats based on all time, the last 30 days, and the last 7 days. The stats it provides include total views/listing, average daily views, the number and $ of sales for that listing, as well as the conversion rate, how many favorites, and the favorite ratio.

all of these stats help me to make decisions on what to do with each listing based on the time frame that I want to measure. I typically don't like to touch a listing that has sold in the last 30 days, so I often will filter based on that time frame. Then I go through and find any listings that have issues and go from there.

The different areas of my etsy shop are divided by what has the highest impact, medium impact, and low impact to my shop. Giving me a good idea of what I should work on to make the biggest impact. I try to follow the 80/20 rule as much as I can as I structure my day. This helps me to know exactly what to do.

These are just a few of the way that I have been using Listadum to help me throughout my workday in editing 8 different Etsy shops. I hope that it helps you too!

The Tender Mercies That Changed Me: Why I Started Journaling My Miracles

I used to think miracles were big and rare—Red Sea moments that came after desperate prayers.

I will Show Unto You A God of Miracles. Mormon 9:11

But lately, I’ve come to realize they’re also in the small things.

The scripture I didn’t know I needed.
The unexpected help on a chaotic day.
The peace that came before the answer.

The Lord's Tender Mercies - David A Bednar

I started recording these tender mercies, and it completely changed the way I saw my life. Instead of feeling behind or overwhelmed, I started to feel…carried.

That’s why I made the Tender Mercies & Miracles Journal. It’s a 16-page printable (with both PDF and PNG formats) that gives you a simple structure for recording and reflecting on how the Lord is working in your life.

I keep mine in my scripture bag and jot down thoughts after study—or after a long day when I need to remind myself that God is still in the details.

Here’s what’s inside:

6 lined journaling pages you can print again and again
6 quote + prompt pages to help you get started
2 cover options (so you can personalize it)
Instant download you can use right away

This is a tool I wish I’d had sooner, especially in seasons of waiting or wondering.
It helped me realize the miracle might already be happening—I just hadn’t slowed down enough to see it.

You don’t need to be perfect to start. You just need to be willing to notice.

Why Temple Hankies Matter: A Sacred Tradition for LDS Temple Dedications

When we prepare to enter the house of the Lord, every detail matters—from the spiritual preparation to the items we bring. One often-overlooked but deeply meaningful item is the LDS temple hankie.

For many members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, bringing a white handkerchief to a temple dedication is a sacred and symbolic act. It’s not just a wave of cloth during the Hosanna Shout—it’s a moment of unity, reverence, and testimony.

With upcoming temple dedications in Elko, Nevada, Grand Junction, Colorado, and Farmington, New Mexico, now is a beautiful time to reflect on the power of this simple tradition.

🌿 Why Bring a Temple Hankie?

It connects you to generations of Saints
From Kirtland to Kyiv, the tradition of temple dedications spans centuries. Bringing your own embroidered handkerchief adds a personal, modern layer to this sacred ritual.
It’s a symbol of your testimony
During the Hosanna Shout, that white handkerchief is a physical expression of your joy, reverence, and witness of Jesus Christ as the resurrected Savior.
It becomes a keepsake
After the dedication, many members place their handkerchief in their temple envelope as a reminder of their covenants and that joyful moment of praise. It's also a thoughtful gift for newly endowed members as they prepare to attend the temple for the first time.

🎁 The Perfect Temple Gift

Whether you're attending a temple dedication or gifting a temple-ready kit to a missionary, bride, or convert, an embroidered temple hankie is both meaningful and functional. Many of our customers choose to:

Tuck it into a temple envelope for the endowment
Slip it into a pocket or bag as a temple prep reminder
Pair it with a CTR towel or baptism keepsake for youth

We offer all LDS temples—past, present, and under construction—embroidered onto soft white cotton hankies with a reverent, clean design. Each one is stitched with care by our family business and ships from Idaho with love.

Want to grab one for your next dedication?
Visit HeavenlyReminderGifts.com for our full collection of LDS temple handkerchiefs. You'll find every temple—yes, including Elko, Grand Junction, and Farmington—ready to add to your special day.

How We’re Using a Wooden Plan of Salvation Puzzle in Our Gospel Lessons

This isn’t your typical printable. It’s a laser-cut wooden teaching aid that my kids can actually hold, arrange, and interact with during our Come Follow Me lessons or FHE nights.

Why It Works for My Family:

It’s tactile and hands-on (great for kids who struggle to sit still)
It creates natural discussion moments about each part of Heavenly Father’s plan
It’s durable enough for little hands but pretty enough to sit on our bookshelf

We’ve already used it during a Young Women lesson, my daughter’s Seminary study, and even let the missionaries borrow it for a family they were teaching.

If you’re a homeschooling family, a Primary teacher, or just looking for something meaningful to add to your gospel study routine—this puzzle is a winner.
