Hi everyone, it's Kristi.  That is a scary looking photo is it not?  I took it from inside my Etsy shop this morning.  I have a free "throwaway" bank account with Ally Bank already registered and ready to connect, but I'm holding off.  People have asked a burning question:

"If my shop is on vacation mode and I refuse to connect to Plaid, will Etsy still suspend my shop?"

I intend to find out shortly, and I will let you all know what happens!

Tomorrow I will be sending an EXTREMELY important email with a big next step on this project.  Watch your inbox.

And as always, stay strong.  #indiestrong
