New piece: Pink Blessings

I listed a new piece on Etsy yesterday. Pink Blessings - look over to the right column.  It took some doing, as my 3 year old was 'helping' me with the final touches. We had buttons all over the floor and toothpicks became his new fascination. (toothpicks being used for glue touch ups)

I'm also enjoying following the Etsy Melange Team, a group of mixed media artists. I love looking at their work in their Etsy shops and checking out their blogs. Its so fun to see others self expression through their art. So creative and some are so bold and daring.

I Was Chosen for a Treasury!!!!

I was chosen for an Etsy Treasury!  This is my first one. I'm so excited!! I just listed this item today. How cool.  Here is the treasury link: http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=86106

My plan is to list one new item each day. I have quite a few pieces done. I worked hard over the summer to stock up my inventory because I was supposed to do an art and craft show, but it fell through. So lots of art hanging around the house, ready to be listed on Etsy.

Welcome to Blissed!

How excited are you??!! I'm finally getting down to business and starting a blog. Well, I'm excited. But also kinda nervous.... I've never blogged before. As a matter of fact, I've been resisting the whole virtual social networking sites, hoping that its 'just a trend'. But alas, it looks like its catching on. Martha Stewart even had a segment on her show today about social networking. Well, if Martha can do it, so can I.

So, what is so interesting about me and my life that you would want to read about it? Hum....

I have to admit, I'm doing this for purely selfish reasons. I have two businesses to promote and everyone seems to think that this is the way to do it.

My first business is Blissed Paper Arts. I love playing with paper, glue, ribbon, fabric..... I love pictures of birds and flowers..... I love vintage stuff, springtime, long walks on the beach....

I want to share my art with others. So I started an Etsy store, blissedpaperarts.etsy.com.

Stop right here and go check out my store. I'll wait........


dum dee dum do do do la la llllaaaaa


What did you think? I have lots more to put on there so check back. My problem has been getting the photos of the items to look right. Its tougher than I thought it would be.

My second business is being a referral partner for a wellness company. This business has been a priority lately, because frankly, we need the money. Property tax hike - let's leave it at that.

I love the company and the products (free of toxins and harmful chemicals and they're better than store brands, less expensive too) and would love to share with you. Go to IWorkFromHomeAndLoveIt.com for more info. Please.

Well there you go. I did it. I wrote my first blog post. Oh so scary, but oh so satisfying.
