An Artist Friend I'd Like To Share With You.

I have a great friend named Cindi Myers who is an artist and a lover of animals. I wanted to share some of her mixed media paintings with you. She paints both cats and dogs and has a fun graphic style.

She sells her work on Ebay and her listings can be found here.  I hope you'll check out her work.

She has a blog where you can see more of her work.: http://oldblackcatboo.blogspot.com/

I have so many things going on right now that for my sanity I've set aside my doll making for a while. I enjoy it so much but I just don't have the time needed to devote to it. And since it's more of a personal pleasure than a money opportunity right now...well you get the drift.

I do have many exciting other projects and also some tutorials coming up so be sure to keep an eye out!

New Items in My Etsy Shop & Ebay Store

Herman the Penguin wears his heart on the outside to advertise that he's looking for love. This is one of a couple of critter flat notes that I hope to get in my etsy shop for Valentine's day. I'm also working on some cute kawaii moniji designs.

The ever popular Talking Hearts design is back in my Ebay store. Gift and favor stickers are up in this design too. A brand new for Valentine's Day cupcake design will be listed soon.

It has been a bit difficult doing 2 different types of stationery designs and doll making. I've been jumping from one thing to the other and making myself slightly wacky! I suppose that organizing is the key so I'll have to work on that! I just feel a bit scrambled at the moment like a juggler who keeps getting more balls thrown at him.

I just made Power Seller on Ebay

Wow, so I finally made Power Seller. It's exciting and worrying and tiring all at the same time.

It was a huge goal of mine when I first started selling on ebay. I worked so hard to reach this and it was always just out of reach. Really I gave up trying because I had other issues in my life to worry about. So it was a huge surprise to me that I qualified!

I can't really say that I'm entirely happy though. In order to retain this status I'll have to work my butt off and I'm not sure I have the energy to maintain that level with my illness and other family problems. The economy doesn't help either. I have many loyal clients who come back again and again and I'm so very grateful to them! I've gotten a lot of new referrals lately too but I see myself and others on ebay who do what I do struggling to stay afloat with ebay's fees going up and competition getting stronger. It's enough to wear you out!

I am grateful that I achieved a goal I set for myself, that's always a feel good moment. So yea me!
