Does it Run in the Family

Still not feeling 100% but there is still so much work I want to get done ...

I worked on a print today...and while I worked my precious daughter worked along side me ...

I promised her that if she did her art work and put 100% into it I would show the world what an awesome artist she is ...

So now I must keep my promise....

 A young TatterBean in the making

 Piece to my Puzzle 

My new print will be in the shop sometime tomorrow 

Well here is to a amazing week ahead ..... The weekend goes by far to fast

Valentines Day

 Being a merchant means being on step ahead of yourself.....
planning in advance and being organized ... something which I use to be fairly good at ..but it would seem I have gotten out of the habit just a little.

So with a swift kick up the backside I have gotten my acted into gear.

I produced my valentines range and made them into mini prints.
Valentines day isn't just for lovers its for that person in your life that means a lot to you

Like your mother,father,sister,brother,daughter and son

The mini prints are ideal as they say I love you your special to me and then that person has a keepsake that they can fame... they come in a set ... and two of the sets are printed in textured METALLIC Linen Textured paper.

So not just one person can benefit a few special people in you life can.
Here is a little taste of what they look like ....

 each set ranges from $12 to $15 .... and they are in my shop now

2 Photographers 1 Inspiration

For along time now I have wanted to join in with Kristi and Melissa and their photo prompt  ... I use to do to join this prompt sometime ago before I opened my own Etsy shop...

Kristi is one of the reasons I started my shop.. she has for sometime been a source of inspiration to me ... and a great encouragement.

Her work is featured in my daughters room, and that room was decorated around the prints I picked out from her shop .. Lifethroughthelens

So this weeks prompt was your favorite imagine from 2010

This was hard there was so many

In the end I went with a favorite of some of my team mates on Etsy and a favorite of mine... both involving water a favorite activity of both my children

 

Both my children are awesome models and will send hours letting me take their photos as long as its something they enjoy doing... 

Do you have a faviorite Imagine of 2010

if so go join in with Kristi and Melissa

they would love to meet you

I pounced someone I meet in our teams BnR's....

He will always be hector to me... and his work will always inspire me ....

Oh and if you ever get the chance to meet hector...ask him how his name came about ... its an awesome story.

Can I just say I have never got this excited over a New Year ... day 3 and I woke up to another sale in my shop... Now that's worth getting up for ... 
That makes my two sales this week and its only Monday .... Got to LOVE IT

My hope, dreams and aspirations are beginning to fall into place... 

Last night I began working on a few new collections...

I love new collections I find really joy and peace when I come up with new ideas... and when I am in that place things move so quickly and I produce faster than if I'm in that stuck what am I doing place

Still stuck on the card idea, if I product a card is it Handmade... yes its my photo on the front but I didn't make the card... so this idea is a bit puzzling right now not sure what to think, but that's ok I'm sure at some point Ill find the answer that sits right with me.

So 2011 I am Loving you right now ....

New Year .... 2011

How fast did you year go by?

Mine was pretty fast one minute I was working for someone else next I was working for myself... and there are time when it all just seems a little bit crazy...

I have set myself person and work goals... now sticking to them is going to be key I feel

My work goals are as such as..

I would really like to do an photography exhibition in the spring
I would really like to be selling at lest two prints a week
And take part in at lest 6 craft fairs a year
Plus do some charity/donation work.

Can I achieve all this maybe I know I am the key to all this no one is going to do it for me ....

So here is to a an awesome year of Gaining and Giving ....

Talking about giving I did a little giver away just after christmas and I have a winner ....

Charlot aka dreamaginarius 

Charlot you need to email me ...with a way so I can stalk you .... :P and send you your winning print 

 I wish you all a Happy New Year with many Blessings
