Opportunities

I was sent a message via Facebook that there will be a booth opening inside a local gallery during our Blue Plum Festival at the first of June. So I said yes and will be working like heck to be ready. A the work has to be small enough to carry and under $50, so I'm thinking magnets, tiles, cards, aceos, etc. More later.

As you can see on my sidebar I'm selling a book. I thought I would like to try digital art, but it is too much sitting and reading for me. Plus, the trial Photoshop expired and I so do not want to spend that much money on a computer program. I had rather hit Cheap Joes in Boone, NC for art supplies or Artopia in JC. I'm offering it to you guys first before listing it on ebay. I'm selling it for $13 which includes postage.

I have a question to put to all of you. I am thinking of adding Google Adsense to my blog. I could really use some extra cash. What do you all think? Would it put off people from wanting to visit my blog? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Memememe, the MeMe Award!

I have been awarded a MEME award by Kim over at merlinsmusings. I’m to pick out seven unknown things about me. That could be scary-for you folk. Let’s see…


1-Here’s something normal. I am my mother’s caregiver. She is wheelchair bound, oxygen dependant, mostly blind, semi deaf, diabetic, and has to have dialysis three times a week.


2-I love to eat frozen milk. Frozen milk with a shot of rum is even better. Frozen chocolate milk with rum is uber better. Frozen hot chocolate with rum is super uber better.
(stop snickering!)


3-After years of “studying art” in college, I only became an artist while taking a few months off from my job to take care of my stepfather before he died. It was then that I discovered Somerset Studio and was drawn into the world of mixed media. Haven’t looked back.


4-My all time fav movie is Resident Evil. Second fav would be Dawn of the Dead. Yes, I love zombie flicks.


(Why are you looking at me that way?).



5-I would love to travel the world one day. The place at the top of my list to visit? Romania.


6-I went through a Sioux ceremony once and met my totem animals and was given a native American name. I am Dances in Moonlight. I wish I could say it in the Sioux language.


7-I’m working on a paranormal mystery novel. I properly never get it published, but hey, it’s the book that I want to read.


So, that’s just some of my weirdness. I have much more.


Now for my seven nominees…and if any do not wish to participate I so understand. This is just to let you know I think highly of your blogs.

Artful Blogging

So, I got my copy of Artful Blogging, Summer Issue, and couldn't wait to get home to look at it. After fixing a pot of coffee I sat down to flip through it first. What a beautiful issue. The cover is absolutely stunning and the blogs featured inside are wonderful and inspiring. I really loved the first blog that showcased food as art. Quite yummy. Now I am reading the blogs. I have to read some of them before I go to bed. Yes, I am addicted to this magazine since the very first Artful Blogger. I can't wait for the autumn issue.

Here is the link to Somerset's Artful Blogging Page. Check it out!http://www.stampington.com/html/artful_blogging_sum08.html

I just wish mine own blog was up to par. Maybe this issue will help me. (a new camera would help, too, so I can post some of my artwork.)
