We have a Winner!

My contest has ended and we have a winner.  Very few people commented in the thread so I used the list of those that signed up via the sign in form in the time frame.  The random number generator picked #17 and that corresponded to (drum roll please....)  Dale Anne Potter.  I will notify Dale Anne shortly.  She gets to choose a piece of art from my etsy shop and receive a 5x7 giclee reproduction from it!  Congratulations Dale Anne!

Thanks to all who signed up for my newsletter.  You should be receiving it shortly :)

Random image to go with my random number!

Scenes from a fair!

Here are some pics from my first craft fair. It was at the Rome Art and Community Center http://www.romeart.org/. My dear husband was sweet to stay with me the whole day. From now on, I will probably let him go home after set-up until tear down. It just isn't easy to put up these tents alone. He even ended up helping other people with theirs even though this was his first time too.

Here is my booth in all its glory. Now that I see it from this perspective - it looks kind of bare. It seemed quite full when I was inside. Gotta work on my layout!

The grids worked great! They are very affordable and really easy to use. You can just fold them up still attached together for the next time. They are 6' tall though and required us to put down the front seat to fit them in.

All in all it was a nice day - met lots of people and many took my card. A few sales and some inquiries about portraits and such. I was ready to pack it in by 5:00 though! One more this weekend and that is probably my quota for a year.

Inspire me Thursday!

I don't seem to be very good at doing this, but this weeks topic is cupcake! I love cupcakes and have a great ACEO that I did as a commission for a birthday gift. The info I had to work on was that the birthday girl loves 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' and that look.

Don't forget my give-away contest. Check it out here! http://artbylmr.blogspot.com/2009/08/cool-contest.html

Zazzle store~

Well, I finally succumbed! The lure of having my designs on Keds sneakers and postage stamps was too great!

I opened a Zazzle store. For those of you who have thought of trying another venue for selling your artwork - this one is totally Free! No shop or premium fees upfront. I also have a cafepress shop and that does have a fee for a premium shop. They have more products than Zazzle, but Zazzle has the advantage of only adding one type of mug. for example, and the buyer can choose whatever style of mug on the product page they like.

It is a no lose situation unless you count the time you put into it.

I only have one design so far, but I will be adding more.
