A FEW ITEMS I HAVE SOLD RECENTLY IN MY ETSY PHOTO SHOP :)

Hi All :)

I hope your Weekend is going well :)

I just wanted to pop in here and share some of the items I have sold in my Etsy Photography Shop recently :)

I feel truly grateful that people appreciate and buy my work :)

2016 has started off really well for me and it feels like a blessing as all the hard work over the past few years might be starting to pay off :)

The 3 photos above were a customized special ordered set - it is always fun to personalize my work to customers special requests :)

"Flowers At Midnight" - Wall Tapestry - 88" x 104"

And the customer was so happy with this Wall Tapestry she sent me a photo of it on her bedroom wall, so sweet :)

"Journey" - Wall Tapestry - 68" x 80"

"Colorful Fishing Floats" - Throw Pillow Cover - 18" x 18"

These customers were so excited with the Pillow Cover (above) that they asked me to customize a yard of fabric for them to cover a chair, I don't usually do this but they have been so sweet and it was a new venture for me :)

So these are some of the items I have sold in my Etsy Shop in the passed month, YAY!!!!! 

I am selling pretty well in my Society 6 Shop as well, YAY!!! there too :)

Thanks to the wonderful customers and all the support from the lovely people who encourage me everyday :)

Have a Wonderful Weekend :)

A New Year, will it be any different?

Hi All :)

I Hope you are all well and enjoying life :)

So, I hadn't really thought I had given much thought to New Year resolutions until I realized that I had promised myself, some time last year, that in the New Year I would blog more, well.............um, I think I totally failed on that one already, LOL!!!

Then I thought I really see resolutions, for me these days, as more like wishes. So here are a few I have been wishing for a while.

I wish I could be well and healthy. (Totally accepting and grateful that I am still around to wish for that :)

I wish I could earn money. ( I totally feel guilty for being constantly challenged healthwise and therefore am not employable in the ordinary sense of the word and can't contribute to our family's income) 

I wish I could travel farther afield. (Haven't had the energy to travel to England for a very long time, which is rather depressing but am grateful I can at least tolerate 2 hrs flights)

I wish I could expand my business. (I am working on that, albeit slowly)

I wish I could keep everyone safe. (This is a bigger challenge but I wish all the crazies would hop on a jet and go to another planet) 

2012 was not such a good year for me in many respects, healthwise. A LOT of challenging testing and no conclusive results or some rather vague diagnoses, a  LOT of health repercussions because of those tests and also some out there treatments that left me completely wiped out for weeks. It truly doesn't make sense to do that over and over again to myself because some arrogant Neurologist has the attitude "it's my way or the byway :(.  
So, as 2013 started I had a chest infection, then a cold and then a relapse, (Woo Hoo!) I realized it was time to start again, to regroup and look at what my options are. I will keep you posted.

But.......

2012 definitely had its lovely moments. Time I got to spend with my amazing family all together; the trips I did get to take were awesome.
 And when I was able, I got to work on my Art and Photography which truly brings me great joy and being able to share that with others is so amazingly rewarding and uplifting.

This is one of my Favs. from last year :)

SOFT AND GENTLE (Peony)

The subtleness and beauty of nature blows me away all the time and gives me the strength to stay the course. :)

And Knowing that my supportive and amazing Blogger Buddies are there is totally incredible. :)

WHEW!!!!!

OK, then, moving on :)

I also wanted to share with you this beautiful giveaway from one of my Blogger Buddies :)

This wonderful piece of artwork is up for grabs, so amazing, her work is truly inspiring :) Check the giveaway out HERE :) (ends on Wed. so be quick :)

K. has also inspired me to do my own blog giveaway very soon, I haven't done one in forever, so come back soon and see, but don't hold your breathe as I seem to be only blogging every 10 days or so, LOL!!! :)

Have a lovely Monday :)

Happy Painting/Creating! :) T.
