I can’t wait to sign up… don’t anyone take my spot!!

Here’s some buttons if you want to spread the word yourself!

Right?

I have no excuses. Anywho, it’s busy busy land around here. Single again, but it’s for the best. I’m also working on fixing up an old bedroom into a studio. I hope to put loom, wheels, yarn, sewing, and glass stuff in there. So far it’s painted and next step is the floor.

The photo below is the walls when I was painting. The left has two coats and the right is only one. The color is called magicians cloak.

So that’s what’s up with me!

but I have found a very nice website that I think a lot of my friends should know about.  I discovered this website thanks to the wonderful Goddessjoy.  It is called Artfire and is a indie artists venue similar (but much better IMHO) to Etsy.

The have an offer going now for $7 a month for life for the first 5000 people who sign up for it. That’s it. $7 per month… no listing fees no nothing. I have one of those $7  a month seller accounts because I am planning on doing something in the near future. It is free to sign up if you just want to buy and theres a free level for sellers also.  I haven’t started my shop yet, but have been speaking with people who have.  The customer service is fast and responsive and very helpful.

The site is still in Beta and they are very open to suggestions and have a good community forum area for doing that. All in all its a great website and venue for all the artists out there!

I hope you check it out and enjoy!

I installed Bird Feeder on my blog to update my Twitter when I blog. I’m just testing this to see if it works.
