The Past Few Months In Photos

It is time to play catch up from the past few month using photos in order from the last blog post till now....

I participated in the Broad Ripple Art Fair Student Sale!

I organized and put on our school's K-8 Art Show. These are some linocut landmark prints from 7th graders! They are pretty talented!

Became a couponer, who gets lots of things for free (but does not store stuff under beds or in kids playrooms like that show...). Thanks to Coupon Pro, Coupon Mom, and Money Saving Mom for getting me started in the right direction and for their updates!

Thanks to them, I am now the proud owner of items like.... 150 boxes of pasta (that I earned $1.50 back when shopping), 32 sticks of deodorant, 25+ boxes of brownies, 43 containers of tic tacs, tooth paste, shampoo, and conditioner for a lifetime and lots more. I have been waiting for my school to host a food drive or something.... I do no need all of this, but it was all FREE! Maybe couponing leads to hoarding....I think both of those shows are on TLC.

Went fishing in St. Petersburg Florida with my husband and two awesome friends!

My sister-in-law got married. I took a photo with a giant yellow pepper!

I became the next American Idol!

Not really, but I had a ton of fun taking photos behind a rear projection screen!

I did eat a lot of crab legs while attending the Home Video Studio Getaway 11 and the "Hanley Awards" in Las Vegas.

Currently I have been adding new Rainbow Crayons to my shop and preparing to go back to school (I am an art teacher).

So there you have it... Summer has been so busy and has gone by so fast. I hope you enjoyed the photos and stay tuned for a giveaway from our Facebook Fan Page and a sale in our Etsy shop!

I AM BACK!

Hi Everyone!

Boy! It has been 2 months since I have blogged. That is the longest ever... I am so sorry for those who have been following me or attempting to follow me. I even got some great e-mails and comments asking when I would be back!

The good news is that I am back. We finally closed and moved into our new home (my FIRST!) at the start of this month. Teaching is going well. As you can seen in an earlier post below, my second book on artist trading cards (ATC) is now out and available for purchase thorough my ETSY shop.

Only 4 months till my wedding! I now have 6 bridesmaids, which is very exciting. I also found some great things though ETSY that I will be purchasing and featuring since I will be using them in my wedding.

Sales are UPUPUP finally. For those Etsy sellers out there, it is picking back up, so work hard and do not lose hope! I was in last weekend's Etsy Weekend Deals and made about 25+ sales just in one day alone! Very cool.... I also signed up for a craft fair for this weekend at the last minute. I need all the sales I can get to afford my wedding. I am sure I am not the only one in this boat.

I promise there will be more features, great links, and exciting product reviews to come. Everyone needs a vacation once and a while, but not I AM BACK! If you made it though this entire post, I hope I did not bore you with my life, but I like to also work things out in my mind as I type.

Feel free to post comments! I like hearing from my readers!

Back from the Bahamas!

I am back from the Bahamas! Glad to see several sales and visitors while I was gone and my heart count jumped up about 20 people.... WOW! Thanks everyone. I need to go on vacation more often!

Eric and I at the airport ready to leave. Can't you see we are so excited?!

I am blogging today to post some photos of the trip. I took a Royal Caribbean Cruise on the Majesty of the seas with my boyfriend to Nassau and Coco Cay! We had so much fun. I only wish it lasted longer. This was my 4th cruise and his 1st!
