Today I just uploaded the free pattern pack design to paint for personal use.
It is painted in altered art style that seems so popular today. A fairly quick canvas to paint meausring 12" X 16" in size.
Something a little out of the ordinary for all the dye heart Eiffel tower fans.

A couple of nights ago I was on a business forum and they were saying one of the best ways to get your web site higher in the google search engine is to have back links. There are a few sites that you can submit for free. A couple of them are listed on my links page.
Also have you thought of tweeting about your site? It is fairly quick and you don't have to wait for picture uploads. Short little sentences to attract your buyer.
Well that's a few tips for today. Thanks for dropping bye.

June 8/09

It was a beautiful weekend. Summer is here and i think to stay. I can't wait until we get our portable pool up to cool off on those hot days we have had record highs!
I just finished an altered art piece that I will load up later this week as a free download. It's theme is of Paris. I used a gorgeous sepia toned scrapbook paper for the background, added a post card, and a few stencils of the Fleur De Li's
pattern to go along with the theme. At the bottom is painted a magenta colored tulip. So hopefully you will enjoy painting it and it is fairly quick to whip up.
Well I actually was able to weed a little today, but I am over swamped with horse tail. It seems so hard to get rid of. Oh well all in a day of a garden.
Have a great week and remember find your niche be creative!

May 27/09 First Flowers

I was thrilled today I picked my first bouquet of flower and made an arrangement.
Pink peonies, petal pink roses, blush white roses, iris (blue - mauve my fav colors). Oh they were just beautiful. I love blue for a flower well I guess the iris's were a mauve blue, but oooohhhhh soooo pretty. I had to share the picture with you.

The mauve and white varigated iris is from a friend who took beginners classes with me probably 10 years ago. She is such a sweetie too. Everytime they bloom I think of her. That's what I love about gardening and sharing plants with friend. It's always such positive energy!

It seems so late this year, but glad they are here. It could motivate me to do some gardening if the weather is nice this weekend.

Well it also makes me want to grab my brushes. Too late I'd be up all night. Hope your gardens a bloomin and inspirin.

Well that's my little two cents worth tonight. Lights out for me.
