FINALLY! I have something listed on E-BAY!!!

Well I finally did it! I have a doll on E-Bay. I figured I better get something on there for our group launch before I got the boot for not participating in any group activities!! I just can not seem to find the time to do on-line and the store. Well I literally spend the last two days just working on the details of her! I spent the last few hours doing up the auction template...once on the wrong Ebay...I started it on .com and when I was almost finished I got to the shipping part and relized I was on the wrong one...so I went under .ca and got all my pictures uploaded and I back spaced too many times and lost them...but now it is finished.

Then theme for the launch is "Whispers Under an Autumn Moon" So I created Penelope. She is a goth girl that can talk to her Raven on the full autumn moon! If you get a chance to check her out the title of this post should take you right to her! :o)

Ok I have been on here for too many hours I must go to bed! :o)

KC Willis Studio Retreat!!

I am a member of KC Willis Collage Camp and she has an amazing on-line class but now she is offering to teach you in person!!!! If I had the means to get there I would but maybe you can! If you live in or around the Colorado area you should check it out. It would be soo much fun! The title post will take you directly to the sign up with more information.

KC says:

"I am just soooo excited about the opportunity to teach in person. Never thought I would do that (and I can't promise I will do it forever) BUT for now I am super-jazzed about it. I want you to come hang with me in my new studio, have dinner with me in the evening and enjoy the unbelievably beautiful area that I call home. I have so much I want to share with you about art and living the artistic life and so much I can learn from you."

As Georgia O'Keeffe said "There is something unexplored about women...that only a woman can explore."

Well I must go I have a lot of orders to do, will post when I get more time.

The Never Ending Roofing!

Well Larry took two weeks off work to replace our roof. He worked on it by himself for 4 days and got all the shingles off and got the back side of the kitchen done before his brother Jon showed up. Well Jon has been here since Wednesday...it is now Tuesday and the roof is still not done! I was thinking once Jon got here it would be done in no time! Well I couldn't have been more wrong! Between the really hot weather and them coming in every two hours to eat and making me run to the building supply store everyday for something that they forgot! Our house is 160 years old, the roof boards are big planks that were in pretty rough shape so Larry had to covered them with ply wood first. Here is the progress so far!

$400 dollar Trampoline Ruined in less than 2 minutes!!!

I was in the house making lasagna for supper, Paige was outside bouncing on the trampoline with Caleb and Larry and his brother John were on the roof working (that is a whole other post for later) After getting after Kristen for 15 minutes to hang out the laundry on the line it started to cloud over and the wind picked up a bit...nothing big right....well Kristen looked out the window and said it is starting to rain...then all of a sudden out of nowhere the wind starting blowing HARD! Then there were screams outside so I ran outside...in the time it took me to get out there it was over! What it was I do not know but Paige told me that it started to sprinkle so her and Caleb got off the trampoline and sat underneith it, Jon and Larry scurried off the roof and ran for the barn well as Jon was running across the yard to the barn the trampoline went airborne and flew across the yard almosting hitting him!!! It bounced off the car and landed on the other side near the small barn upside down!!! The picture I took far away is where the trampoline use to be, held down with concrete blocks too! It hit the car hard and left a few good dings...we flipped it right side up to see how bad the damage was...it is toast! And the last picture is literally 10 minutes later...clear and sunny like nothing happened! I am so thankful that Paige had sense to get herself and Caleb off the trampoline!! It definately would have been a trip to the hospital for sure! It is a huge 14 ft trampoline and it was picked up tossed like it was nothing! Then after I took pictures I picked up all the laundry that was struin around the yard!

KC Willis Collage Camp!!!

KC Willis is offering a workshop on the Ning network! Here is what the class is all about!! The title of this post is linked right to her workshop!!

The KC Willis Collage Camp is an extension of my art line called Lipstick Ranch. This art celebrates the women of yesteryear, with a special love and emphasis on the Women of the West. You, of course can use any family image you love or any image in Public Domain. We will go over step-by-step the making of a 16x20 piece. The techniques are such that in the end the work you will make will look old and weathered with luscious layers of fabrics, collages and embellishments.

You join the artist's group here at The Camp when you pay your registration. Once the videos are up you can watch them at your leisure and be involved with the Camp Community as much or as little as you like. You will make friends and you will be inspired by the work that will be done here.

WSOAPP UPDATE TONIGHT!

Well I have not been on here in a while!!! I didn't realize how long it has been! :o( I took a week off during March Break which was nice! I spent one whole week getting ready for a show that a friend asked me to do. Well that was a complete waste of time...I only sold one thing and gave up going to an auction and car shopping so I could get ready for the show! Live and learn. I will stick to the fall shows from now on! :o)

I have not had time to make a bunch of new things for my WSOAPP update but I do have a couple of little ones to list. I am also the featured artist for the month! It was horrible answering all the questions! I am no good at writing...as you can tell from my blog...but I try! :o)

WSOAPP UPDATE TIME!!!

I have my items up on my WSOAPP site! The title of this post will take you directly to my shoppe if you would like to take a quick peek. It is late I have to go to bed, sorry so short! :o(
