At last....

Wow! It has never taken me this long to put a wet brush to ANYTHING! But lately I have been so busy working on the marketing aspect of things I have not been painting at all!

YEEEEESH!

But I sat yesterday for a couple of hours and just painted. I did two new STUNNING cake plates and domes. The bottoms of the plates still need some more work. More is always MORE when I am painting.

I am thinking of doing a TRADE soon too. I just need to get some things painted first. I just need to get some more things painted!!

Trades work like this -- I put up some pics of my things and you pick out what you would like and you send/post me a pic of what you would like to trade for it. I LOVE to have the work of other artists and in this day and age when we are all a little strapped for cash it is fun to get something fun!!


So who would like to do a trade?

I will be posting pics of things to trade at the beginning of next week. I will have smaller and larger items so there will be something for everyone!

Cheers!!

Hmmmm....

Do you judge your blog by how many followers or comments that you have?

Should I?

If so -- Mama needs to rethink this blogging business ;)

Today was a family day. We took Lilly to soccer this morning. FUN! 2 year olds chasing soccer balls around. LOVES IT!

Then a little shopping at the mall. (EEEKK!) But if you took the babies to the mall in their soccer uniform you get a free t-shirt. And you know I never met a free thing that I did not LOVE! Plus Hallmark Card Shop was giving away free cards from their new Encouragement line. Free t-shirt AND card. Be still my heart!!

And I got INSPIRED at the mall of all places. Everything ready for Spring. Flowers everywhere. Lots of inspiration for all of the painting I plan on doing this week!!

Then it was home for baby naptime. Then back out to friends for playdate and dinner. We all had a fantastic time. Church tomorrow and then home for family time and then ready to start a new and exciting week!

Cheers,
JJ

Another day ..another ....uhhh...

Yes, it is another day in the maison of Just Junque! We have managed to get a whole lotta nothing done. But a whole lotta stuff done too! Strange how that happens, isn't it!?!?

Dishes - DONE!
Laundry - DONE!
Facebook checked - DONE!
Ebay account set up - DONE!
Blog Entry - DONE!
Surfed Etsy - DONE!
Babe down for a nap - DONE!

What I have not done is any art, taken a shower, eaten lunch, anything creative, etc, etc, etc.

Those are the things I WANT to do today.

Wait....whats that I hear?? the shower, you say...

Ok -- Something more clever and some new art to follow soon....I HOPE!!
Cheers!

Ok!!!

This is it!

I am OFFICIALLY back in business! I am now on Facebook, Etsy ANDEbay too!

Later today I am going to try to find some new pics to add to the site and get my tail back in gear. Yes, I wanted to add another exclamation mark there - but I refrained. Be proud, it might not happen again.

I am getting ready to get the JUNQUE out in pubic again.

Hopefully this year will bring lots and lots of craft shows, Ebay and Etsy business!

Mama (me) just has to make an effort. I will write a long post a little later explaining the whys and hows of how I got off track in life and business.

Cheers!!
