In Memory.....

It's June 18th...three years since
my husband lost his battle with cancer.

For me...it is important
to "share with the world" a few
brief moments captured in his life..

I'm just 'warning' you..
I know some folks are fans of
'memory lane'
especially someone else's memories...

but..this is something I started doing
on the first anniversary...
and something I 'choose' to continue to do.

New Products in Rustic Goth Zazzle

I have been so bad about neglecting my
Rustic Goth Zazzle Store.

I've been somewhat better at the
CMZ Art Zazzle Store....but only slightly.

But...I spent last week-end working on new products
in both stores.
What is really cool....
I have designed some really great
Keds Shoes
based on a few of my original paintings.

My 'availability'

I wanted to post a quick note
to say..
'chances are pretty good
that my 'availability' will be sporadic
through the week-end
and into next week.

My internet connectivity has been
'frustrating' at best.
Between lengthy phone calls
with Tech Support
and home visits
(which I do not like...they always
schedule a four hour time slot...and NEVER show
up until four hours PLUS have passed).

So..when the cable guy came out
this past week...he tests all the lines..the cable modem..
etc..etc..etc..

He finally goes outside...tests all the lines and wires out there...
apparently tree limbs and branches have become all
entangled with the wires...
and there's something also wrong with whatever it is
that is sitting out on a pole out back...

so...in the meantime...I have very sporadic service...
and they still haven't come out
to work on the problem out back.

So...I'm taking an 'internet vacation'...

I cannot tell you how frustrating these past few weeks
have been!
(my service has never been what I pay for)
...you mean to tell me I'm paying THAT much for THIS service...
doesn't really 'move' anyone at the cable office..

so..for my own 'peace of mind'...
I'm going to quit 'fighting my internet' until it is
finally repaired and will stay on longer
than 20 minutes at a time!

I will respond to any convos...emails...etc..
as and 'if' I can...
if not..I'll get back to you sometime after the 18th!

'YART' Sale on Etsy

So, "what", you say, "is a 'YART' Sale?"

There are many art museums, artists, and groups that have yart sales annually to raise cash. The first 'annual YART' sale was held on Etsy last year, by the Etsy Suppliers Street Team.

This year it has been extended to any shop who wishes to participate.
Originally, I was going to end my sale on the 10th...and discovered the 'YART' sale would be held from the 10th to the 14th...so..I figured, 'what the heck?'

So...my sale has been extended another 5 days!
