commenting on my experience with Blogger.com

January 21, 2011

I have been really thinking of starting another blog and using Blogger.com because they have tons of artists and its easy to follow their blogs.  But I just can not commit and the reason is their comment process.  So many times and I really wish all my fellow bloggers that use blogger, know how many comments you miss because Blogger makes it so hard to process a simple comment without jumping thru a million hoops. All to leave words of encouragement, or kudos, or just a hello, nice to find your site. But not with Blogger.com   I was just now making a comment and when I got to the post comment part I used wordpress and accedently hit the return key before everything was typed in and my whole comment vanished before I even realised what had happened..  I know I should have been paying more attention, but come on, this happens more times than not.  yuck

Here is the subject that another Blogger was posting about and how fun her post was.  A beautiful wooden chair that had been in the family forever, she had inherited it and painted it shiny black with pink and orange stripe cushions.  How fun,….. so I thought I would post a scan of a sketch I did of my favorite chair years ago.

My Green Chair

Now I need to go back and find that post.  Wish me luck

How about this one?  I darkened it in photoshop

this image isn’t perfect and it’s not clickable, but hopefully you get the idea of  some of the awesome art over there.  Hopefully you will check it out, please spread the link and comment if you please.  The more clicks and view it gets, the more likely it would get noticed for the front page of Etsy.

And if you feel like buying I know the artist would greatly appreciate it

did I tell you?

April 5, 2010

One day last week, while with a friend, I was reminded of a blessing I was taught by a another wonderful friend named Ken:

“Riches

of all sorts

flow easily into my

life

from expected and unexpected

sources….”

Within months of believing and saying this over and again, to myself, I met my mate, Len, 4 years ago this month.  When times are different  I think of this blessing and say it outloud.    I also write it down for friends.

So …. talking with my friend last week I wrote one out for her and I started using it again.  And I have sold my watercolours.  First there was one:

Linda’s Rose #3


A friend named Jane saw my link to FaceBook and didn’t know I painted, loved them, asked when we could meet up, and bought 2 more:

Little Bunch of California Poppies


and also she just had to have a pony painting (horses):

Ponies in the Meadow


She’s in the Animal Business of training horses, dogs and consults about dolphins.  Check out her web site sometime.

So I’ve been using this wonderful blessing:

“Riches

of all sorts

flow

easily into my life

from

expected and unexpected

sources”.

Today as I’m leaving our grocery store I see Jane again and she wants another ‘Linda’s Rose’.

Yeah and thank you so very much……..

Peace n Abundance,

CheyAnne


Two sales, Two birthdays, One Treasury, One Blog write-up

February 25, 2010

that I’m a part of today.  What an incredible, AWESOME, fantastic day it’s been.

First off it’s my Sweet-Pea’s birthday today.  She, my daughter turned 26 on this birthday.  I am so very proud of her courage and grace.  What a life so far, huh Rachael?

Doing a check of my sites for the day and found out I sold my second painting, Calif Poppy to Linda whose blog Shoreacres  I know through our blogs.  An incredible writer whose words put you right into that moment, and makes you feel as if you lived or are living it at the moment she is describing.  I love how it all flows together so elegantly.  check out her blog  and you’ll be hooked. California Poppy, Watercolour Original

Thank you Linda very, very much for all the wonderful encouragement.

It is also our friend Kenny’s 47th birthday which he, his wife Alison, my honey Leonardo and I celebrated at Eske’s Brew Pub, here in Taos New Mexico tonight.
Then when we get home this evening I find out that I sold another,

Apple Blossom's of Spring

my third original watercolor painting  to Lauren, who I come to find out bought my first original watercolour ‘Linda’s Rose’#1 a few weeks back (#2 is still avaialbe ) .  Thank You so Very much Lauren. ( I would send people your way if I could).

When I check my convo’s I find out that Shannon from The CleverKitty has not only posted a blog write-up about Iris’ , but she included my ‘Purple Popsicle Iris’ in this beautiful mix (which is still for sale).

Purple Popcicle Iris

and she snagged a treasury as well, and included my Purple Popsicle again

Iris Treasury 2.24.10which expires this Saturday afternoon.  so get on over there and check it out.  Awesome handmade goods from around the world.

I am so blessed.

p.s oh yeah our Dark Raspberry Chocolates arrived from VintageConfections and we gave the little truffle sampler to Kenny for his birthday.

and I have much Abundance
