You are Day 2 Winner of our 2nd Birthday Cheer Up Competition. I will be sending you $5 prize and have put up a blog post about it.

Thanks a lot for all your cheerful contributions all year as well.

Hope all goes well at the moment.

Bye for Now
Jill

Thank you for writing. I have been busy with some practical problems at home and not been able to do everything I would like with my blogs and networks like Jill's.
But I see that that you have interestng products, lovely jewellery and a ginger cat that looks like our Calle-Cat!
Best wishes
Christina WIgren (alias "Anna", "Sara" and "Tina")

Yes it is annoying when they change things and sometimes for the worse. Like the code for photos loaded in used to include clearly the width and height so you could just change the measurements easily to fit. Now there is no width or height and I don't understand the code at all so can't change it. Very annoying.

I keep yawning after being up all night and may have to have a nap this afternoon next!

Bye for Now
Jill

Relationship Status:: It's Complicated

About Me and my Creativity.: Took me years to find it, or maybe to admit to it. As a friend of mine said recently, I was positive that I was not creative/could not make art for most of my life. Nobody ever told me that if I practiced, I'd get better. Nobody ever told me that just because my art didn't look like "fine art" that I saw in museums, it was okay. Nobody ever told me that everyone is creative and has their own unique vision to share with the world.

When I read that the light went on. She said it about me as well as herself, and didn't even realize it.

I write a lot more about my creativity -- and everything else -- at my Wordpress blog.

Likes and Dislikes: Likes: Cats. Popcorn. Sleeping in. Photography. Mixing herbal concoctions. Working on my Etsy.com shop.

Dislikes: Confrontation. Bigotry. Cold feet. Asthma. Boredom.

Website:: http://omshanti.etsy.com

Do you have any disabilities that affect your creativity?: ...I guess I don't know how to define 'disability'. The asthma certainly gets in the way of things, but most of my creative work is fairly sedentary. Depression...ongoing and eternal battle, but the creativity has been pushing it back recently. That's what I got; judge as you will.

Where did you hear about Creative Cafe? If you heard about Creative Cafe from another member please say who as those recruiting most new members will win prizes.: Jill herself wandered by my other Ning page not long after I made it, and made me feel oh so comfortable...

Any other News?: I'm about to announce my Grand Opening, complete with free gifts sent with every purchase! (I was going to do it today, but I'm not awake enough to write it all up properly...)

Also looking into local craft shows and such. And a little nervous about it, too.

Yeah, I don't know when the heck I'd do it, and I think I'd do a little too much sampling of the wares. :/

Yes the candies and cookies division of Omshanti Handicrafts sounds yummy! But you are so busy already Kate!

Not quite sure I'd recommend going that far -- but I do keep thinking about going into candies!
