- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

Christmas is over, and Crafting for Profit is back!
For the next couple of weeks I'm going to be talking about having a sale. (The picture is merely indicative -- I am having a sale at the moment, but not that one. :) There's a lot more to it than…
Kate,
What a great weekend you had! And what a wonderful idea to give away free Christmas trees. I love how it looks!
Have yourself a very Merry Christmas!

I'm planning on napping next week -- possibly _all_ week, if the cold that's been lurking finally hits. I don't get to hibernate, alas, between big Christmas sales and then the huge show in February -- by the time that's over it's almost time to wak…
Awwwwww, the boys look soooo sleepy! I want a long winter's nap, too! That's great that you've been so busy. Maybe I should have another sale and see if I can spur some more sales. Although I haven't posted anything new in the store for awhile becau…
...so yeah, I've been a little busy. Too busy to post too much, alas, though that should change in a few days. But I have had a LOT of orders to pack up and ship out, and I have y'all to thank! I have the bestest customers in the world.
Today is yo…

Glad sales are going well for you but you must be tired being so busy again! But then again you are always busy Kate! I will believe your 2 week sleep when I see it!
Yes you have written some good sales guides which should help the new sellers. I know jewelery is competitive with a lot of sellers. I'm sure your advice will be much appreciated anyway.
Yes things here are ticking along. Hopefully the decorations will go up this weekend which will cheer things up. I was sulking at the cold rainy gloomy weather the other day and wanted to book a sunshine holiday just to get away from the winter. But the mood passed... Still have some gift buying to do yet though so it isn't all organised.
Anyway try not to work too hard Kate!
Bye for Now

How are you? How are sales? Are you rushed off your feet at the moment? In case you get a moment Ann Rose is a new member and is looking for members to talk to about jewelery making in the Salesrooms group at the moment. I mention it to you because you are so good at being friendly. But I know you are probably very busy right now.
The time seems to be going by so quick as well. Only a few weeks to the holidays. I am going to put some decorations side pictures up on the Mainpage and my page soon.
Bye for Now
Jill
