PS- have a big influx of stock coming in over the next week. Have some stuff from day to day over the last few weeks I am finally getting time to process

032709- Wanted to take a little bit of time to give a little life update today. The last month or two has been full of a great deal of growing for me. A couple of things have come up that very much put into perspective that it is time to grow a little more.
My artwork is growing and changing, I know how to do so much more than I used to. In the last 2 weeks I have been asked to help three different people with logos, web design and advertising. The first two times I dabbled and did it for fun, I realized the third time hey maybe someone is trying to tell me something here. Maybe I have grown enough that this isn't so much to dabble anymore. So, after realizing I was serious, some minor freaking out I got my hiney in gear.
I discussed the third offer and put together a proposal. One that is being considered for a 2 page center ad in a small business magazine. They seem pretty happy and I am now just waiting to hear whether its a go or not.
I learned- I can really do this. I am ready. I don't have to give up what I love to be able to do this, I was able to do it right here from home while taking care of my family (kids are on spring break- LOL nothin like working while being bumped repeatedly by a pack of foam sword fighting boys)
So- I am going legit. Looking into classes, what it will take to set this up as a small business and getting ready to start taking freelance work.
I am pretty excited! PS didn't get that photoshoot I mentioned yesterday in but should get it in tommorow

03/26/09 jumpin in touchin base and saying, things are going a little better this week. Our xbox did die and I am mourning its passing...but on the upside its spring break and the munchkins are home and begging to help do some more stock. So assuming things go well tommorow I might get in a photo session

03/11/09 Thanks in advance for your patience. I am doing a bunch of rearranging of the stock I have faved. A bunch will be being removed from one place and put in another

I have decided to seperate details stock and buildings/structures into two different folders
03/10/09 I have gotten a couple of requests lately for me to get back to posting model stock. I wanted to give you guys a little update on what was going on with me. no excuses, no complaints about being asked... just a bit of a life update by way of explanation.
This last year has been really really rough. It started with a family member showing up at my door the victim of domestic abuse- that led to months of extra house guests, lots of calls to the police and several court dates. Once we finally got the people out of our house and things a bit back to normal my computer died so I was on a forced break there. Then I got back to being able to post etc and I got the news that a close family member has been diagnosed with cancer.
Long story short- its been really traumatic. I have been fighting depression, a freaking cold from hades that keeps coming back and in general feeling uninspired/ crappy about myself.
I am finally getting back into the swing of things, feeling a little better about me and the world around me so i am trying to get back to doing stock. Thank you all for your understanding and patience while I get it back together.

this month by me with my stock-

03/0209- Ok so I was gonna go with shake your shamrocks but it just doesn't suit my mood at the moment. What have I learned today
a. When I am sick I am whiney and I have no willpower
b. Its really hard to sleep after being whacked in the head with a 6 foot wooden staff
maddness, the decent into maddness, the turn of phrase your mad. I can't tell you how many times I have had people tell me I am crazy for the questions I come up with or the strange ideas I get. I have always looked at the world around me or the social situations a little differently than other people. Lets see if I can work that to my advantage these days.
