welcome to my world

Hey how are you all?  I know I said I was going to post more but
time seems to have slipped away, and here it is almost two weeks later.  
This morning I have already made a batch of muffins, and showered and dressed and its 10:00 am, usually I like to hang around in my pj's till noon. But today is a busy day, going to make some art in the studio, pick up the shopper at the airport.  She and
her husband are returning from their Christmas trip to Palm Springs.  They have had outstanding nice weather, they are in for
a surprise here the weather is cold and snowy.

I have been doing more research and taking some webinars for selling on etsy.  Who knew it took such a lot of work to sell in your store.  If you don't have the right words for the search engine you don't get seen.  So now I am going back over all my art in my etsy shop and changing the words, and my titles of my art.  The longer

the titles the better for you.

I am linking today to paint party http://paintpartyfriday.blogspot.ca/

hello 2018

well 2017 was quite a year, I am looking forward to 2018 with lofty goals and high hopes.

2017 brought to me many unexpected gifts 

I sold 3 pieces of art

I was short listed to sell my art in our new Museum , didn't get

selected but was happy to be shortlisted. 

Joined an art journal group, that I found some new friends in

Travelled to Phoenix with friends for 10 days, and had a fabulous

time

Travelled with the hubster to Ottawa, as well as went and stayed at a cabin the Muskoka, with family and just enjoyed the water and

the company

Went on a car trip with the hubster through the rockies, and travelled to Vancouver and had beautiful weather.  Saw many old friends and relatives

Fell in the bathtub and bruised my ribs

opened my ETSY shop and bought my domain name of

artleekreations

went to a few good movies, and a few stinkers

did not blog enough - 2018 will blog more

lost and gained weight

read some great books

created some good and bad art

and I know more happened but cant remember what else so I am

looking forward to 2018.  I turn a milestone birthday age in March

which I am not looking forward to but have created a 20 item

bucket list that I want to accomplish by the end of 2018.  

so lets all get busy and have a great and wonderful 2018

Happy New Year
