Thank You

It's Cyber Monday! Whoohoo! One of my favorite days of the year.

My Etsy sale is still going strong, but I wanted to offer a special discount to those of you who follow my blog. If you use the coupon code THANKYOU you get free shipping and 35% off your order :) You can find my shop at http://www.michelemaule.etsy.com. This will be my last sale until March 2013.


Yay!

Friday!

New illustration in my Etsy shop :) "Come away with Me"

Friday is technically my Thursday, so I don't get that excited when it rolls around, but I do start thinking about what I'd like to do on my day off.

I'm not sure what our plans are for the weekend, but I'm sure it will involve digging in our year. We still have a lot of work to do and we didn't get anything done last weekend.

I also want to get some more work done on my commissioned piece. I'm looking forward to working on it!

also, I thought I would share a little sale that I'm having in my Etsy shop with you. It's buy two 8x10" prints for $30.00.

Well, I hope everyone has a great weekend!

5 Years!

One of the first paintings I listed!

Holy cow! Tomorrow is my 5 year Etsy anniversary! 5 years!

My friend Angie first introduced me to Etsy. She told me that it was this really site and that she thought my work would sell really well there. I checked it out but I didn't think I would be able to sell anything. I thought that maybe my work wasn't a good fit. I decided to set up shop there anyway, just to see what happened. It couldn't hurt right?

Well, she was right, and although the past couple of years have been a bit of a struggle,  I still enjoy being there. It's changed my life in many ways. Mostly it's introduced me to a great community of artists, jewelers, and crafters. It's also pushed me to make art. I make art almost daily and much of my motivation comes from selling on Etsy. Whether I like what I'm creating, or not, the important thing is is that I am making art. That is a very good thing.

Well, to celebrate my five years on Etsy I'm having a sale!
You can take 35% off your order tonight and tomorrow. You just use the coupon code 5YEARS when you checkout.  The sale ends tomorrow at night at 12am, so get your orders in!

Happy Weekend!

Hope everyone has a happy weekend. It's inventory where I work so I'll be counting...

Thought I'd share a little secret too.

My prints are on sale this weekend. 8x10" prints, normally $18.00 are now $10.00 and 5x7" prints normally $8.00 are $4.00.

Hope everyone is off to a good start today :)

Oh Wednesday.

This is what my day looked like...

I'm still not ready to start making art again, and I am really enjoying taking some time for myself. I feel so good about taking this time to regroup. I'm thinking maybe I'll get back into the studio next week. Maybe ;)

That's all I have for the day.
Hope you're all having a good day.

PS. I'm going to extend the sale for all of my blog readers.

Enter in "I Love Coffee" in the notes to seller, and I will send you a revised invoice. :)

Hope everyone is having a great week so far.
My weekend just started, and I'm hoping to get lots of work done. I'm also hoping to get some time to relax as well.
