I'm better today.

At my age, you would think that I would know

better than to have any expectations about anything

as 'iffy' as online art sales.

If I were selling Wiis..iPods..or any one of a number

of 'hot selling' items online...I might have reason to

complain...

But, I'm better today. I've decided

that I'm going to have to take on some other kind

of work...to supplement my art business.

I haven't had to worry about this for the past four

years...but, I guess...we're in a recession

and hopes and wishes don't pay the bills.

With that said...yes, the amount of new artwork that I

am able to list in my CMZ Art Etsy Shop

and in Rustic Goth and

Pendants Plus

will all be affected.

I've decided to run the current sales...in all three shops...until after

Christmas.

Then, between Christmas and the first of next year...

I'll put everything in all three shops back to their regular prices.

I won't be spending as much time, the rest of this year, working

on new projects for any of the shops..as I will need to spend that time, instead,

on new employment endeavors.

I will keep completely current on correspondence..

through the Etsy Shops conversations (I only check my email--since

I have several--about once a week.)

and I'll remain current on all packing and shipping.

I'm going to take on a couple part-time positions...which will leave

plenty of time for everything I would have to do

that is shop(s) related.
