New look for my Zazzle Shop

I've got a new look and a handful of new items

in my CMZ Art Zazzle Shop.

I'm loving the new iPhone cases...

this case...

'Serenity Prayer'

just seemed appropriate.

It's one of my favorites.

Skittle Update...

Since I spend so much time trying to teach my 'baby'
acceptable behavior...
I've got all kinds of stories I could tell.

I really do love this little 'sweetie'...
see
sometimes she's not really much of a 'sweetie'...
but I love her even at those times.

The first couple of times I took her outside...
she was just having 'none' of it.
She wouldn't venture more than six inches away from my feet.

NOW...it's a whole different matter.
Problem is...I 'should' have a completely fenced in back yard
but I don't.

My darned neighbor decided to redo his fence...last summer/fall.
And it's still not done.
He wanted my landlord to allow the fence guys to drive their
trucks over my back yard...and my landlord said 'no'.
So..instead...parts of my back fence were 'moved'
so they could get back to my neighbors fence.
But..because there is only a concrete wall with poles
sticking out of it...
they won't put the fence back until his fence is done
So....Jaime and I took Skittles out the very first really nice day...
and it turns out...she now LOVES the outdoors.
She runs around in circles, rolls through the leaves
and tries to find a way to 'vex' me.
She found it...the little bit of fence behind my garage..
unbeknownst to me...
had also been removed...
and Skittles found it.

My gosh...she was nearly to the road before I caught her!!
I really wished my neighbor would hurry up and get his darned fence
put up...he's beginning to irritate me:(

New Character Paintings

I've painted some new 'character' paintings that just

don't seem to "fit in" on my

Rustic Goth Etsy site...

even though that's where I have a couple of them

listed, at the moment.

This painting is titled...'Poppy'

and she's painted as an OSWOA

'Original Small Work of Art'

on a 4.5 x 6" piece of Acrylic Paper.

I also have 'Sunflower'

and one still untitled...featuring the little girl and a little boy.

As soon as I have some canvas paintings

finished...to replace them..

I will be pulling the new character paintings

from my Rustic Goth Shop and putting them in my

CMZ Art Bonanza Shop.

I like doing these little pieces...

I just need to find them the right 'home'.

In this New Year

I'm working, as I can, on my

CMZ Art Bonanza Shop.

It will be the only place exclusive to my

'sweet' CMZ Art pieces.

I don't have many items in the shop at this time...
since I'm working primarily on getting new items in my
Rustic Goth Shop first.

I'm pretty happy with how things are going there,
so I've begun working on new items for
my CMZ Art Shop.

I've listed some new 'positive thoughts' posters...
and some of my 'cute' characters.
I will be painting some new character pieces, working on
new posters, and filling this shop
with pieces that are exclusive to it.

I'm actually very excited about what all I have planned there!

Happy New Year --- 2011

Merry Christmas

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!!

The rest of the Year!

I'm taking the rest of the year 'off'...

I'll be doing minimal work..

shipping..renewing..relisting...

but that's about it.

I really need to enjoy the Season and my Family...

so I'm cutting the stress by keeping myself off the internet

as much as possible...

so I can enjoy life in 'real time'.

It will also give me a chance to take my time and do a bit

of 'creating' for the new year.
