I'd hammer in fenceboards...
Which is what I was doing this afternoon after the dog got out....again. Silly thing. She's a big, fluffy, goofy australian shepherd and border collie mix that completely ignores me when I call her UNLESS I'm in the van with the door open.
So she got a ride to Lowe's today, and waited for me while I bought nails and lumber. Don't worry, it's a nice cool day here and I wasn't in very long. ;)
In artsy shoppy news - I have noticed something that made me realize how much even the little bit of promoting I do helps bring people to my shop:
I checked out my stats on Craftopolis and saw that, compared to the months that I wasn't promoting at all, my shop views/visits now that I'm promoting my art are triple what they were. For instance, last October my views were around 250. This month, at not even halfway through, my views number around 1000!
I'm really optimistic that eventually those views and visits are going to turn into more sales! :)

Next Time I'll Buy a Can of Tennis Balls...
Tuesday I took Lana,
my aussie/border mix, to the grooming salon at Petco, and, when I went to pick her up I decided to do a bit of shopping for toys and treats. I stopped by the dog toy aisle and found what I thought would be really great toys for Lana. She has a thing for plushies, and these seemed to be perfect. I decided on a "bone" plushie for her, and some sortof... small animal thing for Jack, my crazy little chihuahua boy.
Lana took only ten minutes to rip a hole in the bone and discover the yummy stuffing inside. Poor Mr. Small Animal lives in the kitchen trash can now.
However... two tennis ball toys that were in a sale bin marked two for $5.00 look to be withstanding the gnawing drooling dog test just fine, thank you. :)
In other news - I sent the loan paperwork in for my medical transcription/billing online school stuff yesterday. I'm hoping everything goes through soon because I've already finished the introductory class. I took the final this afternoon - it was somewhat easy, so I'm hoping I aced the class. :) After the papers go through to the finance office my other classes should be "unlocked". I already have quite a few of my textbooks that I ordered on amazon.com a week or so ago, so I'm ready!
