Will I have time for art now?

I certainly hope so. I mean, I fully intend to keep drawing, painting, doodling, and scribbling for as long as I'm able to hold a paintbrush, pen, or pencil.
Why am I even asking this? I landed a full-time job recently and I start tomorrow, which means 40-plus hours each week will be spent at an office doing totally non-artsy things, and I'll only have about 4 hours each weekday to cram in all the things I need to do at home.
Looks like what I might have to do is make a plan. That means I might have to consider being somewhat organized. scary o-0
I suppose I can carve a little bit of art-time out of my weekends after I get all the grocery shopping, housecleaning, and laundry :)

In other news, I'm still trying to get my website exactly the way I want it. I haven't really done a whole lot to it - just messing with fonts and table background colors, really. Right now I'm tinkering around with a premade template, but I've gotten ftp settings so I just might attempt some actual coding. Somebody warn the internet ha ha.

I hope I don't break the internet....

I've finally taken the plunge, and I have set up my own website! Of course, there is still lots to be done. I keep coming up with more that I feel like I need to add, or I decide that my font is wrong, or I need to rename a page...

And setting up the website is only half of it! I've realized now that I'm trying to become "official" that I really need to pay attention to details like a Tax ID number, or sales tax. Because - who knows - I might end up having tons of sales one day and I'll need to have that stuff taken care of!

I also have been learning the ins and outs of a Google Merchant account - still have to add some things, but that'll get all set up really quickly.

aaannnd... I've listed a couple of new ACEOs in my Etsy shop:



Floating Garden


and Burst of Spring



I hope you'll come take a look at them and my other works - perhaps you'll find something to add to your collection, or perhaps you'll find a great gift for somebody special!
