I've added a few more new things to both my stores. The card above is in my private gallery at Greeting Card Universe for now but I also added it to the long line of cards waiting for approvals so within the next two weeks it should also be in my public gallery as long as they accept it for sale. I'll be uploading it to my Zazzle store sometime soon as well. Maybe even today since it is forecast to rain later today.

Busy Adding New Cards

I was really busy adding new cards for approval at my card store the other day. I have 130 cards in line waiting for approval at the moment. With the holiday rush though they are having so many cards come in for approval that it is taking about 2 weeks for approvals so it will be a bit of a wait until the new cards will be live and for sale on the site. I added some of them to my private gallery so you can see some of the new ones now if you go to the private gallery. It just doesn't get picked up by search engines so I don't really use it that often. Anyone can purchase from the private gallery though if you would like to.

Here are some cards you might like:



















I'll share some of the new ones once they go live for sale. I have a few Thanksgiving ones waiting for approval. I know I am running late for them and should have been designing several months ahead of time. I also have some any occasion ones in line for approval. I will probably design some more cards of some kind today as well since it is rainy outside.

Wow! Is This For Real?

I sold 500 greeting cards yesterday. I still can't believe it.



I am so happy. Misha is happy too. I gave her some extra goat treats last night and told her she is famous now. I think the other goats are a bit jealous but I told them that someday their photos would sale on cards as well.

I haven't taken any photos of the goats recently. As soon as this cloudy rainy weather moves on I think I'll take some more goat photos.

Many New Items at my Zazzle Store

I was able to add many new items to my Zazzle store today. They vary from my photography to digital art on aprons, mugs, greeting cards, bags, tees, and more.

I did some Keep Calm and Carry On digital art recently. I know that it seems to be everywhere these days but I love the words so I decided to create some of my own art using an image from the public domain I found and digitally altered into my various creations.

Here are some other versions I made with the "Keep Calm and Carry On" verse.

New Cards

I'm waiting on several new cards to be approved for sale over at Greeting Card Universe. Strange thing though is that one I just uploaded yesterday was already approved while ones I made several days ago are still waiting. Oh, well. One of these days they will also be in the store. This photo is from a dear friend, Melanie, that I met at the Farmers Markets this summer. She sent it to me and told me I could use it. Thanks, Melanie. :)

Here is a Halloween card in my store. A photo I took last autumn.



More cards will be in the store soon, I hope. My fingers are crossed. I'm going to be going to one of the last Farmers Markets of the season tonight. Once they are done for the season I will have more time and will create some new photography and digital art for my stores. I love to be busy during the summer and autumn but I also love the slower season of winter when I can play around more with digital art as we spend more time indoors.

Have a great day! I'll try to post more later this week.

More New Items

I've been busy outdoors the past couple of days but I did get some of the photos I took this past weekend uploaded into the store.

Teasel Sunset by angelandspot

I took this photo as the sun was setting on the Hoover Trail in Morning Sun, Iowa on Sat. evening. I know Teasel is a weed but I thought it was pretty as the sun was setting. It used to be used in floral arrangements and they say that is how it spread as a weed.

I took this during the fall festival in Bentonsport, Iowa.

I have one of the last Farmers Markets of the year tonight. I counted up and after tonight between the two markets I go to I'll only have 4 more nights at Farmers Markets until next year. Hopefully since the weather is so nice lots of people will be out at the market but I also know that a lot of the farmers are still busy bringing in the harvest and so that means that they are too busy to make it to the market. I made a few more collages yesterday that will be available for sale at the Farmers Markets. Maybe if I am lucky I will sale some more items at the markets this year. Well I better get busy I need to take some photos of some vintage bird cards I got at an antique store recently and also work on my store some before the market tonight. I'm going to leave a bit early and also check out a book sale before the market. Maybe there will be some great bargains there. I'd love to find a few more vintage children's books with chickens in them.

Busy Weekend

Had a busy but fun weekend enjoying the nice summer-like temps. Yesterday I went on a drive and took a ton of photos. Today I added some new items to the store.


Here are some of the newest items in the store.

I met a cute little frog on Sat. at a nature area. I picked him/her up and took a few photos and then released it back to the wild unharmed. I went looking for the Pelicans I had seen the day before at the nature area but they had already flown the coop on their fall migration to warmer areas. I did see plenty of frogs and other wildlife though. I need to get a telephoto lens for the camera someday as several of the birds were just too far away to get any good photos with the lens I have.

Harvest Time

It's harvest time. All the farmers are out with the combines in the fields around here. It is so dusty but at sunset it looks pretty. I took some sunset harvest photos last night and am going to be adding them to the store soon.

Here are some of the harvest photos already in the store. Some of them are from this year and some of them are from last year.

Loving To Create

I'm loving taking photos and creating new items for my Zazzle store. I've created some more new posters, greeting cards, and calendars the past few days.

I'm not sure what kind of flower this is but I thought it was really pretty. Sadly it did not last very long when I cut it and brought it in to be put in a vase and enjoyed in the house. It is some kind of weed I know but what is called I have no clue. Any ways... I took some photos of it.

Calendars

I've added some new 2011 calendars to my store. I've kept the 2010 calendars in the store also as you can change the starting and ending months and year if you customize them so they will also work for the year 2011 also.

Please excuse the recommended for you on this one. I don't get to pick them and have no clue why nude women would be recommended to someone who likes ducks. I would think they would recommend other duck items instead. I love my Muscovy ducks so I created a calendar featuring an entire year of them for anyone who also loves Muscovy ducks.

2011 Abstract was created with photos I took of my various abstract paintings.
