A Wonderful World

I must apologize to everyone who faithfully reads this blog. Between the inturruption Hurricane Gustav caused in my daily routine, and some increadible stress in my day job, I haven't updated this blog in a week, or responded to any comments. I really do apologize, but a new week is here, and I hope to do better. Onward and upward...

I am participating in the Etsy for Animals Team Birthday Bash at A Wonderful World. In celebration of the Team's birthday, from September 15-30, shops on the team will be accepting a coupon good for 20% off your entire purchase! Use code "WORLD" when checking out with A Wonderful World, or any store accepting the coupon. Check out the instructions on how to use your discount, and look for stores participating in the EFA Birthday Bash. The store with top sales will have $50 donated to their favorite animal charity. (My chosen charity in Big Cat Rescue.) Check it out and help the animals!

And an update from Friday -- we broke down and bought the Wii.  Once I talked my husband into wanting one, that was the end of it.  My arms are sore from boxing with him last night.

For the entire month of August, all notepads are 30% off at A Wonderful World.  These cute little 3x3 notepads are handmade by yours truly, and feature one of my original photos on the cover. They hold 50 sheets of your favorite self-sticky paper.  Stock up on stocking stuffers!  Beat the Christmas rush!

Those of you who read my blog regularly have watch me fail miserably at blogging at least every weekday. I've decided to take back some of my time (and actually spend some time working!). Beginning next week, I'll be updating on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Hope y'all won't miss me too much!

Don't forget, notepads are 30% off at A Wonderful World in August. It's a perfect time to start stocking up for Christmas!

For the entire month of August, all notepads are 30% off. These cute 3x3 booklets contain 50 self-stick notes and feature a print of one of my original photographs. These make great stocking stuffers!

I'm having a hard time blogging lately. I can't seem to think of things to blog about. But I think I've diagnosed the cause - it's just too darn hot! I discovered this at 7:00 am this morning when it was already 80 degrees outside. I usually don't mind the summertime, but right now its just too hot, there's nothing but reruns on TV, and I'm ready to go to Las Vegas in September. So I guess I'm just gonna whine about it here.

For those of you who are already shopping for Christmas presents, the Christmas in July section at A Wonderful World will only be available for 2 more days. 25% off regular prices. You can also find cards and notepads featuring my photos that make perfect stocking stuffers.

Stay cool!

...and with it, the Christmas in July sale at A Wonderful World. Everything in that section is 25% off, but only through the end of July. So hurry in and stock up early for Christmas!

Now at A Wonderful World, you can purchase any 3 prints of the same size for the price of two. It's like getting one for free! Make your own grouping of three butterflies, frame a triptych of tractors, or find prints to give as gifts.

I LOVE France. It's a tremendous inspiration for my creativity. And today is Bastille Day! So to honor this holiday, here's a special offer for A Wonderful World. Today only, get 50% off everything in the store. That's right, everything, including photos in the Christmas in July section. Use the code BASTILLEDAY.

Here's how this works. Put your item in your cart and complete the etsy check out. In your notes to seller, enter your code, as well as the size print you are ordering. DO NOT PAY WITH PAYPAL. Wait until I send you a revised Paypal invoice, which will reflect the 50% discount.

Happy Bastille Day, especially to the French readers out there!

Like I mentioned in my last post, I'm off this weekend to Redondo Beach, California to attend a conference for my real job. Between travel for work, visiting family, and vacation, sometimes it feels like I'm never at home. Traveling a lot sure SOUNDS fabulous, but really it just makes me tired. Plus I hate all the time I spend away from my husband and kitty cat.

On the upside, the travel gives me the opportunity to flex my creative muscle and take pictures of new places. That is the part I always look forward to.

So, between the trip and the Fourth of July holiday, I probably won't be blogging much next week. But my free shipping offer is still good here, though shipping my take an extra couple of days. And I'm getting the shop ready to participate in Christmas in July over at etsy. Stay tuned for more details on that.

I hope everyone has a great holiday.

So it's happened after all! I'm featured today on a blog:

Check it out! And the very first person to convo me on etsy with the name of my favorite football team receive something very special with their purchase.

OK, so apparently the BIG THING I posted about earlier isn't happening today. I'm really bummed, too, 'cause I was looking forward to it. Making my first sale on etsy would cheer me up, so I'll do a promotion anyway for all you loyal readers out there.

Anyone who can name this fabulous, most adorable kitty below will get 25% off any purchase at A Wonderful World. That's in addition to the free shipping special going on in June. Simply enter in his name in the notes to seller section, and I'll send an updated invoice with 25% off your order!

Over the past couple of days, I've made some more photos available on my etsy shop:
