THOUSANDS OF FREE BLOGGER TEMPLATES

Friday, June 27, 2008



A quick update for all those who read my blog.

I have been very busy this week. In fact so busy that I am totally exhausted.

Hubby is taking the week off from work next week. We plan on taking full advantage of this time since both boys are away. We have not had a week off to spend on just the two of us in about 17 years! I am looking forward to this time with him. I love him deepy and I feel this is exactly the kind of rest I need. I am planning on enjoying our time together strengthening our relationship and marriage.

On a side note, I have some exciting news to share.

I am in the process of working on a new adventure! I have decided to have a web page made so I can display and sell my paintings. Thanks to a wonderful friend of mine, he has agreed to build me this web site. :) I feel that God is guiding me in this adventure, and it is time to make a go of selling my work.

I am now trying to figure out prices on all my work, as well as how to go about finding a company that can copy my paintings as well as put my work on special items. I have been trying to plan out exactly what I want to sell on this site. I am thinking of selling a limited number of copies on each painting, as well as having copies made in various sizes. I need to decide on whether the prints should be on canvas, poster paper or even both. I would like to make prints on other items such as coffee cups and calenders, post cards, mouse pads, ect, i think you get the picture... I need to decide on how many copies i should make, what number i should limit the copies to. Of course on paintings not already sold or promised to other's the original will also be for sale. I have been slowly asking those who have bought a painting from me if i can make limited copies on their painting.

I would love to hear any ideas that my blogger friends have on the kinds of items you think might sell or if you were the buyer, what would you like to see sold? :) All ideas and thoughts are truly appreciated.

If any of you know of a good printing company please drop me a note at season_for_angels@yahoo.com

I am going to name my business "Spiritual Brush Strokes" Paintings by Tracy Jo.

This new adventure is very exciting for me, and I can hardly wait to get it all up and running!

That is about all that is happening in my life, as you can see I am keeping busy.



On top of all this, I have been very worried about my twin sister and her son. I have a prayer request for them both.


Things have gotten worse, and she needs all the prayers we can give her. Please pray that God will open all the doors needed for my sister and her son. Please pray that God will guide her to the right people, people who can help, and keep her son safe. I do not want to go into details, because that is for my sister to write about when she is ready, but I will say that this situation is very serious, and heartbreaking for everyone involved. Please pray that she will have the strength, courage, health, love and grace needed to deal with this situation.


Hugs and blessings sent to you all. I will write in my blog and make my blogger rounds to catch up on all of my friends blogs as soon as I come up for air and am able. Know though I care, and will do my best to make the rounds soon!
