Polymer Peeps and Link

I am still working away on my updated version of “Profit with Your Passion”, so there is no new sale this week. There is however one that expires tomorrow, “Polymer People”, a bundle of three for $19.49.

A friend was looking in a craft magazine and showed me interesting vintage images. They mentioned a person could download them. So later that day, when online I moseyed to the site. I was VERY impressed. While looking at the image collections and lessons, I kept telling myself “THIS is how I wished I had the time to present image collections.”

Everyone and their brother seems to be listing image collections of some sort on their sites. But IMO these are people that are doing it the ideal way! So they, of course, are my interesting site the week.
http://www.thevintageworkshop.com/

I am also proud to say that AFTER being impressed, I discovered they are from my area of the country. According to their site they are located in Kansas City, about 125 miles from my location.

Artist How To 2008 Goals and Looking Back at 2007

Today is December 30th and naturally I have been thinking about the activity at AHT over the past year. So here is a brief list;

• Polymer Palette eBook Editions; Heads, Hands and Feet
• PolymerPeople.com Page/Site Added
• Polymer Clay Fall Projects
• Total of Free Lessons and Tutorials increased to 75
• New Image Collections
• Blog look changed and RSS option added
• Gift Certificates available
• ETSY Shop
• Sales from site, in November and December at an all time high!
• Advertised in publications
• Articles in various publications including Polymer Cafe

A more personal thing for me, I grew my own cotton here in my home garden. I took photos along the way to document the process. ‘Will Art For Food’

Some of the AHT Goals for 2008

• Redo site - make slicker and user friendly - definite plan by Jan 14
• Double Advertising Budget
• More Free Lessons and Tutorials
• Polymer People Torso

Personal Goals for 2008

• Run a 5k
• Get in good enough shape to run 5k and not die
• Spend more time doing nothing
• Spend extra time with Hawkeye (dog)
• Stick to a regular work schedule
• Spend money wise
• Be nicer to my fellow humans
• Give more away
• Be decisive
• Play

So there you have it! Before we know it it will be 2008 and we will all start with a clean slate. Let’s forget all the old baggage and live the life that before we were only wishing we had.

This is it, no trial runs, no practice. So let’s make 2008 the best yet!!

Diane

Interesting Link

One blog that I check regularly is Ally Carter’s. Although not a visual artist, she is a successful local author. By successful, I mean recently making the New York Times Best Seller List, impressive companies purchasing the movie rights to her books, and just an all around nice person.
