June Update

I have been SWAMPED with "real" work (the whole working non-stop) but I'll be leaving my second job at Waldo flea market at the end of the month so I'll be FREE to pursue my art!
I have entered to be part of a craft festival in December so I am keeping my fingers crossed that I'm accepted!
I will be removing my free e-book from my storefront at lulu at the end of next week so if you want a copy- now's the time.

Just create an account and click download- easier than Amazon!
I have also added new calendars: http://stores.lulu.com/victoria_masters and I am creating a bunch of interest pages at www.squidoo.com (a great way to drop and drag information and present pictures, etc).

June update

What have I been up to?
Long time, no post... I know.
I am in the middle of 5 weeks of double day shifts at my second job- which means I work M-F and then I work Saturday and Sunday at my second job, then work M-F etc.
It's almost an unbearable amount of fun! Anything for the moolah I guess. I have, however, put in notice at Waldo (my second job) so after June 30th I'm outta there. I am getting a position upgrade at my primary job (read: more work) so there is no way I can do both, and keep what little sanity I have left intact!
I have been spending at least a portion of my mornings working on my website. It's now on it's third revision and hopefully I'll have gotten the hang of this whole html thing by the end of August (all set for calendar season to kick in) and the tags and search engines and everything else. Can you say inexperienced? I can.
I'm planning on a trip down to see my dad next week (because I HAVE to get some time off) and so hopefully I'll have enough pictures to complete another calendar project!
In case ANYONE is interested:
My holiday book: http://www.lulu.com/content/838507
My website: http://www.victoriamastersart.com
I would love feedback on the website- does everything load? Do the links work? Obviously it's a BIG work in progress but I am trying to at least start on it. On the upside, I can now make my business cards and enter them all over town for free crap.
