Still Learning

Day two creating this blog. I've added some gadgets and played around with the colors, still more to do till I'm satisfied. I'm sure it will be a work in progress.
Worked late writing last night, book coming along nicely. (At least I'd like to think so.) The title eludes me still. Have a lot of possible titles written down, but I'm sure when I'm done the right one will jump out at me. This is unusual for me, because in most cases, the title will come to me first and I can work off that. Hmmm, something to think about.
I'll be updating my online gifts shops also soon. Different holidays bring new ideas for me. Earth Day is coming, and if you have an Earth Day birthday, check out this design. It also comes on many gifts.
Earth Day Birthday

Have a great evening!

Welcome!

Writing has been a love of mine for as long as I can remember, but the funny part is, when I sat down to start a blog - I didn't know what to write! What I can say today, is that I'd like to talk mostly about designing and writing and just anything creative. I'm the type of person who likes to try new things, that's why I've ended up with so many interests. 

I have a few print on demand shops where I sell my designs on t-shirts and gifts. This has turned out to be a fun adventure for me. Sometimes I'll incorporate something from my life, or current events into my designs. (Like my collection of weight loss and fitness designs.) Or more recently, the disaster in Japan has led me to create designs that hopefully are inspirational. 

Most of the time, and I say most, my designs have extra meaning for me personally. But some of the time, a cigar is just a cigar, and they are just plain silly or fun. In any case, having the ability to create something from nothing and make a little extra money on the side has opened up all kinds of possibilities for me. 

I've been a poet since early childhood. And now I have the ability to share my poems in the form of greeting cards and gift boxes and the like. That makes my day whenever one of those is sold! My newest adventure will involve self publishing for the Kindle. Currently I have two books in the works, one; a collection of original inspirational poetry, the other; a fun paranormal time travel story. Like I said, I have many interests, it's hard to pick just one!
