I tried to stay away from blogging as I am so busy working full time, trying to make art, teaching classes, and selling a few pieces, meanwhile trying to survive this economy we are all a part of. I decided hmm- I do need an outlet for some of my darker thoughts and feelings, my darker poetry, ideas, and brutal honesty- maybe even an art project or two. (Okay, maybe a little sarcasm and a sense of humor thrown in.) I am not writing in this digital journal to see how many followers I have, to win any prizes, or to be the Blogger of the Month or whatever, I simply am using it as an outlet to express myself. My website, Altered By Design, is still the main source of my art business and is where most of my artwork is shown.<br /><br />SOUND OFF (I decided to give you a warning just in case you don't want to see my groaning and complaining. Every time you see SOUND OFF just skip it and go to the next entry (I'm sure, it will be much brighter and happier.)<br /><br />So, okay- I got a website - now here comes Twittering or Tweeting- whatever it's called! How do all these people have the time to do all this? Then there's the ever popular cell phone- which has become a television, computer, phone book, and heaven knows what else! I now have a website, an Etsy site, an Artfire site and now a blog. I have no life but I do have all these things!<br /><br />Well- I guess I do have a life- this IS my life~<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2967875943130802146-2800986683705706611?l=kreativespirit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Carolnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967875943130802146.post-48989852715157615632009-06-22T18:45:00.000-07:002009-06-22T18:52:41.997-07:00<span style="font-family: times new roman;">Blog design by Tiffany, of "Tiffany Jane" Very reasonable pricing and a joy to work with- You can find her on Etsy, and on Artfire too!
