Over The River & Through The Woods

Red's winter walk

Over the river, and through the wood,

No matter for winds that blow,

Or if we get the sleigh upset

Into a bank of snow

-from song by Lydia Maria Child

If you are a creative-type and not yet a member of CreativeSouls.ning.com I recommend you check it out. There are all types of imaginative folks over there. Plus oodles of fun activities, promotion opportunities, and artistic challenges to get your juices flowing. CS describes itself as "A diverse gathering of creative souls, a place to help promote each other. Discover new & interesting people. ~ALL creative people welcome~"  

On other fronts, all is fine here. A family member's health scare & visit to the emergency room led to surgery, complications, and a hospital stay. But he's out of the woods now and at home recovering. This year we have lots to be thankful for!

Etsy Wise - I'm having a 20% off sale on everything at ArtSnark.etsy.com. Just enter coupon code  BLACKFRIDAY when you check out. Sale is in effect until Monday night. Many items, including all $4 ACEOs and some canvases, also ship for free worldwide.

I've also created a new section of the shop $5 Specials.  I'm trying to make some more elbow room around here so it seemed a good way to move older pieces. I will be adding new items to this section every few days. The 20% Sale Code can also be applied to $5 special pieces.

The November Random Drawing is still on! To enter simply comment on this blog before 1 a.m. (EST) on Dec. 1st. (Since the blog has been on hold, entries are light, making your odds even better.)
