This ACEO is titled Wahine Ekahi. Translation: Woman One
I am quite proud of this one. Done with colored pencils.

Hello - all. I haven't dropped off the face of the earth just had huge life changing events.

So into the fire I go. Whatever happens - happens.

This is an ACEO I made. My son helped and finished the flames. He thinks it rocks and -- bless his heart, wanted to buy it. Too cute.

Sorry to say - this one isn't for sale by me.

Tis great to know someone likes what I do.

Day 3 and something for Sale here

Yeah!!!! Day 3 ---

and something for sale here, too.

Yesterday was envelope dilemna day. I had finished some cards yet no envelopes to fit them in. Caught up in the excitement and joy of creating, I didn't think about how critical an envelope could be. Shopped at a few close stores but could not find envelopes to fit.

In the end, I made envelopes to fit. Trial and error, alot of time to figure out and do --- with imperfections to them - handmade. In the end, I really like these.

In celebration of Day 3, I'm offering them here. And since I am a dollar fan (who isn't), they are one dollar for all three.

That's right, 3 unique hand-made purple butterfly cards with envelopes for one dollar. AND --- if your willing I'll ship it free if you are willing to disregard how it is shipped -- meaning inexpensive route. Please email me on shipping options.

Only serious customer please contact me at: jmemademe@gmail.com

Thank you for looking --

Have a nice day!!!!

A full day of work ---

There were snah-phoos galore and my perfectionism decided to show-up, yet my first item is now in the shop. That took a full day....

Whew!!!

I can say this, having your own business is HARD work.

24 hours later...

I've got a store on Etsy and nothing - nada, zilch - is in there.

Now, that doesn't mean nothing is happening. Far from that. I've been painting, cutting, glueing, writing, and such. Researching like crazy, too.

Today, I'll be trying to finish up some paper goods to then get them posted to sell.

Yeah - leave it to me to open a business with not a single thing out there to sell.

Just goes to show you, I'm not a savy business woman. Just an average girl trying to figure it out as I go.

I did it!!!!!

Yes, that is right. I did it. I took the bull by the horns and took action today.
Opened this blog and my store open in www.etsy.com

Find me as seller - jmemademe

In the next few days I will be fiddling with both here, there, and offline to post what I create.

Sure, I could have taken a lot more time to get everything together but I've wasted so much already. Heck - I could keel over and never even started my dream.

Its been hidden too long and I've given myself so many excuses.

Enough with all that.

So, I did it. I'm out here and there.
