Juggling Too Many Saucers

I know I am getting really behind on blogging.  I am finding that I am juggling so many things at once that I start feeling like I need to pull in the reins and re-focus.  So I select one thing and put most of my attention on it for a while, and then all the other saucers I have spinning start to slow down and fall off.  Then it’s playing catch-up and I start to go a little crazy.

Have you ever had that happen to you?  I am a few days behind in my 100 in 100 challenge too.  However, I feel confidant that I can catch up with that. I am actually up to painting # 88 and I believe it is day 94 today.  I know there have been days that I painted 3 or 4, so that won’t be a problem.  Hard to believe, though that the 100 days are almost over!!

Today I have posted detail images of 5, though, so as not to overwhelm you.  Tomorrow I will post the other 5.  Then I need to paint more so I don’t miss out on the 100 day mark. I really would love to achieve that, especially when I am this close.

One of the things that has pulled my attention away from blogging and painting the last few days has been creating my Facebook Business / Fan page for Spirit Essence Art, and getting the word out to get fans for it. Apparently, when one has achieved a following of over 100 fans, Facebook will allow you to have your own name without the long string of assigned numbers behind it.  That is good so people can remember it and also good for search engine rankings.  I am asking all of you who aren’t already fans to please click the link here for Spirit Essence Art Fan Page and click the box that will make you a fan of my page.  I promise I will never inundate your Facebook profile with a lot of promotional stuff.

As a thank you for doing this, I will be adding in shortly a coupon code for all of my fans for a super discount on my artwork.  That is, as soon as I figure out how to do that on Facebook!  I still have a lot to learn there.

You may notice that on my Spirit Essence Art Kiosk page (as well as on my personal profile page) there is a tab that shows you my entire Artfire store (it will say Artfire Kiosk), and anyone can purchase my items right there without even having to leave Facebook!

That’s it for today. I have a few other things I need to do, so I’ll keep this post short.  Well, kind of short. Have a fabulous day!

Creatively Yours In Spirit,

Arlene

Hi Arlene,

I popped over to become a fan but I'm not a member of Facebook. Gosh, who gets the time for that?

Love these paintings.

I know exactly what you mean about juggling saucers. You really amaze me with all the things you do.
