Getting There

I spent a week in Scottsdale, recently, completing some real estate classes for license renewal.  I stayed at my son's house.  He took a few minutes (literally) to make my website look similar to my blog, Etsy Shop, and FB Fan page.  It isn't beautiful, but matches.  Now I will begin to design something and won't have to feel like I have to hurry up and get it done!  I did get a little tired of sitting at the computer so many hours recently building all of these projects.  Then, after spending 3 full days of sitting in classes, I surely am tired of sitting! 

Also, I need to find time to paint during all of this.  That only entails more sitting!  LOL.  I did have the opportunity to work in the yard this afternoon.  That was my exercise for the day.  Now, back to the computer again.

Change

Wow, I am on a quest.  I have opened an Etsy Shop.  It's lovely.  I am trying to redesign my blogs, my Facebook Fan Page, and my website to all be similar to my Etsy Shop.  This has turned out to be quite the ordeal!  I have had a blog for a couple of years and my website for over 10 years.  I had never thought of having them matchy matchy before.  Since I like what I have seen with several other shop owners, I have taken up the venture.  It has proven to be a great, but fun, challenge. 

My original website was first built by my son who was probably about 16 or 17 at the time.  He has changed the design of it for me several times over the years.  Now he is married and has a family, so I believe it is time for me to figure this out for myself.  Unlike my son, my coding skills are enormously limited so, I will be using website design software.  Art in all it's forms, be it painting, crochet, sewing, card making, web design, it's all FUN to me! 

My Etsy Shop is open although it is rather empty at the moment.  My blog is currently being created.  My Facebook Fan Page is viewable.  My website is next in line for creation.  I look forward to you joining me in this marvelous new journey.
