Google Yourself...

I never thought about doing this until after this March, I started selling my artwork online. That was way before I ever started a blog...didn't really even know what that was at the time. I checked around every once in awhile to make sure my real estate listings were showing as they were supposed to, but that was about it. A month of so after beginning this adventure in online sales, I checked and took up 2 pages...didn't know if that was good or bad, but before that, there was ever only 2 or 3 lines. I looked today (under kellyvanhook, no space) and this was what I saw... Results 1 - 10 of about 2,840 for kellyvanhook. (0.13 seconds)! What a hoot - 2,840 links to me??? That's just too cool...if I hit my name with a space in it, this is what I received: Results 1 - 10 of about 85,300 for kelly vanhook. (0.29 seconds) - now all of these are not me...I'm not a track star that I'm aware of, but I am nestled here in there between them all...you never know who may find you out in the internet world! It's also a good way to make sure your name doesn't come up somewhere it doesn't need to...

1st Online Sales!!!

Well today is Saturday and thank the lord above, no rain! We have been inundated with it and it has kept us all inside! A beautiful day is brewing, albeit a little windy, but that's ok! Alot of our state has had flooding and tornado damage but luckily, our area has faired well - we have been very lucky. I have been inside with my etsy and cafe press shops keeping me busy and have had my first online sales in both shops! Yeah!! I am totally addicted to my art and these shops and all of the fabulously talented people I am getting to meet along the way - I never would have received this gift if not for the internet! It is a total blast although I have to say, you can spend wayyyyy too much time surfing around and not getting much work done! I have to figure out some way to balance the two along with my actual real job as a real estate broker and of course my other full time job as a wife/bookkeeper/housekeeper/grocery shopper/hostess (we have people over usually 4 days out of 7!) and gardener! Life is full and fun though and I wouldn't trade it, almost all of the time anyway, for anything! I am now off to work on one of many projects I have going...........and hopefully get one finished!
