Great Things

This week has been full of great things. I did a working interview on Monday for a local dentist. The interview went great, nice office. They said they would make a decision and get back to me at the end of the week. Thursday rolled around and at about 2p.m. I got the call giving me the job. I am so thankful as I have been out of work since June of this year. I am a little nervous about starting out again somewhere new but it will all work out I'm sure.

Friday was the Grand opening of The Boo's Gift Shop in Virginia Beach. I am just one of the local artists selling their work there. They have a lot of talented artists supplying their work.
Here are a few pics of inside the shop.

I finially filled my etsy shop. I have been dragging my feet because of my lack of computer skills but I figured if I kept doing that I' d never open my shop. So I jumped in with both feet and listed my items, I couldn't be happier. Here's the link if anyone would like to stop by and browse.http://www.etsy.com/shop/shannonroland

I've been working on this , and I finished today. I happy with the way it turned out. I found some great new things from Tim Holtz line of products to use. I love his product line.

Today has been really productive. I got so much done, which is great after having a killer migraine yesterday. I am so excited I had a meeting today with a woman who is opening a boutique featuring local artists and she offered me a spot to sell my artwork. I can't belive all the good things that are coming to me. I owe a lot to Kelly Rae Roberts for her wonderful e-course Flying Lessons. It has been like a art blueprint for me guideing me along my journey . I will post some pics soon of the work I'm putting in the shop.

I havn't been on in awhile and the reason is I've moved in with my sister while I get things back on track. I am having lots of fun hanging out with my sister and talking and laughing about silly stuff. I am fortunate to have a sister like Kari, she's my best friend and biggest supporter besides my parents. We are already plannning to go to a flea market tomorrow to hunt for treasures. I can't explain how good I feel ,even though things were turned around for awhile I am coming out on top and have a plan. I am just taking it one moment at a time for now and the rest will fall into place.

taking a break

I am going to be MIA for awhile as I concentrate on my job search. I feel I need to really focus all my attention on this. Since losing my job in June it has been difficult and I've been stressed but trying to stay positive. I know things can only get better, but as a single mother I feel I must concentrate on getting a new job first and everything else has to wait. I will continue blogging soon and hope you understand. Thanks for all your support.

Thanks everyone, your support means so much to me. I look forward to a long friendship with all of you :)
