Well, this is it.
Today is February 1st.
I told myself the day after Christmas that I would work on opening an Etsy shop until February 1st and then I would stop and go back to painting.
I only got 39 items listed. I probably have 100 more items to add, but from here on in, it will be in fits and starts. I need to paint. I haven’t painted since September 1st. That’s almost 5 months! How can that be? It is definitely how it feels. I’m terrified to start painting again because I feel like I’ve forgotten everything I learned! I’m hoping it’s like riding a bike :) I’m also hoping the break cleared my jumbled mind from all the concepts I stuffed inside it. I get to start with a clean slate and see what my intuition has decided to keep and what ideas and information it will politely decline. Mmmm….I have absolutely no clue what will come out!
OK. Back to Etsy…
To celebrate, I have created a coupon code: GRANDOPEN1 https://www.etsy.com/shop/BeCreativeMary
This entitles shoppers to a 20% discount on items in my new store.
If people could share, favorite or promote my shop in anyway, I’d really appreciate it! It stinks having no likes,interactions or feedback, but I know, I know, …you have to start somewhere!
I thank you all for continuing on my journey as I navigate all things creative. I don’t always know what I’m doing, but I don’t mind sticking my neck out there to on trying! ;)
Here’s to a knew year of painting and pottery. I am so excited to get my feet wet!

I love the bright cheerful colors that you have chosen, Mary
How sad. You don’t ship to Canada. I was already to order and then saw the notice that you don’t ship outside the US.
Agh….. You caught me! I was nervous about shipping so I didn’t go international. For you, I could try to figure it out! ;)
Let me know if you do. I know that it will cost me more in Canadian dollars because our dollar is so low right now.
SUCH BEAUTIFUL BOUNTY! pml
