I listed on Talent Data Base

I listed on talentdatabase.com yesterday. It's a global database of all types of artists. I posted pictures of my jewelry and some basic information but I have yet to fill out my complete bio.

A very talented artist from Japan already bookmarked me which is good. I will read up on it and figure it out soon. I heard it's a good way to get your art, craft, talent out to the world and be discovered!

Crossing fingers.

Amor De Plata Domain Name is Mine!

I'm so happy I just purchased my domain name. Since I really don't have any computer skills and don't want to stress, I'm having all my amordeplata.com searchers forwarded to my Etsy shop at amordeplata.etsy.com automatically. Oh my gosh, it took all of 2 minutes to sign up, entered my Etsy site name and done. If I had known it was this easy, I would have done it years ago.

A special thanks to Blissbyheather.etsy.com for all of her helpful tips and information on promoting your site in the Etsy forum. Yahoo domain names for $1.99 a year at yahoo business site! You can't beat that. Regular price is $10.00 per year, which is not bad. I LOVE Etsy, they help you so much in all aspects of promoting and success in your business. Remember to buy handmade at Etsy.com everyone.

Italy - My Dream

I dream of going to Italy all the time. Went to Bravo's (Italian food restaurant) yesterday and had spinach ravioli. I swear I must have been Italian in my former life. I absolutely adore anything from Italy, love the food, love the glass. Everything is gorgeous in Italy and really makes me want to go there. I think I might study the language, although I do a good job of faking it. I can pretty much get the idea of what someone is talking about.

Received a catalog for cruises (yes, to Italy) a couple of days ago. One day when I have enough money I will go. My hubby thinks I just want to run off with an Italian guy when I get there. No, honey, I love you!!

Flu bug

Must be a bug going around, I'm so sick. Enjoyed the 4th of July fireworks last night at Ala Moana Center. Beautiful show set to music. Will write more when I'm feeling better. Will continue sneezing, coughing and wheezing.
