My new website is almost ready and I plan to launch it next week. After advice from friends, family and thanks to Phil Deem, Exeter Business Support I’ve added missing information and I think it looks good. I have gone for the paid version, so there is plenty of room for photos! I will let …
Happy Christmas to you all. As I’m sure everyone has been busy these last few weeks, I’ve created a ‘Silent Night’ pinterest board for a relaxing browse! http://pinterest.com/arpglassdesigns/folksy-sings-silent-night/ As it doesn’t include any of my creations, here is one! This photograph was taken last Christmas eve and it’s also in my 2013 photo calendar Hope …
First up I thought I’d share with you my mission to get a new camera phone because it has taken over a large chunk of time! It is a maze of offers and I’ve spent hours on research, partly because the mobile I’d like is of course too expensive and I don’t need a £30+ …
An odd combination perhaps – mobile phones and painting! Read More »
Apologies for my absence of posts, I’ve only just come out of holiday mode! I had a lovely week in Spain, despite the rain for 4 days it was at least warm. Those that follow me on twitter will have seen the incredible fog, for those that didn’t here it is: Although I’ve not blogged …
I wanted to write a blog today as I have some special offers in my shop but I’ve had little inspiration on what to write. I’m sure other people have the same problem, so this will be a short post! My offers are because it’s my birthday this week 🙂 and by Friday I may …
All of you who have owned animals will understand this. I had to put my 16yr old cat to sleep at the weekend, 2 months after losing her brother and this is the reason for lack of blogs last week. She had tumours in her stomach and other complications, so there was no question that …
Today I thought I’d share the view from my art room. My desk, where I paint from, is facing the window and although it’s not the most wonderful view I love my little garden and seeing the sky. The last 2 jobs I had as an employee were both based in rooms with very little …
Feeling very pleased with myself, I’ve completed my tax return on-line, phew! Took longer than planned of course. First of all it said I already had an account, it turns out I did register in 2008 but for what I have no idea! This meant I had to apply for a new ID number and …
First experience of on-line tax return and dancing Bunnies! Read More »
We all have ‘down’ weeks sometimes and certainly not helped by endless grey rainy days in so-called summer! In light of this I decided to think about what is good about rain, to cheer us all up with positive thinking. 1. I’ll start with the obvious – It fills the reservoirs so we have plenty …
I wasn’t sure I’d write a blog today, having been concentrating on the mundane admin tasks. Didn’t think reading about book-keeping, tax returns and printing business cards would be too exciting!
