McDonald's Dollar Value Meal

I think the penny sales on my eBay account are better than the dollar menu at McDonald's! Where else could you possibly snag an ORIGINAL Sadowski mini folk art painting for under a dollar. It has happened! Recently the final prices have risen a bit so I'm happy that I'm at least making slave wages for my pieces now.

Before I wasn't making money once you took out the 15 cent listing fee, the 8+% final valuation fee plus the 30 cent Paypal fee +their 3.25% processing fee. Now it seems that buyers are willing to snag them at prices that have topped $6.00 Woot, woot! Before these same original ACEOs brought up to $15 at the low point and up to $35 at the best of economic times. However, since I plan on making my fortune in very short order I'm happy to ply my buyers insatiable need for ORIGINAL FAIRY art. See for yourself, just click the icon above and get in on the fun of possibly snagging an original piece for $.01! Best of Luck~!

Countdown crunch!

Spent the day getting some more supplies packed for my sabbatical. Tomorrow I get to organize all of my eBay oddz and endz that I'll have to auction off when I get home in the fall. I've got a 7:30 am appt. on Tuesday for my six month CAT and bone scans and hopefully they'll be 'clean' so that I'll then be starting my fourth year of remission. Wednesday I've got to go food shopping for the first couple of weeks I'll be away and then Thursday morning it's sayonara NJ, hello PA. I'm hoping the trailer make it through the winter with no new leaks so I won't have to spend any time doing work related things. I've been cleaning house for a month and a half. That should let you know just how much sh*t I've collected over the last 21 years of residence in this house. If you wanna be one of my 'sabbatical sistas' send an email so I can put you on the list for semi-daily updates of my life by the lake.
Just my cat, my Chi and me...sounds like heaven 'cause I won't have to pick up a mop or a dustrag unless I want to...YAY!

http://artandcraftauctions.com update

There are now over 285 users at http://artandcraftauctions.com and we have added user groups. I'm overworked keeping up with everyone and everything but it's worth it to see artists selling their work daily.

I'm trying to find time to get to my own artwork but it's hard. By the time I get done with keeping track of postings and memberships which is a left brain activity I can't seem to kick into right brain mode which is essential to my work. I've been able to get a few paintings done

But I'd like to do a couple of primsical pieces...you know prim whimsy folk art...but I just can't dig out the hours I need and then I don't have the drive to get it done.

I'm frustrated but glad to have finally gotten ArtACA out of my head and into the 'real' world via the net. I feel like I have a newborn who needs constant mommy stuff done. Watching it grow up will be as satisfying as motherhood has been.
We added a new category called Art Dolls-OOAK for all of those dolls that aren't craft but aren't quite art either. I may even list my chimney pot faeries...if I can figure out where I've stored them.
