Been MIA here for awhile due to a variety of reasons... none I'll bother boring anyone with details...
Xmas is approaching... it'll be here quicker than you realise :) these last few months in the year always fly...
And my little one will be turning the Big Two! Wow... almost makes me feel old lol...
So, anywayz, back to biz...
My RB artsite has undergone a massive revamp... took me about a week to complete with all the links n categories… so much coding involved, if I never look at coding again it'll be way too soon as they say :)
I reckon it would of taken a lot less time if I wasnt always constantly distracted.
Plus being a mumma, (as all you mummas know) takes your time 24/7… but I dont mind… my little one is priority so when she needs me, she gets me :)
But... I'm much happier with the layout of it now... it is more 'user-friendly' and organised... which was needed with 300+ art pieces not to mention the tee designs, writings n other jazz.
So... go check it out... if you like something I've done, buy a print or a card or a tee!
Bubble World of Dee
if you're not really overly interested in the layout, comments and all other distractions, but would like to check my art out, in a more buyer friendly atmosphere? then no worries! click here dimaries bubble
Had a happy day the other day when a cheque from art sales turned up in the mail! Woohoo! Happy happy joy joy for dee!
Sometimes I get heaps down on the whole process, and myself, and my art.. i fear it will go on overlooked by those who it would speak to, and that success on any level for me is simply a delusion... and when those doubts set in... its hard to rid them... so recieving that cheque was well timed, as i've been sinking a bit lately with the depression and all that jazz... but, talking about my depression, is , well, depressing lol... so lets go onto something else shall we...
ah yes...the revamp of my RB art site… lol,
for those of you that dont know whats involved, here’s a little screen shot for ya! :)
this one is part of the illustration category page…

so you can see why its taken me so long :)
lets see how long this face of it lasts before I redo it all again :)

I also made some clickable banners for my other art stores :)

thoughts n stuff-

For mousepads, shoes, skateboards, stickers and more…

Have a mug fetish? Or just want that one good glass for your morning cuppa….

Keepsake boxes, Apparal and Home and Office decor…

More classier taste? This one’s for you… Italian watches and charms, jewelery, cigarette cases… also home decor products available too :)

--------------—-
oh…and the bubblesite one too!
although I havnt finished the layout of that one completely yet :)

And now that this is done…I need to get all the others in order lol… (my trinkets and expressionz stores are lookin a little bare lol) (and i should reply to all the comments over at zazzle too)

In non web world…
Zafyre is getting better! her aer infection has cleared up and she is her old self again, full of smiles and laughter and running around being a cheeky monkey :)
I so do love our days together… a new adventure every day...or just sit n chill n watch kid shows lol...
Its funny, but now that I’m a full time mumma, and we dont get to go out that much anymore…
One starts to think in this situation… well, I used to have a life lol, now I’m a mum.
But with me? I think.. yea..I used to have a life… many infact… but I love being a mum to my girl more than any of it!
So… we may not ‘have a life’ as far as society is concerned…
but we do have the life i'm lovin… One filled with genuine love and happiness and not just empty fleeting connections or the delusion of success because of the amount of moolah in their bank accounts…
I’m more at ease with life now than i ‘ve ever been… and its been a long nasty messy trying time to get here… Before I met my partner… life was scary, truly… all messed up.. I was convinced I wasnt going to make it past 20….hell, I was pretty sure I wasnt gonna last past 16 for a time… almost didnt quite a few times…. lost my mind more than that…
and since… life just keeps trying to get us down… We lost our first bubba (rip little man)... we lost homes… friends… family… jobs… money… sanity at times lol… but where we are now… despite the stresses and financial pressures… yea... life is better to us now than ever before... Hopefully things will only continue to improve.. if karma exists at all that is... lol
