Stocked and Informed (web traffic tips)

I got my art supplies earlier this week. Bunch of new wire, some gold and silver chain, leather to use for necklaces, a lot of stones for wrapping, and a few additional things. I plan on working my first jewelry commission this week. Though I must wait on the second one. I will have to order the special wire for your black onyx pendant Jaspenelle.

I found out some interesting information on how to get traffic to your website in the lasted edition of Artist’s Magazine. I would recommend a subscription to this magazine. It's inexpensive but they tell you so many cool and help tips and techniques. Here's a link to the DA News Article I posted about it. http://news.deviantart.com/article/32548/

I've decided to do some normal art instead of jewelry too. Planning to enter DA's contest for a new Deviant WEAR design. Also entering Anthro Alliance's Fortitude contest. Not sure if I will have the time or energy but I would also like to enter Playstation's Design the Next Folk contest. Hopefully I will have both.

Honestly, I have felt pretty effete lately. I find myself taking a nap or sleeping late a lot. I just seem to lack both physical and mental energy... not really sure why. May it’s just the stress lately doing it. I really can't say for sure. I'm just hoping it goes away soon so I can get active again. I have been working and getting my hours back at work, there’s a management war going on. Randomly we get our hours cut for no real reason other then moodiness and being the target of the week or month. I have made a few allies and management and got my hours back a bit because of that. I wish our store manager would stop acting like a little child. --;
On another note, I did an update on my churches website for them since the original admin can no longer keep up. I am now the secondary admin for the site. Need to meet with the pastor and original administrator and decide what we want to do with the site in the future. Also my parents and I are thinking of taking over as youth ministers. In the Assemblies of God you don't need a certificate to teach a class or minister. (Thank God they didn't go all techy schooly like everyone else). Anyway, we still need to speak with the pastor on that so we shall see where that goes.
