Thanks so much! ;) I've been trying out different things besides just painting. I LOVE making mixed media pieces. They are my new favorite. You can see them on my etsy shop. They are featured this week :)

Here is a link to my things on my new art blog. Note cards too :) http://artbyamandahilburn.blogspot.com/

I deleted the blog and just have my etsy shop linked to my facebook page, but I am contemplating putting up a blog again.... I will post the note cards on my etsy shop...I have a few left, but I sold many of them. I'll let you know when I get them posted :)

It's been quite a while since I started this thread and I'm still working on getting my business up and running. I stopped for a while and then started back up. I've actually got some new and different things going and wanted to share with you all. I'm currently trying to build up my page on facebook and would love some help with ideas to market for more "likes". Any tricks or ideas?

Bumping this up to share :)

I wanted to share with you all that I have a very talented friend who sews the cutest children's clothing I've ever seen. She is really blessed with a great talent, and she is hosting a giveaway on her blog right now to help me with my new art shop. We are both homeschooling moms trying to be industrious like the woman of Proverbs 31 :) We are giving away 2 prizes and it's SUPER easy to enter. This is the link to her blog: http://ohsewpreciousdesigns.blogspot.com/2012/09/guest-giveaway-art-by-amanda-hilburn.html It would be so awesome if you could stop by and help us out :)
