I'm nice like that.

I am here to revoke an earlier statement I made.

I said that on this new system that prints will only be available for a month, and then not ever again.

That changed when I found out it costs a minimum of $15 to get my work scanned. Which is a one-time thing. Which is crazy. But at least I know it's going to be a really good scan. I hope.

So. It's not so scary for you anymore. A new print will be released once a month, and then it will be available forever. (Unless nobody buys it, ever. Then I'll take it down.) But there won't be crazy "Buy this now, because you'll never have a chance to ever get it ever, ever again, and you'll probably regret it if you don't buy it right this instant."

I just wanted to let you know because I'm nice like that.

I've been hit.

It's been since last October since I did anything with Blue Nutmeg. I just got involved in other things and lost motivation, I guess. No sales on the website at all, so even though the costs are minimal, I just let the listings become dormant. I had a vision, sure. I had great ideas, for getting prints and cards in churches and bookstores. I wanted to do more with marketing and packaging and connections. (not to mention art) But that required time and energy which was already invested elsewhere. But my whole life is now open, and I've caught the creating bug once again!

The visions I have for my business come in waves, unfortunately. And I just got hit.

So while I'm figuring this out (the fact that I hope to also have a part time job soon only adds to the confusion), I need some feedback. I want to expand where I sell and what I sell.

What stores or websites do you think I should have product? (Specific or vague)

If I were to have other products in my shop, what would you buy? Bookmarks, postcards, mini buttons, t-shirts, tote bags, calendars, stickers, stationary...?

I'm pretty sure about adding different art styles too: pen and ink, pencil, colored pencil, etc. What about original canvas acrylic paintings?

I can't wait to hear back from you- I bet you have some amazing ideas!
