Buy or Sell Art at RedBubble
Just joined this money making site yesterday so not sure what the results will be but didn't cost anything to join so why not try it out.
These are a few of the photos I've uploaded so far:
RedBubble has been extremely simple to use. Upload your quality photographs, add a title, brief description, keywords, set your mark-up % (what you want to profit), select what options you want to give your customers (cards, prints, framed, etc) and publish your art work.
Now you are expected to promote your own 'store' but RedBubble provides some great tools such as banners, slideshows, and other options. While it does seem the base price is a bit high RedBubble does handle all orders, printing, and shipping for you so that's a big plus.
Payment is via PayPal or check at $20.00 earnings for the month. Will keep you posted on any further news but at this point I recommend you check it out.

Backups - DO THEM!
Had a horrid week here! Was in a 2 week training class for moving to new department at work (still on phones just different utility company) and my laptop crashed. Yes, my harddrive died and guess who had not done a back-up in months. ME! Not only was without computer for several days but also had to spend $138 I didn't have and fear of not knowing what was going to happen to my 1000s of photos, research notes, articles, and stories I've written... Moral of the story: Faith will be doing regular back-ups! The great folks at DigiLink in Jackson saved all my personal photos and documents but bookmarks and extra programs are all gone. When doing back-ups don't forget those little extras that you tend to take for granted daily - I'm lost without my 'favorites' folders. Peace and Joy, Faith Draper aka byfaithonly |

My youngest son put a whole new twist to the fishing experience - prime example that the catch is not always the most important part of fishing. Love you have you read the entire story just click the link.  We have all heard those hard to believe fish stories but this fish story is much different. It is my youngest son's fish story and although many years later is still a common joke with the family. This fish story is NOT about 'the one that got away'.
