Personalized Hand-Painted Christmas Ornaments




Hi All! I'm blogging a little ahead of time, since I will be out of town tomorrow... hope that is ok!



I wanted to share some of my hand-painted, personalized Christmas Ornaments... as it is getting so close to Christmas already!!! Time flies. I paint people, places, pets, pretty much anything I'm asked on the ornaments and I personalize them on the back with names and the year. They make a great personal gift for Christmas, birthday or just anytime during the year.






































If interested in ordering a personalized ornament..... email me at eahannah@hotmail.com.

Good Morning,

Hope you are all doing well and getting in the Holiday Spirit. I have been working on a few holiday items and have become involved in a group sale on ETSY.

The sale is called The Bountiful Holiday Sale and it started on November 1st. and will go until January 1st. There are quite a few artist involved in this Sale, some of whom belong to this group. Each artist has a different promotion in there shop. Some are offering buy one get one, others have 25% to 50% off, some have reduced prices, and some are offering free shipping. In my shop I am offering buy 1 get the 2nd of equal or lesser value for ½ off the price. You also get free shipping and a custom-made kitchen magnet. The magnet was made from a reduced print of one of my original works.

To see a complete list of shops involved and to read more about the sale you can visit:

or check out the Blog at:
http://bountifulsale.blogspot.com

I believe that it is imperative that a person should promote their art as much as possible. A great way of promoting is to become involved in some of the threads in the forum section of ETSY. I have found a thread that is kind of neat. You pick a shop that has commented in the thread and visit it. You then post something you particularly like in the shop and then they will post back. It is a good way of getting people to really check out your shop and see what is available. The thread can be found here:

These are just a couple of the things I have gotten involved with and they have helped produce some sells for me in the last couple of weeks. Give them a try everyone is welcome to join in, consider this an invite.

Here are a couple of ACEO’s that are in my sale:

'White Lies and Custard Creams' and other stuff

Most people I know who paint also do other creative things. They play a musical instrument or sing, or they are amazing cooks or they craft things or carve or sculpt or knit or crochet - any number of other creations stream from their fingers. I write. I write anything, but I prefer to write fiction. Below is the front cover of my novel.



My novel is ready to entertain - to while away a few hours - to take you away from the world's miseries if only temporarily.....

It's here: Click here for Susan's novel

And here's the back cover - you can click on it to enlarge it and read the blurb...



Tammy Moody who wrote of my novel: "Wow! One of the best books I have read in ages!I couldn't stop reading from beginning to end! This story has it all- warm wit, humor, romance, & quirky characters -all centered around an action packed, riveting tale that is sure to please right up until the very end! I absolutely will highly recommend this book to all of my friends and family! Hats off to Susan Alison on this one! I can't wait for more books from this talented author!" - (and I hadn't asked her to!) - paints wonderfully and produces loads of greeting cards, too. You can find her art here on various items perfect for giving as gifts: http://www.cafepress.com/tammy_moody and for her cards try here: http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/Tam_Moody_Greeting_Cards - everything you need under one roof.

Also, Marlene Hawkins said about my book: "It was so refreshing to read a book that wasn't all evil, death, melodramatic, or ties you up in knots, etc. though it did have those elements to some degree. It is just the right kind of book to take you away to a place that holds your interest, where you can just be entertained and enjoy and clear your mind of everyday troubles." Thank you so much Marlene! Marlene has some lovely items in her shop on etsy - go here: http://www.lazyhawk.etsy.com - she does jewellery as well!

I hope I've put those links in right.

It's seldom you find an artist who only paints - they so often do other things too. Everyone has a talent for something, although sometimes it takes a while to work out just what that something is - just keep trying things til you find yours.
