Better Late for a Date
Nothing like waiting until the last minute. I work best like this, under a little pressure, as it were. Just now finished assembling a 2011 calendar with some of my 5×5 images for a test run. They are uploading to my online printer as I type this and I’ll pick them up next week. Guess what the fam is getting for Christmas this year?? You got it – a set of twelve 5×7 calendar prints containing some of my abstract images. These are neat because you can place them in a 5×7 desktop frame and change them out month by month (something I would totally forget to do unless I wrote it down in my daytimer on the first of each month – gah!) Then, when you are done, you can trim off the bottom calendar portion and frame the 5×5 print for the wall if you like!
Next year I’d like to market these under different themes. It’s a little late in the season for a big marketing push now because I don’t have a stellar marketing department waiting at my beck and call…….that entire department would consist of me and at the moment, ’marketing me’ will be preoccupied with ‘traveling me’ and ‘homeschooling me’, some ‘holiday-making me’ and some ‘chicken-coop-winterizing me’ over the next few weeks. As any small business owner knows, there’s sometimes only one small business owner to take care of the small business. And the house. And the food. And the laundry. And the yard. And the animals. Really, I’m not complaining!! It’s my current reality and it’s a good one.
Above is an example of one of the calendar pages – neat, huh? A different image for each month. I’m looking forward to packaging these up for Christmas gifts and sending them off. I hope everyone likes abstract images. I know my mom will like them because she gave birth to me, but I’m unsure of the rest of my clan……….I can only hope!
