A happier moment from earlier this week....

The waiting

So, today is the first day of summer classes. The financial aid office is beyond packed. When I first got down here I had almost 300 people ahead of me in line. Now, I only have about 30 people ahead of me. I still have to go and buy my textbooks from the bookstore AND read all the stuff out of the textbook by tomorrow. This is incredibly stressful and almost more trouble than what it's worth.



Part of the problem is the fact that I didn't take care of this weeks ago. That's my fault. I'm a habitual procrastinater. But the school does need to get some help in their financial aid department. I'm sure that over 80% of the students here are receiving aid. Why can't they get some more people in here to help? This is just insane.



Of course this is the day that my husband and I were supposed to quit smoking. I don't know if I can do it...I'm just under so much stress right now.



So, I guess I'll just try to calm down, and think about anything other than a cigarette.

Featured on Trunkt!

I'm so excited: I've been featured in 3 showcases on Trunkt!

Follow me on Trunkt.org!

I'm asking anyone who bothers to read this blog to please help me! I have an account on Trunkt, and I would love to upgrade it. Here's how you can help:

1) Follow this link, and sign up for a free wishlist account. This is not a lie, or a way to trick you in to spam or anything. The wishlist account is positively free.

2.) Go to my portfolio and follow me. That's it!

While you're there you should check out the hundreds of other amazing portfolios. There is a large collection of artists and artisans there. I still get giddy when I browse the site!

A lot of these artists are on Etsy. Go to their shops and buy what you like.

I've been in love with Trunkt for a whole year. There are a number of extremely talented artists and artisans on the sites. One person who drew my attention was another Detroit photographer. You should check out his portfolio!

Hooray! I'm so excited that I finally got onto this website. I've never applied out of fear of rejection. I got accepted on the first try! Trunkt is a beautifully designed site full of talented artists and artisans.

Right now I only have a trial portfolio, but I am absolutely upgrading to premium next week when I get paid!

1000 Markets

This is my new shop on 1000 Markets. If you haven't heard of the site before you should check it out. I really like the design and layout of the site. A plus is the fact that you can pay using your Amazon account. Yay! The cool thing about having an amazon account is that you don't have to have a credit card or a debit card. I'm pretty sure they will let you pay using your savings account. How cool is that?
