100th Blog Post Giveaway Celebration!! Enter To Win Here...

{THE GIVEAWAY IS FINISHED...THANK YOU!}

THIS IS MY 100TH BLOG POST!!

I don't really consider myself a writer, and I am somewhat of a hermit and keep to myself, but here I am with 100 entries in an online Artist Journal!


It is hard to believe that I would ever make it to 100 posts when I sat down to type my first blog entry in May of 2010.  I started blogging when I came up with the idea for a company to sell art, cards, and games called Cara Mia Bella, giving me the chance to work from home and be able to remain in my children's lives while providing for my family.  That first night in May almost two years ago, I poured myself some wine to muster the courage to type, to reveal myself and my creative vision to the world.  After a while, the words began to flow more freely, and as I met other creatives like me taking that chance, baring their souls, I felt like I had finally found the perfect outlet for my creative expression.  


I found that those of us who write online journals do so because of our passion for our art, the connections we make with other artists like us, and the inspiration we get from others and from ourselves striving to be our best, to shine our light in our little corner of the web.

That doesn't mean it is easy to blog, at least not for introverts like myself! 

After all, who can remain creative when there are constant interruptions from children and "real" life (5 more minutes, please!)...


...Multitudinous projects going at one time (where do I begin?)...


...An entire product line that needs to be designed and printed...



...Managing a company to sell these quality creations;  to ensure the success of this company all of my free time is mostly spent working...



...Regularly participating in art galleries, craft shows and markets, as well as selling through retail locations nationwide...


...Finally getting my art published later this year...


... And always striving to paint that timeless masterpiece, that "Mona Lisa", that magnus opus.  I am amazed I even have time to blog!


To all of my loyal readers, I would like to say THANK YOU!
I wish I could personally answer each and every one of your kind comments and encouragement!

 To show how much I appreciate your support, I am having a giveaway, and you are invited!
