Working Material for Shops

Trying to coordinate this portfolio is hard. The structure and and program have been created. Great, the only thing is trying to hit all the bases still has not been reached. However, these new shoe designs for Halloween have been put together and things along that avenue have worked out. It is how to touch all the bases in a reasonable time frame that eludes me at the moment.

HOL138 PARTY TIME (three little witches)

This last design, HOL138, was completely re-done for this shoe design. Some of the designs are easily adapted while others require much more time and sometimes the use of other designs which will coordinate with the look. Both of these come from the MARY PARKER HALLOWEEN PORTFOLIO. I build coordinating products and apparel to go with the main design. This image is in progress. The products will be in HALLOWEEN NIGHT.

Halloween Images

HOL220 JACK PUMPKIN

This day has not been quite what I had in mind but it is Monday. This image is one I have selected for Halloween products such as tote bags, tiles, cards, and the like all to be coordinated with shoes. I had a very successful morning and crated all in great time and PHOTOSHOP CS3 obliged by crashing when I pressed SAVE @#@$#%#@@# I did however get some t-shirts and the shoes but the real work was lost. So when I get a better attitude, I will done it over and all will be well. The shoes will be in SHOES DU JOUR when they come down the product approval line which should be in about 24 hours. The apparel and other products will be in HALLOWEEN NIGHT tomorrow.

Just Had a Crash

I just had a real CRASH. Everything was lost. I have this on a Belkin with backup and surge protection and it just turned off and there was nothing.

I am trying to learn how to put the site into Google’s verification system. I thought that I had already done this but perhaps I placed the code in a wrong place and nothing has been going on for all this while.

The Gallery blogs are running successfully. Now, it is this brain strain trying to string them all together and get the material out where it will do some good. You know, a trout line!

ACTIVATING HALLOWEEN

July arrived here with a lot of activity and I have been going in circles.

This is the month which I turn on the OCTOBER 31 and CHRISTMAS PIZZAZZ blogs. Today I have entered a rundown of a design, HOL210, which was edited for cards, products, apparel and shoes. The name I gave to the design is THERE SHE GOES and it is also available for purchase. Putting this all together and making it work with all the links has been interesting for me but a challenge for the materials to be done properly. I have the Gallery entries, which are the works available for sale, all down pat but the regular blogs are still presenting their problems.

THERE SHE GOES, HOL210

This is the program: I post the works available for purchase in the AM, Tweet them and Tweet a picture of the image. That takes about 15 minutes. Next I must work on some design for products (this can take more than I like but until I am more proficient, it will take time) and upload to the shop(s).

Because I have not only the Halloween shop, HALLOWEEN NIGHT, but a Christmas shop, CHRISTMAS DEPOT, and a rustic lodge, COBBLY NOB, an exotic wild animal skin shop, WILD, and an everyday shop, SHOP DU JOUR, I have my hands full. Working out the system is the challenge and I will get it accomplished. Perhaps some sort of rotation could be accomplished so that I could cover all the shops with new work. Well, now you know why I am running in circles!
