Congratulations on the sales! Hopefully you will have a steady stream of them. Do you have a Habitat Restore or similar near you? Could be a great resource for used frames.

Definitely have that ankle checked out. I have a lot of arthritis but it doesn't usually give sudden pain (more of a constant ache). The times I have had sudden pain in my joints are when a bone spur or similar causes damage to something else like a ligament.
I agree with Paula - studio buddy must stretch out the time at your home due to loneliness.

So sorry that getting home was so difficult! That's the hard part of travel. But the weeks prior were filled with experiences. So interesting that they eat in such a healthy way compared to people in the US. I bet their obesity rate is a lot lower.

I love the idea of thrifting frames and then upcycling them into something beautiful.

Liz, hope you and DD had fun at the golf tournament! Please share pics! You always come up with such fun outfits for your themed events!
OH is being slow and wonky so I hope I don't lose this post.
Got my first sales report email today and I made 3 sales yesterday and 3 sales today! Today it was only cards, but if I do that every day, I will be sitting pretty. I'm sure sales are happening because I'm the new gal on the block though and have new fun stuff to choose from! I also made an Esty sale today! I just reopened my shop 2 days ago! Much higher profit margin! Yay!
No water aerobics due to Bible study but I will go tomorrow. Will try and thrift some used frames to increase my profit margin and will look for some shells to either decorate the outside of some frames with or use in shadow boxes that I am going to market and see if they will sell. I also ordered some photo tote bags today to see if they go over well. It really is a different market from the Fine Art fairs I did. My Esty site will still cater to the Fine Art crowd.
Have a good evening everyone!

Sorry about your ankle pain. The sudden jolting nature of it makes me think you should get it checked out by a doctor if it continues!
Does studio buddy pay in kind (maybe a nice meal out?) for all the help DH gives her? Do nice if you guys to let her come over so often. I'm sure it is more about being lonely than actually needing computer help!

Oh man, what a crazy trip home! Glad you are back safe and sound and sorry your view is of snow instead of beautiful Brazil! At least you can go to your favorite coffee shop soon and give your Dad a hug!

Greetings all
It is cloudy here but dry. And it seems calm. Works for me. So yesterday I took Tesla for her vet visit and made a stop at the bank. I had received a suspicious looking email pertaining to a recent CD I purchased but the banker told me it is legit and did come from them. There are bank fraud scams going around and it seems the smaller banks get the worst of it. Oh well. After that I went to the hippie grocery across the street from the bank. Walking in I got a sudden jolt of pain from my right ankle and almost fell. Gimped around the store with a shopping cart. I have had these pain jolts before but this one was much higher on the richter scale. I kept having pain in the night and got up early and took advil and ate two crackers with it. That helped but I think it will be back. Self diagnosis: arthritis. I remember my grandmother gingerly gimping around with it for years. Crap. Now I have to read up on what is to be done.
DD welcome home from your big adventure!! At least the rough part came at the end of what appears to be a fabulous trip. Agreed on staying out of that elevator. No place to be in a brown out. And congrats on maintaining weight. Being busy and active sure makes a difference! We are so glad you are safely home. Sorry you did not get to see Manaus - but best you rested. And those back end seats in the airplane don't recline in addition to being next to bourbon boy. Whew.
Liz glad you are having fun with DD. Good that the event is over so you don't have to deal with President Busy Body. Every club has one. Sending healing energy to your feet.
Peps why not sub on occasion if it is fun. You are on your teaching game and I bet the kids love a fun sub. Sure eggs for dinner indeed.
So studio buddy was over yesterday afternoon for computer help from DH. This started at 1;30, was still going on at 3 when I left for the vet apt and was still going on when I got home close to 5. As near as I can tell all that happened was updating software and selecting and installing a malware protection package. Our friend overthinks everything to the point it is almost disabling. Plus she is lonely. Another session on Saturday and I will make sure I have paperwork and stuff to do. DH is very patient- more so than me.
Time to go out and about.

It will make for good stories in the future, that's for sure. Sleep helps bring a better perspective. At one point when we were in the Uber, driving through a rough part of the city, I thought, what the hell are we doing? We don't know where we're going or if we are safe. I feel really bad for the tourists that didn't speak Portuguese. At least we had that going for us.
