Artfire Daily Collection

"Spiraling Up" by Primal Painter

I've felt strangely verbally stifled for the past few days.   I think it has to do with the creative process kicking in and that seems to negate the desire to do computer related left brain kind of things.  Creativity is very nonverbal for me, it's abstract and in my head,  my eyes, and my hands and doesn't have much of anything to do with words and certainly not links and other crapola. Actually, when I'm embroiled in a creative frenzy, the computer seems like a chore and me no likey chores. 

Also, it's spring for cryin' out loud!  I have a garden to get ready to plant, phlox to transplant, red tipped photinias and Heavenly Bamboo to plant, yard to mow, flower beds to clean up.....Bizzeee bizzeee bizzeee.

I love my tall purple phlox.  They get green early, stay green late, have beautiful aromatic flowers that last a long time, and spread like crazy.  I transplant some every year to different parts of the yard.  I may have to name my place Phloxville....Welcome to Phloxville, Where Purple Rules....  (Wow, strange mental meanderings, maybe I should have stuck with the verbal stiflement! lol)  Did I mention the smell of the lilac bushes that's permeating everything right now?  How could I possibly focus on computer stuff with that wonderful aroma in the air?

 

Have you heard about Artfire's Daily Collection email they're sending out....daily?  It's pretty cool, actually.  You have to sign up to receive it (there's a button at the top right of this post where you can do that) and you'll be assigned a number.  With each Daily Collection, they're awarding the person with the matching number a $100 gift certificate to spend in any Pro shop of their choice.  It's pretty good odds, I'm thinking

If you're a collection maker, now would be the time to get one made.  Think of the exposure if yours got chosen for the daily email.  Wow!  With Artfire, there's nothing saying you can't include your own items as opposed to Etsy where it's frowned on.  I haven't been there long enough to know if people actually include their own things very often, but I think it's a great idea.

Here's a cool Artfire Collection put together by Richard from Prankearts.  It's called 'Blue Dreams"
