Laughing All The Way To The Bank and Trump....

Canada
June 9, 2016 5:53am CST
I delivered my art on Monday and yesterday I got a call from the store in Niagara On Then Lake telling me they were out of slate and could I bring more? Yikes I am a “One Woman Show” so I am going to have to say goodbye to you my friends on myLot for a while. Not forever but maybe for a longer time than I expected. I need to stock this store to their roof top because before I know it I will be camping and gone for about a month. ( no painting allowed while camping - my rule). I won't be posting anymore discussions until I catch up with the last three I posted. I will miss you and my time on line because I truly enjoy your company and I like reading writing and commenting. Just know that I'm not ill, I'm just busy making money. Now that Hillary has shown her power all the “Hillary Haters” are crying fowl and saying she will end up in jail because the Republicans have said so... Have no fear, that is not going to happen. I am leaving this interesting link for anyone who is interested in knowing how the world looks at “The Donald”. Its a collection of Political Cartoons from other countries that pretty well tell you how they feel. Enjoy and have a laugh. See you later alligator!
All the excitement about the 2016 presidential election isn’t limited to the U.S. alone. Media from around the globe are covering this race, too. And just like U.S. media, so too is foreign press p…

I'm glad you looked at them. They are hilarious... I'm running away to my daughter home for some R&R. No paints coming with me.I also canceled my summer craft show because of no time to build stock for that too. I truly don't need the money but there is something about taking money to the bank that makes me happy. Have I mentioned I'm going to Alaska with my sister this fall? Pin money will come in handy

Sorry I missed you. I've been offline for quite a while and finally had time to catch up with everyone. It's great your art is selling that good. Enjoy your painting and your camping trip once it's time to go on it.

I used to sell my homemade brownies to a local store and before long they expected 5 or 6 dozen a day....I was baking all day. That was before I got the internet and I'm sure I was making more money with my baking than I am online.

On line is just pin money for me. I could live off my art if I wanted too or needed to. Fortunately because I don't need the money, it's still fun and not a chore.

@JamesHxstatic I love it when someone agrees with me... hubby was listening to a news show he watches every morning and the question was Can the Donald win? The answer was that so far he has had ??so many votes but in November there will be Millions voting so he hasn't got a chance in hell...fingers crossed they are right.

That's great that your art is so popular - what happened to 'retirement'?.

What's that? We are both retired but both work too. He does something he loves and I do too. I am going to down size, this experience has taught me a lesson...Put your art where they get the best money... Its my play money, its fun to have funds guilt free..

Glad you are keeping so busy with your art! Political jokes/cartoons can be fun. This is a rough election, but aren't they always?

They are always a bit of a fight between the parties but this year is so different. To have a candidate that lies, and speaks the way he does and behave the way he does seems to be so wrong. I'm sure the last election some thought the same because a black man was running, but at least that man had a brain and a filter... I loved the cartoons!

I haven't been here but when I am I am trying to catch up. YES it is good that my art is selling so well, I worry because I won't be around in July but I guess they will just have to deal with it. I spoke with the store people and they said the same thing...surprise at the numbers sold and they will wait for more when i get back. I still have a couple of weeks to make more....
