I'm trying to paint enough pictures to have a decent sized 'Gallery' of samples on the shop blog. I guess I don't know how many enough is, actually. And then there's the whole, who and what am I going to paint lol! I considered just going blog hopping to paint pictures of people's kids (this is a joke - no I really didn't) but then there's that whole awkward 'no I'm actually NOT stalking you, I just thought you needed 18 different paintings of your child' scenario. AND I actually need permission from people. Of course, several of my paintings don't even resemble the subject so I could safely post those.
So, now I'm sitting here at 2AM thinking, 'do I stare at blogger some more waiting for it to just suddenly appear as I want it? Or do I go to bed?'. Of course, I'm sitting here blogging instead. Notice my brilliant use of the correct blogger terminology? I may not have been blogging long (has it been five minutes yet?) but I've been reading them and well, I think I can pretend to speak blogger.

Then, while we're at it, we can add a finance company, I'm thinking we'll call it Godpal (hey, He should be our pal right?).
So, once people get paid for their stuff, we reach into their pockets once again and take a fee for forcing allowing them the convenience of another way to steal from them help them with their selling experience.
I digress though, back to the Godbay thing. I'm thinking it could work. I'm even thinking of inventing and selling some distinctly Christian items to sell in mass quantities (one idea I've been toying with is the retractable tithing coin. Simple technology if you will.
