Apologies!

I am aggravated at my newsletter provider because the detailed email I wrote as an explanation was replaced with the generic 'please confirm your subscription' letter. I will not resend it as I do not want to further aggravate the situation with yet another email that may or may not include the detailed letter.

So, just in case anyone ventures here from the previous newsletter I sent out to find out why there is yet one more subscription confirmation letter today, here is the email you were supposed to receive:

Hello all!

I am SO sorry and embarrassed to be sending you all another newsletter subscription email. I did not realize that Yahoo Groups does not allow groups to be used for commercial purposes. Therefore I am moving my list to one that does. I am canceling the Yahoo group as soon as I send out this letter.

I realize some of you may not want to re-subscribe to my list and that is ok! But since I am not sure which of you are not subscribing and which of you just haven't read your email invitation yet I am sending out this invitation to invite you to join this new list. Please accept my apologies and just ignore this email if you were not wanting to resubscribe.

However, if you do want to stay on my mailing list then please verify your subscription to this list by visiting this URL now:

{{link here in actual email}}

If you do not want to subscribe, do nothing and ignore this request! And I wish you well! :)

New Mailing List provider

2008-06-19T22:08:00.000-07:00

Hello!

I have just created a new mailing list service and have sent an invitation to all my previous subscribers. A couple of email addresses were not accepting invitations so here is a direct link to signup (link removed! See here.). I hope to see you all there, but if you decide to not rejoin then I wish you well and hope to see you once again in the future! :) If you do not receive your invitation, then please do check your spam folder and see if it was delivered there.

I have decided to use Yahoo Groups as my mailing list host because they offer many great features that were currently not available with my current provider.

As always, I do plan on having subscriber benefits only available to my newsletter subscribers, like coupons, freebies and the like.

However, if newsletters are not your thing anymore and you have discovered and love the benefits of RSS feeds and feedreaders, I do have a RSS feed for my blog here:

Thanks!

Goodbye, MySpace

2008-02-16T13:55:00.000-08:00

I have requested my MySpace account to be deleted (again!). Good riddance, MySpace!

I am paring down on the number of sites I belong to. If you'd like to find me on a fantasy friendly social network, then please visit me on the Enchanted Folk social network. I'm not very active there, but maybe I will be in the future. :)

Some older ACEO's

I took some photos of some older ACEO's I have done but never uploaded for you all to see. They don't really fall in with the fantasy theme I usually do. I was just doodling around trying different things and themes to get my creativity flowing again.
