art is life

Growing a business is not easy. Let alone when you are the only partner!

Nor is it profitable in the beginning — especially when you are working a full time job and a possible part time one. But I’m  keeping the faith while making efforts to gain exposure. I haven’t checked on our gummies at the Paperie & Co. in a little while but the owner still seems confident they will do well in her shop. And many wonderful friends have purchased them.

In the last few weeks good things have been evident.

One: I will be the strolling photographer at Arts Goggle next month, an art and music event my cousin Riki Johnson, who is an artist, is producing. The gummies will be there too, up for sale in all their glory.

Two: The wonderful Laura Heymann has given my Web site a face lift! Check it out. I’m still working on minor things I amlooking to add but I could have NEVER done any of this without her. I loved my father’s hands but it was time to rework the site to show more of the things I do. I don’t ALWAYS stick gummies on things…or people! I happen to shoot portraits, weddings and events too.

Three: I love these people. Just read it and find out why.

Four: I’m hoping as well as praying big things will continue to come. And I will keep on peddling  Gummy World to gift shops around the area. At the moment I’m helping put to gether a benefit called Barn Aid which kicks off tomorrow.

It’s been a very busy month. Here’s to a little down time to get things gearing upwards and onwards! But who am I kidding. I never slow down…
