Starting Small Is Better Than Not Starting At All || Random Ramblings

hello lovelies!

I never thought I would actually sell my work. It wouldn't be good enough, I always told myself. 

Well, I'm making my dream come true. I have sold seven paintings of mine and am trying to sell more. I'm starting small, but I don't mind. Like I titled this post, "starting small is better than not starting at all".
I'm still amazed every time I sell one of my pieces. 

I've done one custom order and it turned out pretty good and the receiver was happy with them. *does a happy dance around the room* 

With each sell a smile spreads across my face. I can't believe people are willing to pay money to hang my artwork on their wall... I just hope to continue and maybe get a little bigger. 

I've always thought about selling my drawings because I never thought my paintings were worth much. But hey, people are buying them and I've been improving on my skill the more I do it. It's fun to try and get things to look realistic to a point. (paintings, at least mine, don't always look 100% realistic) 

I've actually sold one of my drawings too. A friend of Chancy's asked if he knew of anyone who could draw him and his Down syndrome brother. I said I was willing to try and I did it. It was a.m.a.z.i.n.g. I finally knew if I could do custom drawings or not. I felt so excited to give it to the receiver and my joys were extended when he said, "it looks amazing" *squeals* It just makes me so happy when another person is happy with my handiwork. 

I am hoping to maybe start an Instagram or something of the sort and try sell my paintings and maybe even drawings on it. I never thought this dream of mine was a reality but it seems to be slowly coming true. 

I know this post was a little random and mostly me just rambling but hey, I hope you enjoyed it anyways. *winks*

Have a beautiful blessed day. God bless! 

Photo Dump || September

*hello lovelies* 

Wow. Where in the world has the time gone? It feels like just yesterday we were starting out this crazy year of 2020. Nine months. Already nine months of this crazy ride has gone. *mind blown*

 

Been enjoying the last few days of summer. Had a bonfire with a few friends and my great aunt and uncle came by. I haven’t seen them in a long time so it was really nice to get to see them again. 

Before they moved we would go to their house every Friday night. It was something I really looked forward to. 

Had a movie night with “The Aunts” and watched “Fox and the Hound” *tries not to sob* That movie is dreadfully sad. 

After church one Sunday me and Damara went with my sisters to town and we ate Jack In The Box while sitting in a parking lot xP 

Then we headed over to a local park and put our feet in the water and  I really enjoyed it. 

Labor Day happened. We headed up the hill to my grandparents and spent the day with them. 

The big fire started Labor Day evening and the smoke stayed until at least two weeks after that. 

Threw a surprise birthday party for Damara!! It was a ton of fun. Me and Danielle were the only ones there but it was just right. We are good food, provided by yours truly, and enjoyed the day and night of playing board games and watching “Numb3rs”

Made a sign for the firefighters since they were staying right across the road. 

Did some drawing. 

Been writing more in "Where Wildflowers Grow" I am so happy with how it’s turning out! I’ve started rewriting it and I’m loving it. *happy sigh* 

Rain came! The air has finally cleared and we can actually see blue skies again!! *does a happy dance*

It’s sooooo nice to be able to breathe again! The fresh air is wonderful. 

The fire isn’t out by any means but all evacuation levels have been lifted and it's a lot more contained. I haven't really heard much more about it so I take that as good news. *winks*

Got my license!! *does a happy dance around the room* I drove to Damara’s to hang out and guys... it was AMAZING! I loved it! Driving is so much fun and even more so when you can do it by yourself! I can’t wait until my six months is up and I can drive with friends. Me and Damara are going to go get coffee, go to town, go out to eat, the works. *sunglasses* I can’t wait.
