Hi Billy. I suffer from insomnia. I do consider it suffering. I would consider it a blessing if I got stuff done while I was not sleeping... but my brain & body don't want to do anything, so I just lay there. I listen to music on my MP3. I read sometimes. I'd say I average about 2-3 hours of sleep a night. On the weekends I make up for it

I have heard good things about Propay. Right now, I only accept Paypal. But some collegues have really been talking up Propay, saying their sales doubled after adding that as an option to their website. I guess Paypal scares some buyers away?

Hi! Like Nora, I store my pieces in the tackle binders. What I like so much about them is that they are very transportable. They make set up and break down at craft shows a breeze. Plus, for impromptu showing-off, my friends and family can "page through" my new designs, just like a book :-) They are also nice to take your work to galleries

Oh yeah, that is confusing. Sorry I did not even realize! I am always excited to meet other Kirstens - it is a rare name. How lovely that we both like the same things too :-) Thanks for your article, Kirsten. It brought me to this website, which looks like a fantastic community and resource. ~Kirsten in PA
