"DD" not "$P"

This weekend I was matting some prints to showcase downtown the next day.  I came across this:

Don't you just love those "DD"'s?  

"What DD's?" you ask.

"I see a weird dollar sign looking thingy and a 'P'" you may add.

Sigh. :-(

For some reason, I thought my initials for Doodle Divas looked artsy and clever.  Instead they looked  . . . puzzling to everyone else.  

Oh well.  I figured would just point it out and discount it if anyone was interested.  I certainly wasn't going to throw away a matted print!

And to my surprise,  despite pointing this out to a couple that looked it over, they shrugged and insisted on purchasing it.  

Funny how so many things are all in the eyes of the beholder.  :-)

Before and After

Who doesn't love a good makeover? 

I have a buddy that does consultant work on the side.  She helped me make my photos go from drab to fab.

BEFORE - dud dullsville

:-(

AFTER - brilliant bright!  

:-)

The vignette was all my idea - not my consultant's.   (There's a long story that involves a patio and  my favorite throw blanket.  Don't ask.) 

I strongly advise anyone with an online shop to pay a consultant to do a thorough critique for you.  

Kristilyn, of Zombie Romance, (www.ZombieRomance.Etsy.com), does consultant work on the side for online shop owners.  

Meanwhile, I still have some makeovers to do before a cat fight starts.  It turns out my 'before' divas are super jealous of my 'after' divas.

Can you blame them?!

Six Million Dollar Diva

'He made her bigger, stronger, faster . . .  She's the 'six million dollar diva' and she's leaping across a skyscraper near you soon.'

Well not really.

Actually, I'm toying with thinking outside the box with my t-shirt designs/placement.   Maybe  it goes into the sleeves and practically wraps around to the back.

Turns out this is more difficult than I thought.  It may be coming though.  What do you think?

Phooey!

It's that time of year.  School has started back up.   

Summer is about over.  The sunny days of  shorts, flip flops and pool parties is about over.

Phooey.

And the days will get shorter.  It will get darker sooner. Before long it will be the bleak, dreary, cold days of Winter.

Double phooey.

But . . . 

 . . . For now, it's still Summer!  

Yay!

And between that and Winter is Fall, which is gorgeous!

Double yay! 

And then it will be Winter which means . . . 

. . . Thanksgiving . . . 

 and . . . 

. . .  Christmas! 

And maybe we'll get some snow this year.

WOO TO THE HOO!  

So, er, uh, ahem, like I said . . . 

I can't wait for the cozy, snuggly, hot chocolatey, cool boots, coats, sweaters and darting around in the snow in my big-deal-so-it's-snowing-lets-go-for-a-ride-Subaru!!!

But I'll enjoy the sunny weather for all its worth until then.

Which Diva Are You?

B.F.F. Diva

Tennis Diva

Rock-n-Roll Diva

Halloween Diva

Casual Friday Diva

Birthday Diva

Mom Diva
    

Eventually, it would be nice to have a diva for every diva out there.  Well . . . almost every diva.  I suspect Felony Diva won't be happening.

Then again, a diva in Martha Stewart's likeness may not be a bad idea.

(giggle)

Find your diva!
