Thanks to a rash of sales this past week I was able to order a credit card swiper for my upcoming shows. I'm pretty excited about it. The card reader is small enough to fit in my pocket and will hold and encrypt the card information with one swipe. All I'll need to write down is the card holder's name, the last four card digits and the amount of sale. Then when I get to a computer I will be able to plug the reader in and process all my sales. Much better than what I had to do at the show last year which was write down the card number and all info. This way will be much faster and my customers don't have to worry about their card info floating around. I won't even be able to see the whole card number once it's swiped.
In other news I completed a 30 day juice fast last week. The results: 3.75 inches lost from my waist, 2.5 inches off my hips, 2.5 and 3 inches off my thighs, and 2.5 inches off my chest (measured just under my bra). Weight went from 138 to 118.6. I expect my weight to stabilize at about a five pound or so gain now that my digestive system isn't completely empty anymore. I'm 5'10" by the way. I didn't do this for weight loss though, not that I'm minding my new shape, I did this to heal my skin. You see I was prescribed prednisone in March and it wrecked my face. I had horrible embarrassing steroid acne for four months. So basically I got fed up and decided to heal myself since the doctors screwed me up. And it worked! My face is 95-98% clear and looks better every day. I started another blog called After The Fast you can see here: http://www.afterthefast.blogspot.com/. It will be about my experiences after fasting exploring a new mostly raw lifestyle. Lots of yummy good for you recipes! Like the forthcoming raw peanut butter cup smoothie that contains no peanut butter, is good for you and really tastes like a Reese Peanut Butter cup. Impossible? No, check out the After the Fast blog later today!
Okay, off to work on clocks clocks and more clocks!

Another Art Show
I have been slacking big time on the blogging front.
A few weeks ago I found out that I got into the Columbus Riverfront Art Festival. Hooray! It is a three day event, get this, the weekend after the Dayton show I'm doing. That means twice the amount of work in the same amount of time. It's a bit intimidating. Especially because the only show I have ever done was the one day Hyde Park Square Art Show last October. I have been stocking up on materials and working on increasing inventory. Admittedly I have a long way to go, but I'm excited.
So that is the main thing in my brain right now. Working on clocks, clocks, clocks. I have had really good sales all summer but hit a bit of a slump this past week. I've had a sale each day for the last three days so that is encouraging. I spent all my money on booth fees and supplies, with still more supplies to buy so I hope the sales keep rolling in! Want to buy a clock, or better yet a table?
