Yes, find your passion. Find something that soothes your mind, body and soul, then let it soar! Heal your mind and your heart with something you enjoy doing - whether it's a walk in the woods, cooking your favorite meal or relaxing under a shade tree as you sip on your favorite cool refreshing drink.
As a creative person, I enjoy painting. I'm not Van Gogh, but who cares? I make the time to heal my heart and mind with ART! It's not only fun, but rewarding and it is something I can control when there is so much around me that I cannot. It gives me great satisfaction to create something beautiful and share it with others.
So, take a moment for yourself and do something you enjoy. Shake off the "worry and stress" and go to a place within yourself that brings you joy. You won't regret it!

]]>I am so humbled when I meet these talented artisans and what a better place to meet them than a place they are premiering their work, such as galleries, art shows, festivals, cultural arts events, etc. Even nicer is the fact the fact that these artists love meeting their customers! It is so inspiring and uplifting to hear about how they began their artistic journey and to hear the stories behind their art. So, if you haven't met an artist yet, go meet one! They add so much to our cultural world!

]]>Every year it is the same ole story....what to give that person who has everything or who is hard to shop for at Christmas. How about a beautiful art print from The Painted Label? From coastal designs to playful children's themed art, The Painted Label has a large selection of art created from the original paintings of Kimberly Sumerel. Each 8" x 10" print comes with an 11" x 14" art mat and ready to frame. Greeting cards available too. Now all you need is a bow! Happy Shopping!
]]>Great ideas for gifts are always here at The Painted Label. How about a cute artist designed fashion clutch to hold all those "thing-a-ma-bobs" one just cannot do without? Tuck them in one of my colorful lightweight zippered bags and off you go! No more lost glasses, keys, money, etc. What a JOLLY great idea!
]]>After a painting is complete, it is photographed to be viewed and observed from many angles. Because my greeting cards are a derivative of an original painting, I will do what I like to call, a "mock up" setting of a card (an actual print to paper design) to see if it would have any appeal to a viewer. And because my cards are blank inside, it allows for the card giver usage for any occasion.
I once had a customer who attended one of my art shows, suggest to me about putting cards in frames. What a great idea! Not only does the customer receive a beautiful card, but now they have a keepsake that can be treasured by putting the card in a lovely frame! In addition to that, the customer now owns a mini print of an actual original acrylic painting.
This mermaid painting was inspired as I waited for the storms to come into Florida. It is a picture of a mermaid. It made me wonder. Where do mermaids go during a storm? Just curious! They are very secretive and it's hard to get them to tell you all their secrets! I did manage to catch a glimpse of one once, so I thought while I'm sitting here waiting for hurricane Matthew to come my way, I would paint one! Her name is "Akela," meaning graceful and noble. I think she would make a pretty greeting card!
To shop more cards, go to Greeting Cards.
HAPPY SHOPPING!!

Too afraid to go this bold? Add a solid color and "voila"......you have the perfect combination! Cheery and fun!
]]>A lot of time and effort go into a business and if you are a business owner, then you know there are often times when you wish there were more hours in the day.
This day and age, in the world of retail, a company not only has to develop a product, make it, market it, sell it and explain to potential customers why a particular product is the best on the market, it has to be competitive and "creative."
"What?",,,, you say. You are not creative? You leave the creativity to those that produce the product. Great! That leaves you with the task of getting the word out to the public about your great product "What?".... you say. Your advertising and marketing team does that! OK, great! You just have to sell it! "What?"...you say. Your product is not selling? OH NO! What is going on with the marketing department? "What?"....you say. You lied! Your marketing department is who?.............YOU?
No worries! Time to REV UP the social media! "What?"......you say. You are on all the social media sites and have tons of followers already! GREAT! What are you posting? "Pictures of your favorite Parisian foods?!" YIKES! You sell "thing-a-ma-bobs!" Not food! Time to get those followers transitioned over to what you are selling!
"Social media mania" can drive one nuts after a while because "yes," it takes time to build a business, but with the power of the internet and social media, any business has a chance to grow and flourish by taking advantage of social media and by being smart. Think like a customer for a moment. not a business owner. Of course you want to see great products, pictures, special offers, new products, reviews, descriptions, videos and anything that engages the customer and makes them want to return for more!
Leave the Parisian bon bons for your foodie group on Saturday night. Social media is a great tool if you use it correctly for your business - and just like a business, it will grow over time too!
Remember the saying, " work smart, not hard"? You can apply that to the use of social media. Social media is not hard work. Just be smart and use it effectively and the rewards will come!
