Oil Painting, Drawing and Watercolor for All

I am SOOO Behind, Painting NEW ART

2011-02-08T16:37:00.000-05:00

I have been painting like a mad person for the last three months. The painting I am creating are something I was doing a LONG time ago and now I am reinventing the idea. Most of them are called Spirit Wood, but there are other versions also. Check my site brandycraft.com and go to the page called 'new art'. These are fun to do and I hope people like them.
My son has gotten me to make a couple videos too. That was a challenge. They are on you-tube and can be found under my name, Brandy House. Google my name and see what all I have been up to. Wheeeee!!!!
Ok, I'm running again, but I'll try to keep up better.

Artwork Update for BrandyCraft

2010-05-20T23:38:00.001-04:00

I have done a facelift to BrandyCraft.com. It needed some attention and a few more pages with new art. I am also working on doing some lesson type pages and will add more soon. New content is simple drawing instruction and new paintings. Just for a side note, almost all of my art is available for purchase and there are links on site. I upgraded the book images so they would look nicer. Gotta keep you nice people happy. I am going to be doing a newsletter so you will have something to look forward to. Give it a cruise and let me know what you think. I appreciate any feedback. I can be e-mailed at brandy@brandycraft, in case you didn't know. Hope you go look around, of course ordering is nice too. LOL.

A New Horizon

2010-04-25T13:31:00.001-04:00

There's a new kid on the street, and his name is Data! How valuable do you think he is? Would you believe well over 14 BILLION DOLLARS? It's true! And that is just for 1 year! Imagine what it will be when this 'kid' grows up!

Wouldn't you like to be a part of that!

AND did you know that almost 800,000 kids are reported missing in 1 year! That averages to over 2100 EVERY DAY! Since the Amber Alerts system started in 1997 less than 500 have been found with the aid of their system. If you could help save just one more child, wouldn't it be worth it? Plus tapping into a way to make some cash AND help. Who wouldn't want that? The crooks that's who! The child snatchers and abusers!

Are you one of the people that want to make a difference in even a small way? How? Join us in our fight to make catching these crooks easier for the law enforcement people. Creating a database to document where vehicles are at a moment of time. Everyone has to eat. Maybe one of the cars in the grocery store parking lot is responsible for the abduction of a child. Would YOU want that person found? If it's YOUR child, would you not want EVERYTHING POSSIBLE DONE?

Are you with me? Are you ready to join me and make a difference, even a small one? One person CAN make a difference, and if that one person adds friends and family and anyone else they can find to the fight, then WE CAN WIN!

Are you ready? go to http://www.dna.brandycraft.com and join me in the war against these insane numbers. Save one more child!

Data Collectors Wanted

2010-03-25T21:35:00.001-04:00

Hi everyone! I am now a member of Data Network Affiliates, and can offer everyone the chance to join me on the ground floor of a data collecting company. Yeah, I hear you. OMG another scam! Well, it's not. The company is based in Florida and is allowing anyone to sign on for free and to have the possibility of making major dollars. They are doing targeted marketing for lots of big companies and even servicing amber alerts. That is just the tip of the iceberg. You would need to express your interest by emailing me at bhouse58@gmail.com, allow me to enter your name and email into the system, attend the training teleconference to learn exactly what it is about. I am not trained enough to tell you all the particulars, but I can give you access to those who can answer your questions. So, email me at bhouse58@gmail.com with your interest and desire to learn.

Artist Web Sites

2010-03-18T15:39:00.001-04:00

http://www.brandy-house.artistwebsites.com is a new site listed with Fine Art America. They do the print on demand, framed or not, several different sizes and paper and even canvas. Terrific site for anyone with art to sell. It's a bit tricky learning the how to's but once you do it's great. So give it a visit, starting with mine of course. Then go check out my other sites, brandycraft.com cougardesign.coom shitzngigglez.com and the various links from all of them. Have fun surfing my mess.

Save Some Cash

2010-02-10T10:26:00.001-05:00

Ok, I talked about this before but I guess nobody wants to save money. Saving money is almost as good as making money, if you don't have to spend it it's still there. Right?
I'm talking about those of you who accept credit cards in whatever manner you do it, be it Pay Pal or in the store scanning. You can save cash on the fees that are charged for every scan, possibly as much as 40%. Wouldn't that be worth at least checking it out? Are you so stuck in your ways you don't want to take a chance on changing something, that you might actually be able to save? All it takes is a little time to call, 919-749-8735 or 919-749-8755 or e-mail triangleprocessing@gmail.com and refer to1818 so I get credit. Let the people that answer those numbers explain how it works. They will guarantee that if they can't save you money they will pay you $500. What's to lose? NOTHING.

Art and Painting and Books

2010-02-05T17:17:00.001-05:00

My art, paintings and books need me. It suddenly dawned on me that I have been wasting time on trying to pursue the almighty dollar by plugging other peoples products. How dumb is that when I have products of my own? So, here I am speaking up on my behalf. I am an artist. I am an author, with 8, yes 8, books out there that need to be marketed and sold, hard copy or pdf. So can someone explain to me why I've been working on "other peoples stuff"?

I have my art, paintings and drawing listed on over a dozen different places online, two of which will print, frame and ship in different sizes to anyone, in various formats. Likewise I have my books listed in several places, not the least of which is Amazon. I also have 8 websites running, so what the 'he double toothpicks' am I doing promoting for others?

Ok, this is my wake up call. My main site, http://www.brandycraft.com has all of my products, with the exception of 3 books, listed and ready for purchase. It also has links to my other sites, which I have learned is actually backwards, the links are supposed to go TO brandycraft not away from it; but I figure they are mine so....I may fix it later. In the meantime, visit http://www.brandycraft.com and tell me what you think. Is it too much? Do I need to split up products? Do I need to add everything I do? Whatever. Just give me a visit and some input, maybe sign my guestbook so I know I'm not alone. Until next time....

The whole point is that I will be doing alot of concentrating on my own stuff.

Save $$ on Credit Card Processing

2010-02-04T10:29:00.001-05:00

Save money on processing credit cards on your business accounts! Everyone knows about Pay Pal and Alert Pay right? What if I told you you could save money by switching to NAB? Would you be interested? What if I told you that if you signed up and you don't save money you will be reimbursed $500? Now are you curious? I have stumbled onto a company that will beat the charges that you incur simply allowing your customers to use credit cards. I did not know that PayPal charges 4% per transaction, guess I didn't read the fine print, or didn't care at the time. With NAB it drops to 2.5% or less. So, are you curious yet?
All it takes is a 5 minute phone call or even a simple e-mail to learn how you can start saving money.
Refer to the reference number 1818 and
Call 919-749-8755 or fax: 919-239-4629
Email: brandy@brandycraft.com or chestergriffis@gmail.com
Don't wait! There is a promotion this month!
This is applicable to anyone with an account to process credit cards, be it online or in a physical store, or both.
Give us a call or email and get going soon, you're wasting money!
