Well, after much frustration, it is done. I invite you to visit my work in progress, my new online shop for photography gifts and stationary at
www.cafepress.com/CoyoteLaughing. I am still learning and have made some mistakes, which I am sure is a normal thing to do. But, it has begun. My first series of items is called, Summer Pleasures. I still have a few more things to add so that I can offer some mix and match items.
It sure took a long time to get rolling, but now I think I have the hang of it. I made the error of creating many of my first items in the 'create and buy' section. This was a mistake. When you open the store, you may not be able to transfer items that have already been created. Fortunately, I did not open a Basic shop (you can't transfer from 'create and buy' to a Basic shop) and I was able to eventually transfer the items I already made. It took a little help from the help center at Cafepress. I must say they were prompt and quite helpful. Thank goodness!
In addition to adding items without text to my Summer Pleasures Collection, I have a few other collections in the works; Sunsets, Butterflies, Flowers-Wild and Garden Variety, and eventually some travel sets. And somewhere in there, I intend to get my new blog up and running. Realistically, that might not happen until early August and I have some time off coming as I transition out of full time work to self-employed. But it WILL happen.
With only two weeks left at my full time job, I am right on schedule. Actually, I sort of wish I had begun this part of the process earlier, but what can I say. Life happens!
So, please checkout my online store and let me know what you think.
