UGH!!! Social Media will be my undoing. I recently took a class on how to use social media to help market my art. So I've been making changes, searching groups, put myself out there more. Now I need to double the time I scan thru my FB pages and discovered that it was worth while posting more frequently to Instagram . Twitter gets caught in the middle somewhere. And then there is Pinterest , my Etsy shop and this blog. So for starters I thought I needed to add all the social media icons to my blog but couldn't find any I liked so doodled my own.

I haven'd done a post card swap for several years. ihanna offers a swap twice a year now and they are always fun. Not only to create the postcards but mostly receiving them.

It's been a while since I posted any new work. Last summer I was lucky to get a lot of bees on blooms so this is the results. The Bees have it.

If you like them I will have them available this summer at the art fairs on my events list. Thanks for visiting. Cyndee Starr She Who Doodles
