Ok. I made my point. Seriously though, I spent an entire day at my computer today, with my intern Elizabeth right next to me on a computer too. And what did we do? We hunted for email addresses.

Now doesn't that sound like fun. It started off pretty boring, then we started asking each other questions such as, "I am on number 53. So how many do you have?". I think making it a little competitive helped make it more exciting. The banter of comments about the various websites and the challenge of finding email addresses on the websites was pretty funny. Eventually, by the end of the day, we got pretty punchy. Which was fun. And we ended up with hundreds of new emails so it was well worth it.

So I know you all think I am crazy for spending an entire day on the computer looking for emails of interior designers. But I have to tell you, the campaign is going so well that I WANT TO DO IT. I love knowing so many designers will get to see my art. It makes me very happy. And besides, I do believe in the saying, "No pain, no gain".

Developing a successful art business should be based on good solid business practices. Marketing is really important and sometimes that means lots of time in front of the computer.

Before my day started I did have the chance to take my morning beach walk. I always keep my eye open for sea glass although lately there hasn't been much. So I had assumed the sea glass season was over.

Then this morning the tide was really low (and I could see last night the tide was really high) and there was sea glass everywhere! I do think I found more sea glass this morning than ever. I have no idea why I enjoy the hunt so much. But it really is fun!
