Antique/Artisan Booth Photo Opp for Application

Hi Everyone!

This post issss... 
all 'bout the booth, 'bout the booth, no worries... 
OK...
Sorry... 
got that tune in my head thing... and making up my own lyrics! Ha! :)
Well... 
Local opportunities may be on the horizon and I want to share them here for all to see!
A really neat (which the word neat doesn't even encompass what I mean) place just opened up around where I live and yes...
 did I say neat?? 
Ummm fabulous... Annddd awesome...and phenomenal... 
Like...
 beautiful and full of character kind of place
 opened up called 
Vinterest Antiques!

Can you tell I'm a fan??

They refer to it as "Pinterest come alive!"  And it truly is.  They support local Artisans, DIYer's, and Repurposers...
like myself...((ahem))

SOOOOoooo...
I am teaming up with some other "re-purposers" and "pickers" and applying for a space in this place!

We did a Photo Opp for how our space will look and added some photos of our unique and antique items to show the kinds of items we sell and have sold.

This post will be a part of our application for one of their big booths!

So here are photos for the 1st teammate
who just named her business...

New Plans... Following My Dreams... Making it Happen!

Hey everyone!

I hadn't had time to get around to a "New Year Post"... but I do hope you all had a great start to 2015!

As a new year often brings reflection and new resolutions... I have been in the process of praying and figuring out new goals for  myself over the last few months!

I've made some personal commitments to myself but also some professional goals, as well!

To those who read this blog... you know I started Creative Ambitions many moons ago as a DIYer and have loved every minute of it!

But... as the years have passed... my love for painting art has sparked once again (not that it ever truly left... just put on hold I guess).
I realize that most of you are here for DIYness and not Art.  When I started CA... I had just been blown away from the recession and took a hit with successfully selling my art online... as most people did.  
So CA came from a place of new inspiration of DIY ideas... and it has been great!  Many friendships were made in blog land, in Facebook world, and Pinterest over these last few years.  I've had numerous blog features... including HGTV.com!  I've had so much fun with CA!  But... it was created for DIYness and I have decided to keep it DIY!

So with that in mind and moving forward... I am starting new sites and concentrating more on my art and opportunities that evolve around it.

Creative Ambitions will stay... at least for awhile... and I may end up just linking it to my art page.  I still plan to decorate my mantels and create DIY stuff and post here...

but I am planning on concentrating more on my Art for 2015! 


So far... I've created a new FB page under KJoyner Studios.
&
I joined Instagram as kendrajoyner with KJoyner Studios as my title.

I'm hoping that the 'Studios' part of the title will suggest "creative" in some way because I want to keep it broad enough to include all my creative abilities and talents in the future.

The name has been the hardest part for me.  So many choices and possibilities... but as I take business e-courses... the advice seems to be "use your name" in whatever you choose.


 Now... I need to get an official website (and to see what name is available)... still working on that one. 



But making it happen!!  Woot Woot!

Anywho... 
just wanted to give all who are visiting my blog a heads up on my plans.  I will still be around on Creative Ambitions so if you need me... just holler!!

If you want to check out my art... you can scroll down the home page here at CA and find some.  I have some art photos on the Creative Ambitions Facebook page, as well! 


If you are interested in buying and are local to my area... I currently sell my art in a store called Memories on Market in Dayton, TN.
I hope to expand my art's availability as I grow! 


If you want to follow my artistic adventures... come over and like my new pages!  I would love for you to join me for some creative fun!

Thanks Everyone!!
