I just found out today that for about a month, my checkout system at my online store  (www.lanrocks.biz) was disabled by accident. I want to extend my sincere apology to all the nice people who tried to purchase painted rock art from me, and got stuck at the end of the process. It must have been very frustrating. It is all fixed now.

     I had a bunch of phone calls to several different people who work for Paypal and Yahoo. They were so kind and patient. I had courteous treatment from each and every one of them. I cannot say enough good stuff about my experience with tech support from both companies. And Paypal credited my account for 1 month of service that I paid for, but did not get. I am very pleased.

     The good news in all this is that my store is now wide open for business. I will make every effort to get orders out and delivered in time for Christmas. I am pleased and excited to be able to send out my products that are purchased for gifts. I can take Christmas orders until December 20.

     I am going to be painting tomorrow. I did not paint today because there have been way too many things going on at my  house. Sometimes if I cannot paint, I get really "antsy". Much like my husband, who is a runner, gets if he can't get out for a run. All I can say as there better not be a snow day tomorrow...

     I have to tell you that it's very nice to work at home next to a lit Christmas tree, with the tunes cranked and all the time in the world to create something that I really want to create. That's a really awesome job. The more I do this, the more I realize that my job before this was SO un-awesome. I thought I liked it. Now I know that I didn't like it. I'm glad that I can see the difference now! Thanks for stopping by.I hope the Holidays are good for you.-Lin
