Midnight Stealth Art Update

I am still so super excited!  I sold a piece of art!  I sell reprints of my artwork on FineArtAmerica.com.  There are all sorts of products you can by my art on.  My first sale was an iPhone6 case that had a picture I had painted on it.  All I did was share the cases my artwork was available on to all of my social networks publicly.  I posted them publically with a few strategic hash tags.  I basically did a call out for anyone who got a new phone for Christmas to dress it up with an awesome new case.  My post reached someone in Long Island City, NY and they bought it!  Yea!  First Sale!  I love the way fineartamerica.com is set up.  I upload my images, choose what I want my base price to be (my profit) and they take care of all the printing and shipping and everything.  They have their base price for each product and what I say I want is what I get when the product sells.  All I have to do is market it.  Love it!

Here is the phone case I sold.



To see other cell phone cases I have available please visit (other models available):

Well everyone who keeps up with my blog, knows I was having internet problems.  This resulted in me trading in the new Touch screen computer for one that is not.  I basically traded the touch screen for the option to have a disc drive and LAN port.  This means no more practicing on the Fresh Paint app.  I actually found the app to be more difficult than just practicing the old fashion way, anyway, so this is ok.  It could have been because I couldn't find a precision stylis available locally.  I really didn't like (the smallest I could find) round type stylis.  I had to kind of guess where the lines were going to end up being on the screen within the stylis area.  I would prefer a more precision pencil lead point looking stylis for doing art digitally.  Still I think I did a pretty good job considering.  I think if I go back to practicing the old fashion way, that I may end up having more sketches and paintings available anyway.

I know there is a light house in West Quidby Maine that kind of identifies the setting.  I would like to practice that.  Practice a sunrise, some people, Dodge Ram truck, and fire.  Thinking of it in this way, I could have a print for each that is actually just practice for the larger piece.  Then I would have more options of art to offer people.  Awesome!

Genealogy Update

Yea I just got done with a long project on the family tree!  You haven't heard much from me in the last week because I had to exchange my computer and set everything back up.  Plus I kept coming across similar sounding names and families within my family tree.  I decided to go through the list of all people and do a clean up.  Merging all duplicates, and deleting any floaters that remained.  Floaters are people I got while attaching records or converging with other ancestry.com member trees, only to later on find out they weren't relevant and deleted the head of the family.  The floaters are the other people attached to the deleted person, who didn't go away.  Anyway since this is a combined tree for my son, there are a lot of people in it.  The total trimmed tree is up to 3,133 people!  I still have lots of work to do on it, and I am sure there will be more people added.  At least what is there now is relevant.
So yea! Now I can get working on the heritage book again.  I can also start working on the Ancestry for the remaining lines.  I also plan to go through and make sure I have as much descendent data as possible as well.  It's always nice to know who my son might be related to, to prevent future issues.  :)  More interesting stuff to come soon.  Just had to stay focused on that one task, so that I would quit coming across duplicates (tangled branches). LOL :)

Coming up next is information on Henry Jackson Tallent.  Here is how he is related to me:

BTW…I made the connection that Henry Jackson Tallent was Fannie Bell's father because of her sister Lucinda showing up on the census with him.  My mother-in-law remembered that Lucinda Neely was Fanny's sister.

That is all I could find on him.  Next up his father, Johnathon Jackson Tallent.

Technical Difficulties

Hey all! Sorry about the delay again! I was having extremely frustrating technical difficulties yesterday with our WiFi (not the first time) and we are switching back to the old tried and true hardwire system today. This requires me to exchange my new computer (no LAN port) so it may be a couple of days before I have everything set up ready to post again. Just thought I would give you a heads up
