It will soon be Christmas, and I am sure that like me everyone is begining to wonder, what to try to do next.
If like me you have a number of online shops and web-sites, you will be trying to promote and get yourself noticed.
If you would like to take a look at any of my stores, just follow the links.
I have a couple of craft fairs coming up, but the one that I am really excited, nervous and having sleepless nights about is on the 4th Dec at Sherborne in Somerset.
If you know Sherborne you will know that it is a very old and quite wealthy town.
The fair is right opposite the beautiful Abbey, and I will find it quite hard not to abandon my stall in order to soak up the atmosphere and take loads of pictures.
I have a wedding to photograph in mid Oct, (the bride to be caught me in a moment of weakness, and persuded me and convinced me that I could do it). When I saw her yesterday I asked her if she was getting nervous yet and she said no (just me then).
So please send positive thoughts and luck, I will let you know how I get on and hopefully post some photos.
Blog to you all soon.

Had a bit of a tidy up
So we are already in September,which means we will soon be starting to think about Christmas, and having the family round. Which means having a good autumn clear out.
So I have had a bit of a tidy up of my web-site, and made the pricing a lot clearer, so when the drop down menu is used it's not quite so messy.
So why not have a look around, and see if you can get any ideas for presents, for yourself or your loved ones.
Remember a piece of wall art is not just for Christmas.
Have a great weekend.
Off out with Skeet now.

It was a Friday evening,the sun was shining and the sky was blue, and from the moment I saw her, I was head-over-heels in love.
Her name is Megan, and she is a magnificent and very statuesque Harrier Hawk.
I had been pestering her Falconeer Steve to let me take some photographs of her for months,but when if first met her, I was stunned by her beauty and grace.
Megan is 6 years old, and is the pround parent of a male Harrier Hawk.
I was told that she now needs to get down to her flying weight,for her to be able to hunt as nature intended, free,fast and deadly.
The Harrier Hawk,as most birds of prey,kill their food instantly with their powerful talons,and their exceptional eyesight allows them to see their food from great distances.
When you have a Harrier Hawk on your arm,you can feel the power and strenght of the talons of these magnifencet creatures even through the heavy falconeers glove.
Megan in accompaned on her hunting by two very friendly and playful Springer Spaniels.
These working dogs are a pair, and Steve is hoping that Jess and Tom will mate and have puppies,so guess where I will be, right there with my camera, taking puppy pictures.
Steve and his wife Mary, are the most contented and happy couple, and being in the company of these dogs and birds, I can understand why.

Long Time No Blog
So it is 3.07 by the sounds going on it must mean the football is about to start.
Have taken refuge with Skeet and the computer, he is crashed out by my feet,(which means I can hardly move) the heat is not good if you have a double fur coat like he has, bless him. We went for his walk in the country lanes at 6.30am,so that we didn't get too hot and bothered.
If you get the chance take a look at www.creativestores.co.uk I am a featured seller, and Laurie has done a bio of me.
This is going to be a really quick blog because I have still got a lot to do a woman never really gets a day off.
Got to go, mentioned the word bath to Skeet and he's gone!
Come on boy,the buckets of water arn't really for you.

When no means no, (and how to get out of trouble)
I am so bad,and I am in so much trouble. They went out without me and I got bored. I am not allowed to chew the doorframe anymore, and they have moved everything in the kitchen out of my reach.
So I don't know how I managed it,but I jumped over the child-gate that keeps me in the kitchen and out of the rest of the house. And then I created bedlam; I have totally wrecked the whole house. I have been in the bedrooms and thrown everything out of the waste bin and torn the bin into pieces, some of it is in the bedroom and some of it is on the stairs, and a lot of it is in the living room.
I have taken all the clothes of the airier and strewn it all over the house, I have totally blitzed the magazines and newspapers. And I have opened up and removed from the packaging their new duvet cover and pillowcases that only arrived this morning. Did I say that I think that I am in big trouble? But if I can get back over the gate and pretend to be asleep, maybe they won't know that I did it.
Well their back, and at first I thought that I had got away with it. For a spilt second they weren't sure if they had been robbed, the house is such a state,and to this day they still don't know how I got over the gate.(I do but I shan't be doing that again)
They decide that I have to be punished,what are they going to do? Are they going to shout at me? Are they going to smack me? Julie is walking towards me. No you are a naughty boy, she says.
I try to cuddle up to her and she tells me to lay on my bed and stay. But I want to make it up to her,but I am told No I must stay in my bed,and then they both walk away from me and close the door.
I feel so bad, it has taken two large black bin liners to clear everything up and they walk past me like I don't exist. The house and the mess have been cleaned up, and they give me what they went out to get, a new bed, I am so bad. Still never mind I am only a puppy, and I know not to do that again,(well not on such a grand scale anyway)
So how did I get round them you ask, well I did the sit down and lean back routine,that I used to get them in the first place. That worked on Nick,Julie was a bit harder,but I just put my head on her lap, and gave her my I am Sooo sorry look, that in the end she had to forgive me. (It works every time)
See you next week.

So many web-sites so little time

So many web-sites so little time
Afternoon all.
I am beginning to feel so swamped by all the forum,blogs,twitters,facebook and other sites that I am promoting on, that I have been neglecting my own personal web-site.
I haven't been properly promoting it for a while,and it shows. (Google Analytics is a wonderful thing)
So this is all about http://www.juliemonkphotography.co.uk Here you will find an abundance of images,which can be purchased on my site via Pay Pal. You can choose the size and have an option for posters which are printed on a Epsom professional large format printer; onto 350g semi-matte paper. Or as a canvas print which is printed on brilliant white canvas.
Just click on the image that you like and go to the drop-down menu for size and finish.
Please feel free to visit the guest-book and leave any feed-back or comments, I would love to know what you think.
I now really need to get on with the garden and water my veg,which is growing really well, considering that I just plant them and let them get on with it.
Have a great week, and don't forget to visit.
