So I kind of feel like I'm sending these out into the void. They take a fair amount of time to compile which is perhaps not the best use of my time if no one is interested. I'm going to try out a slim version to simplify this with just a few highlights and links to where you can see more.
I created a wide array of products this week as well as a new wave pattern design. Here are some highlights:

Surfside Girls: The Secret of Danger Point
14. Surfside Girls: The Secret of Danger Point by Kim DwinellMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
It's a kid's book but a fun summer read with great visual storytelling. Our heroes are Samantha and Jade, 12 year old BFFs who surf, skateboard, and become involved in a supernatural mystery. It makes me want to go to the beach.
I hope we get to see more of Sam and Jade's adventures.

Breathe: The Simple, Revolutionary 14-Day Program to Improve Your Mental and Physical Health
11. Breathe: The Simple, Revolutionary 14-Day Program to Improve Your Mental and Physical Health by Belisa VranichMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I found this really helpful. It's going to take a while yet before my default breathing is totally fixed but it's much improved and I do feel better.
The organization of info could be a bit better arranged, but the exercises are simple.
When she has you measure lung capacity near the beginning, I would do it as she suggests but then again to your max so later you can compare max capacity to your increased max capacity.
Definitely worth a shot if you want to improve your well-being. Bonus is that you can do it for free without medication.

Life of Art SitRep #434 Time to Soar, Photography, Birthdays
Started the week by uploading 41 photographs from last week and culled 7. Also shot quite a bit getting the hang of some staged product photography. 219 photographs from which I've culled 125 so far. Some of this is due to getting used to a borrowed camera after mine became too problematic to use. The battery door catch is broken and takes a ridiculous amount of thumb strength to keep closed. I created a couple of rigs but they were still less than ideal.
Time to do some new camera research.
Nonetheless I persevered and also photographed some flowers but haven't had a chance to upload those yet.
On the product front, I created two variations of a Time to Soar Abstract Blue Watercolor Inspiration Poster (the other one doesn't have the white border if you want to change the poster size), an Abstract Blue Watercolor Painting Poster, Tropical Pink Orange Hibiscus Flower Photo Return Address Labels, and Green Fern Leaves Nature Photo Return Address Labels:
Also filled out some birthday designs from last week with The Big 4 Oh Black White Checkered 40th Birthday Guest Book and The Big 6 Oh Black White Checkered 60th Birthday Guest Book:
Also created 50th Birthday Black White Checkered Pattern Satin Ribbon, 40th Birthday Black White Checkered Pattern Satin Ribbon, and 60th Birthday Black White Checkered Pattern Satin Ribbon:
Created collections for the The Big Five Oh Black White 50th Birthday Party, The Big Four Oh Black White 40th Birthday Party, The Big Six Oh Black White 60th Birthday Party:
Did a variety of analyses of my store to start out June.
Created new birthday, graduation, and party supplies category icons for my store, Rocklawn Arts.
Pinned to boards at Rocklawn Arts on Pinterest.
Made monthly backups. Have you backed up lately?
