I feel I have been neglecting you.  But I have been stuck in a quagmire of details that I must wade through in order to open my Etsy store.  Today I researched printers.  How hard can it be to find a nice local printer who will show me all kinds of lovely papers, make helpful suggestions and have prices that allow me to be competitive.  I spent three hours looking up printers on my computer after which I was cross and cross-eyed.  There were printers who had lovely services and papers in the far reaches of the world, but nothing local.  There were local printers whose prices were more than I planned to charge per print.  Finally I got in my car and drove to a printer who advertized art reproduction.  Hopefully if I went in person someone would help me.  I wanted to be sold on their marvelous services.  Into the store I went and asked if they did art prints,  "Yes but nothing smaller than 11*14". That wasn't so good for my little 7*7 watercolour.  "Do you have any nice matte paper?",  I asked.  "This is matte" , said the man pointing at some shiny thin paper.  Home again I went and back to my computer.  However, I think I have prevailed.  I found a printer who does fine art prints at reasonable prices.  I emailed them and they responded right away, even calling me by name!  My hopes are high! 
    I have also been doing some pictures for the store.  Doing art is a great stress reliever!
