My Art Collectibles

Starting a fine art, collectibles and gifts website was a major milestone for this ex-corporate warrior. Cherish Collectibles features fine art by award-winning American artist Edna Hibel, as well as fine art collectables like collector plates and dolls. It's been both fun and frustrating, growing a business while battling Goliaths. Jesus is with me, and He will not let me fall.

EDNA HIBEL'S MOTHER'S DAY COLLECTIBLE PLATE



The Edna Hibel collectible plate for Mother's Day 2006, Angela and Aundre, has proven to be very popular. Everybody seems to be ordering it. Obviously, Mother's Day being just around the corner must have a lot to do with it. It makes me happy to know that people everywhere are remembering their moms.

And what better way than with a beautiful porcelain collectible plate capturing a tender moment between mother and child? Mom will feel loved everytime she sees it. No wonder collectible plates have become a much-loved aspect of home decorating. Nothing quite says 'home sweet home' like a wall, or display cabinet, full of lovely plates.

I'm going to need a bigger home for myself, as I adore such cottage charm home decorating myself. I can just see it now, a house on top of a hill, with a large garden, perhaps overlooking a lake. Every room will be filled with gorgeous art and collectibles. Now that's stylish living! Mmmm...

I have to prepare dinner now. Before I go, here are some more quotations about moms, just in time for Mother's Day. Enjoy!

“What do girls do who haven't any mothers to help them through their troubles?”
Louisa May Alcott

“Where there is a mother in the home, matters go well”.
Amos Bronson Alcott

“Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a Mother laid her Baby
In a manger for His bed:
Mary was that Mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little Child.”
Cecil Frances Alexander, Hymn

“You must wake and call me early, call me early, mother dear;
To-morrow 'ill be the happiest time of all the glad New-year;
Of all the glad New-year, mother, the maddest merriest day;
For I'm to be Queen o' the May, mother, I'm to be Queen o' the May.”
Lord Tennyson Alfred

“When my mother had to get dinner for 8 she'd just make enough for 16 and only serve half.”
Gracie Allen

“Any mother could perform the jobs of several air-traffic controllers with ease.”
Lisa Alther

“This is part of the essence of motherhood, watching your kid grow into her own person and not being able to do anything about it. Otherwise, children would be nothing more than pets.”

EDNA HIBEL MOTHERS' DAY 2006 COLLECTION



My Edna Hibel Mothers' Day 2006 Collection is finally on my website, Cherish Collectibles. I must say that this year's range is very pretty, and I'm tempted to shop at my own online store myself! I'm torn between the collectible plate, art tile and ornament, and the mug, coasters, and cutting board really complete the set too. Oh dear! Do have a look, and tell me what you think.

Meanwhile, have a laugh at these quotations about Mom, just in time for Mothers' Day. I think they're a scream!

FIND MONEY MAKING KEYWORDS IN MINUTES

INTERNET MARKETING WITH KEYWORD ELITE


I've been using Keywrd Elite for just a few days and I must say that I'm impressed with how fast it comes up with profitable keywords. It's great at finding money-making niches, at affordable keyword bidding prices.

Keyword Elite even enables me to spy on my competitors' PPC campaigns. I know what keywords they're bidding on, and what keywords they're not. This helps me to find profitable keyword niches where I will have no competitors. Really neat!

I run several websites, some selling physical products and others e-products. Knowing effective website promotion techniques is vital in this business. Tools like Keyword Elite make website marketing more stategic and targeted. Relying on search engine optimization techniques alone is slow. You can't use just one method to increase website traffic.

Keyword Elite has been pretty reliable where researching the big pay per click boys, Google and Yahoo, are concerned, but not so accurate with smaller ones like Enhance. Still, it's been worth the money as I wouldn't have been able to draw up such huge and extensive keyword lists on my own. By the way, did you know that there are websites which actually sell these keyword lists? Now you can create your own list of money-making keywords, as long as you have a keyword search tool like Keyword Elite.

In the old dinosaur days, it would have taken me ages to do such extensive keyword research. Not only has Keyword Elite helped me to attract affordable targeted website traffic to my various websites, but it's also helping to generate AdSense profits. Internet marketing has suddenly become easier, and more fun!
