Well after much thought and number crunching, the book from Shutterfly at this time is not available for sale. I was going to offer it to those interested but with the way it’s been priced and such, it’s not really meant to help anyone who’s not just buying it as a gift to make any kind of profit off of it. 😦
In the meanwhile, I will be looking for a more reasonably priced book that will allow people to buy it for a fair price w/o me having to raise the price so high to make a profit that nobody will buy it. I’m checking out some other sites I have my eye on and art in to see what their options on art books are . In the meanwhile, I have beautiful postcard prints of my art available for those interested. Contact me for pricing.

Can anyone tell me WHY someone would say the following items do not fit in as representing Year of the Tiger or Year of the Horse?
Greeting Card Universe never bugged me before but now they do if they think I’m going to stand by and let them tell me these artworks have nothing to do with the Chinese New Year Zodiac, they have another thing coming. I already wrote in the forums at their site and hope I can find out why they decided to reject my entries when they fit the categories of: “Birthdays / Chinese Zodiac” and also “Chinese New Year.” Just feeling seriously irritated by their lack of common sense in this matter.

PS: 09/26/08
Seems my tiger one was messed up when they posted it so it didn’t go through. I had changed all the info but it was messed up and i had to fix it again for the tags and title. 😛 The horse one wasn’t messed up but I added an additional comment to the “artist profile” bit and now both have been accepted.

- Blue Girl Asia Hardcover Book
I received my copy of the book I ordered from Shutterfly and it’s absolutely beautiful. I meant to post some pics here today with this post but at this time I need to find a better cleaner way to take pics w/o getting as much clutter in the background. So for now… enjoy a virtual tour (this is as good as holding the book!)
Let me know what you think. If I get enough interest, I will have hard copies available for sale.

PS 9/23/08: Just noticed my virtual book link isn’t working anymore. I wonder if the share link they sent me is only good for a few days or a few viewings. For those interested in viewing the book, I will put up an animated copy of the slide show of the book. I will also put up a still picture view for those who may not like animation. Sometimes, I wish I knew how to do flash but then half of you’d get mad cause not everyone has updated flash plug-ins. LOL For those in the latter category (myself included) is mostly why I like to keep my sites and blogs as simply coded as I possibly can. 😀 Too much “flash”y stuff and you start losing track of the real purpose of the page. Makes it pretty but sometimes it makes it pretty darn irritating. ;P
