App That Previews Art on Your Wall Takes the Risk Out of Internet Buy

 Apple Apps have had this capability for awhile, Previewing Art found on-line on Your Own Walls, and now Androids have caught up in cooperation with Fine Art America and their various website programs for artists. Of course once you get the Pixels.com App you want to be looking for Heather Kirk!

The ONLY place to find PHONE CASES (iPhone and Samsung Galaxy) with Heather Kirk's art! http://pixels.com/artists/heather+kirk



The most comprehensive photographic art site by Heather J. Kirk, with art available on photographic paper, watercolor paper, canvas, metal and acrylic. You can even preview a huge variety of matting and framing before you buy. http://heather-kirk.artistwebsites.com




In addition you can find Home Accents and Gifts there: Throw Pillows, Duvet Covers, Shower Curtains, Tote Bags, T-Shirts and Note Cards. http://heather-kirk.artistwebsites.com

 

And created for Interior Designers and Designer Trade ONLY (trade and volume discounts available) =  http://designerprints.com/artists/heather+kirk















The Pixels.com App can be found in Google Playstore and has lots of capabilities, but the one that is a standout to me is the ability to see how art will look on your walls prior to purchasing on-line!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Pixels&hl=en

You can even walk around your home with the camera turned on, and the app will display your images perfectly positioned on your wall while you're walking! See an example with the (romantic) video example.



You won't get the "View on a Wall" option on a computer, but go ahead and Click on one of the Links above to check the fine art photography out anyway.

Small Business Saturday® founded by American Express to help bring more business to small businesses

I've heard of Small Business Saturday of course, but never knew its origin. Time to give credit where credit is due!

"Nov. 28 is Small Business Saturday®, a day founded by American Express to help bring more business to small businesses everywhere. Find out how to use the day to help your business connect with your local community and encourage customers to show their love when they Shop Small."

Why should small businesses continue to keep AmEx, a HUGE business, in the forefront? Why not? They have the power to bring attention to an important issue that small businesses can't.

For example:

http://localfirst.org/images/stories/SLC-Final-Impact-Study-Series.pdf

Here is how American Express OPEN forum interprets this report: "A 2012 study by Civic Economics, a company that analyzes the impact of buying local, has found that local businesses are known to have a “multiplier effect” on their communities—the idea that every dollar spent at a local, independently owned business can stay in the community and help generate a far greater economic value. But it’s not just about the economy: Research shows that vibrant local business communities lead to more charitable giving in a community and more walkable neighborhoods with unique character, according to Michael H. Shuman, an economist and author who specializes in community economics."
-- https://www.americanexpress.com/us/small-business/openforum/articles/valuable-players-crucial-role-small-businesses-play-communities/?linknav=us-of-topics-trending-article

Remember that many internet only based businesses fall under Small Businesses. And they definitely help you to avoid the CRUSH of bodies... Especially when artists can now provide a variety of gifts as well as art, such as throw pillows like this one by Photographic Artistry by Heather J. Kirk.

http://heather-kirk.artistwebsites.com/products/thunderbird-glints-in-the-sunlight-heather-kirk-galaxys6-case-cover.html

And how crazy would it be to sleep in the hand of the Buddha, in a bed with such a Duvet Cover.

Gathering - "God's Little Blessings Series"

It's been too long since my last post in a series called "God's Little Blessings - because they all add up and they all matter..." I share here a conversation to demonstrate that not only are there blessings, but we can trust that things are happening "behind the scenes". Sometimes we are blessed to know about them, other times we may never know.

 

I like how this friend describes prayer - "accepted" and "gathering". No, we don't always get the 'vending machine answers' we want or expect, but they are heard:

 

Friend: First I would like to tell you thank you for praying the other day. I swear to god from that day on I didn't get not even one pain. I think God accepted our prayer. Thank you.

 

Me: Thank you so much for sharing with me that the prayer made a difference. I know deep in my heart that it does, but every once in awhile I feel like He doesn't hear, then someone like you reminds me that He does. Praise God! And many blessings to you my friend.

 

Friend: Oh, God hears all the time and God loves gathering prayers.

How not to ask for "stupid" help...

Next in a series called "God's Little Blessings - because they all add up and they all matter...":

There are some really basic things that any girl, all right let's not be sexist, that any person should know how to do without looking it up. In this case, how to bake a potato. I mean I know - piece it a few time, bake it, right! But at what temperature, for how long? These things are important enough for me to want to know...but not important enough for me to remember, lol!

But if I called or texted to ask you, "How do you bake a potato?" wouldn't you be irritated? "JUST bake it!"
 or "JUST it!" (That's what happens when you try to copy and paste Google's logo by the search bar.)

So that I did, and I am grateful that people are able to make a whole blog post out of baking a potato.
http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-bake-a-potato-three-easy-methods-157073

  (Their picture, not mine)

And then I can double check on another search to make sure the directions are pretty much the same for using a toaster oven...which is my definition of baking ... which is why I need help. :)

Here is my lovely picture.

What are those gashes, you ask. Those were my delicate attempts to remove the eyes...

Tumbling

Today I saw a tumble weed roll across fields...funny I think this iconic image has mostly been in my imagination or on TV in the past, in spite of living in the desert.

Then it crossed four lanes of traffic. I was sure it would cause problems, but perhaps it is engineered (by the Creator) to follow paths of the open wind. It dodged all cars!

 A few years ago I saw these amazing sites above and photographed them. They can now be found on my Photographic Artistry website on the "Tumbling In" gallery page.

Short cuts are rarely short

“The short cut is always the longest path…The bad news is that in the effort to skip the time involved {in creating real change in your life}they’ve cost themselves more time... Wanting it NOW keeps you from having it. ... People who want it now face many discouragements because of their many false starts…In the end, the ‘want it now’ people end up back where they started over and over again.”

 

-- from 9 Things You Simply Must Do to Succeed in Love and Life by Dr. Henry Cloud

Growing up I remember we all used to groan in the car when my dad announced he was taking a short cut. It was code language indicating that we either were already lost or we were about to be lost...but the trek certainly was NOT going to be short!

Still, I learned a few things from those experiences. Don't sweat mistakes or 'creative ways of arriving' and don't ever TELL anyone you took a wrong turn. I ALWAYS get there...eventually.

Despite fear...

Quotables:

 

Flying Feathers copyright Heather J. Kirk

 

How many times must the Lord say to me ‘Have no fear’ before I have no fear?

‘You are not a coward Joshua!’

Joshua gave a grim laugh. ‘The Lord knows differently.’

 

‘If you are a coward then so are we all. There is not a man among us who does not fear. Brave men do what the Lord commands despite their fear, as you have done.

From "The Warrior: Caleb" by Francine Rivers, published by Oasis Audio



Red Thunder in Motion copyright Heather J. Kirk

" For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."2 Timothy 1:7  (KJV)

"...being raised to be men...like thier mothers." OUCH!

Some SERIOUS #spokenword about #beingaman, about being PRESENT! I know women will "Like" this post - but the message is really for MEN! Are you out there? Are you willing to LISTEN and SHOW UP. "WE HAVE A GENERATION OF BOYS...THAT ARE BEING RAISED TO BE MEN...JUST LIKE THEIR MOTHERS." ouucch Jonathan Evans​ !

I don't want to stereotype - there are a lot of men who are right there raising their kids and living Godly examples...I am blessed to have many in my own family. But that does not negate that too many are not present or are setting negative, or hurtful, examples. The video is by Jonathan Evans, son of Tony Evans and chaplain for the Dallas Cowboys.

Then go see the #Woodlawn (a #football #movie for everyone), providing examples of a few more #amazingmen who lead by example - some confident throughout, a reluctant hero and strong conversions - yet the underlying personalities stay the same. I love that part...how God uses us the way he made us! (Release date October 16, 2015. Make it a great opening weekend!)

Act Immediately - Help Restore Funding to Fight Child Labor

While one of the issues that I am passionate about ending is child and adult #sexualexploitation, #childlabor is so closely related it's hard to argue that one does not feed or even cause the other. Impoverished families, particularly in other parts of the world, tend to want children to contribute to #familyincome. Working children are placed in dangerous situations with adults who can easily exploit them away from a parent's watchful eye...or even (though we don't like to admit it) with a parent's explicit or implicit approval. A working child does not get an education, which perpetuates the likelihood of #poverty cycles continuing.

"The #InternationalLaborAffairsBureau - #ILAB - at the #DepartmentofLabor has worked for 20 years to reduce exploitative child labor through education. Last year the office received about $59 million, but now the entire funding for these programs is in serious jeopardy. The lack of funding for ILAB will leave #children, who would have been helped through these programs, at risk for exploitation. Fill out our* easy form to ask your members of #Congress to restore this critical #funding." (*World Vision)

Deadline to sign: October 11, 2015
