More ways to access our Blog!

New Visions Blogspot is now featured on our website! http://newvisionsstudio.com
Now visitors to our site can get direct up-to-date information through our blog, without having to be connected to our social media sites (a lot of you already know we have a strong presence on Facebook and Twitter, posting pretty much everyday!) Not everyone checks their Facebook every 10 minutes like we do (welllll when I am at home... still do not have a smart-phone. I'm starting to think I'm the only person out there) We know a lot of people are looking at our website everyday and we wanted to bring the blog to them, easily and readily.
Big News! This blog is now going to replace out email mailing list. If you are on our mailing list, don't worry! On this blog, you can sign up to have each post send directly to your email. That's a different email send right to you for everything we have to say! It's much easier for us (no more html!) and the goal is to get the information to our fans as it happens.

We also make an honest effort to follow as many artsy and crafty blogspots as we can! We will share with our viewers when they have something interesting to blog about or fantastic giveaways.

BTW, see this awesome giveaway Art Bead Scene

That's all for now folks. Come in and see us at our gallery!
