Social Media Articles
We have a lot of fun with social media, especially Instagram. I’m constantly learning about the latest ways to promote small businesses on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and WordPress blogs. There’s so much info out there it’s hard not to suffer from information overload. So I try to post about useful social media articles and tips that I’ve personally found to be useful.

“Red Alert”, a 16” x 20” original acrylic, just came off my easel & is hanging for sale at the @ARTCoopDuncan ($395). When I was a little girl, my sister had a set of china birds she had collected from a tea company. She let me admire them, & very carefully play with them. I was always partial to the little Scarlet Tanager bird, which apparently lives here on the Island, although I’ve never seen one.
Oops 😬 I ate the maple doughnut before I took the pic 😋 #delish @werewolfdoughnuts Get on down to the Duncan Farmers Market if you want totally yummy
