On Artfire right now there is a promotion campaign going on called the Crazy Train. The basic idea is that everyone that signs up gets to be a V.I.P. rider on the train for 2 days and in those 2 days all the other riders check out that persons shop and show off to the world through blog writing, networking sites, bookmark sites, email... well any which way they can the goods of the VIP rider. It is aimed at not only getting people to view the V.I.P.'s shop but also to take a look around Artfire and get to know the site a little bit more. Here are a few of the latest V.I.P.'s to be on the train.
3zArt creates switch plates and mouse mats in colourful designs for use around the home. The one above is a single switch giraffe print in orange. Great for a safari themed childs bedroom.
djstoreroom has a mixture of items, from decorated pegs to pretty handmade purses like the one pictured above. This close up shows clearly the attention to detail put into her work.
Shine Your Hiney Soap does exactly as the name suggests. She makes soaps and this cute little oatmeal raisin cookie sheep shaped soap looks like a fun bath time friend.
Silver River Jewelry has a shop full of varied styles of jewellery. The one above attracted me to feature it because of the distressed metal and the colours that process has created.
Creative Cove Jewelry Designs has lots of pretty beads in her shop. This pink mix of Agate and Adventurine on copper is an example of her eye catching work.
Wooley Creek creates tribal and ethnic jewellery. These lovely blue heart Cabachon earrings are such a vivid turquoise colour, are so fashionable right now. Get a pair and wear them with all the turquoise spring clothing on sale.
Being a V.I.P. Crazy Train passenger is so much fun. I was lucky enough to be the first passenger and you get to feel like royalty for the 2 days. So go and make these people feel special by visiting their shops.

Artfire's Crazy Train
Yesterday was the start of the Artfire Crazy Train promotions. This was set up by the ever so lovely Paula of Picard Creative. Basically what it comes down to is lots of people sign up to be on the train and then each person is scheduled to be in the VIP carriage of the train for 2 days. For those two days the rest of the people on the train check out the VIP's shop and pick out items to show to the rest of the world, by blogging, twittering, plurking, email... anyway they can think of really. Well I was Lucky enough to be the first person in the VIP Lounge. So Yesterday I woke up and logged on to the net and found all my shop contents being talked about all over the place. It was fabulous! I felt like a superstar!
The thing that most touched me though was this. Everyday on the Artfire fora there is a thread started for people to post their "Item of the day" and to my surprise so many people instead of picking thier own goods to show off they picked mine. This kind but simple act almost made me cry. Silly really, to consider of all the things people did to promote me yesterday, that one should affect me the most. I guess it's because I wasn't expecting it. So in honor of those people picking my goods to show off yesterday I'm going to put an item of each of theirs on todays blog. Please click on the photos and take a look around their studios. They all have some many gorgeous items for you to buy.
Thank you all for promoting my work. To everyone that spent time twittering, blogging, plurking, bookmarking, networking, singing from the roof tops, emailing, dancing in the street or any other kind of promotion about my shop, I would like to send you all a giant squishy hug.
