top ten countdown

Today on Twitter we counted down AMP's top ten most viewed photos!  It was pretty fun to go through and see what you all chose to view the most and I must say that I was thrilled to see who sat at the #1 spot!  I'm thinking this would be a fun way thing to do each and every month since it really gives me a feel for what everyone is looking for and what promotions to run!

Without further ado, I give you a recap of the top ten!

#10.............................................................................

http://www.etsy.com/listing/60414375/beer-can-art-02-8x10-fine-art

I've become quite the beer snob in the past year and I have to say that Surly sure does make my top ten beer list, so it's fitting that the Beer Can Art 2 photo makes your top ten of most viewed!

#9...............................................................................

http://www.etsy.com/listing/65725555/takeout-time-8x10-fine-art-professional

I love this photo because it was the day that I shared a very interesting pizza in Nagoya, Japan with my brother, husband and parents.  This mini hot dogs and curry to get your brain in the right direction.  It was, er, interesting...

#8...............................................................................

http://www.etsy.com/listing/55169751/from-across-the-room

One of my favorite things to do when we visit the North Shore is to collect a rock from the beach and write the date on it so we can always remember the times we've spent up north... I could use a vacation right now!

#7...............................................................................

http://www.etsy.com/listing/71422607/i-love-java-8x10-fine-art-photographic

Oh yes, its true.  I love JAVA.  Well, the drink.  I've never been to the place...

#6...............................................................................

http://www.etsy.com/listing/71418319/coffee-8x10-fine-art-photographic-print

For a former barrister, this photo conjures up all kinds of smells and tastes... YUM! I can't live without my coffee which is why I was inspired to take a series of coffee related photos and I must say that this series has been very popular when it comes to Etsy treasuries!

#5...............................................................................

http://www.etsy.com/listing/71427246/coffee-heart-8x10-fine-art-photographic

This photo in particular has been extremely popular in Etsy treasuries!  No words needed - this says it all!

#4...............................................................................

http://www.etsy.com/listing/55142211/duomo

This photo dates all the way back to 2005.  My trip to Italy, taken in the Vaticano near my apartment.  Every night my roommates and I would sit on our terrace drinking wine and viewing the beautiful dome as the sun set.  I really do miss those days.

#3...............................................................................

http://www.etsy.com/listing/55336045/the-stacks-2-lake-superior-rock-stacking

I don't really remember ever seeing this until the past two years - rock stacking.  Recently on our trips to Duluth and other towns along the beautiful Lake Superior, we have noticed dozens upon dozens of these small stacked rock sculptures.  People will spend hours creating tons of these little guys and they are so cool!  Although I did not stack these rocks, I sure did fall in love with this photo!  Check out The Stacks 1 for more rock stacking fun!

#2...............................................................................

http://www.etsy.com/listing/54714356/silver

Who knew that this little paver shot could be so adored?  What would I do with this photo?  I would blow it up to a large scale, print it on canvas and hang it in modern room!  It would look AMAZING printed on canvas!

#1...............................................................................

http://www.etsy.com/listing/65729198/street-art-2-8x10-fine-art-professional

"What is that?!" The most frequently asked question about this photo.  What is it?  Well, it was one of many sculptures I found in Nagoya, Japan.  Some sculptures had the rods protruding out of the sculpture and some were flat.  They were very beautiful.  Want to see another?  Go here!

Well, that concludes our top ten for now!  The rankings change every day, so make sure you visit the AMP Etsy Shop to view and purchase your favorites!

little blue flowers - set of 3

http://www.etsy.com/listing/75388831/little-blue-flowers-1-8x10-professional
I created a set of 3 photos that can be purchased individually OR you can get them as a set of three to hang on your wall!!  I think they are absolutely, wonderfully blue.

I took these photos in my parents' back yard - they have a very wooded back yard which is completely carpeted with ground covers and at this moment they are exploding in color with blooms of yellow, blue, white and purple.

 I love this time of the year.  Everything in bloom and the world is so colorful and warm!

where have I been?

Aaaaah.  The sweetness of spring.  Yes, it's been cold.  Yes, we had snow for a very long time.  I had to finally get out and enjoy the few great days we've had so far and my day job was holding me back a bit.  BUT, I have new listings!!  Hopefully I'll have more to come since I have some time to breathe finally!!

Now that the flowers are in bloom I am in heaven!  How could it get any better?  Well, if it warmed up a bit... but not too much!  I'm enjoying the running temps just a little too much.  If it stopped raining, but then how would I get fantastic pictures like this one??

So, I guess where I'm going with this is that it has been perfect!  Visit my Etsy site often!  I'll have much more for you to view in the coming days, weeks and months including some fun greeting cards I have been working on!
