Mr. Corgi got a parcel today. He’s so delighted. “But who is this?” asked Mrs. Corgi.

Mr. Corgi has no idea. Maybe it’s a fan? Or maybe Mr. Seagull, the postman, got the wrong address?

Hi, there!

My name is Aurelia Nobleia. And…

I’m the world’s most flexible artist and illustrator!

But the reason why people call me that is because…

But nothing wrong with escaping reality sometimes, right? Especially when you need to de-stress…

That’s why I created my new comfy fall coloring book. Get it on Amazon and escape with me:

I just woke up from hibernation, so…

… if I’m a little late with my Thanksgiving wishes, do forgive me. Ha ha.

(I have a good excuse for that though.)

But I hope you had a very Happy Thanksgiving! And perhaps even a very Happy Black Friday… if you went on an online spending spree like me…

Anyways:

I was so pooped after spending night after sleepless night launching my first ever picture book (that took me almost a year to draw)… that… after it’s all over, I’ve been spending most of my time hibernating in bed. And luckily we don’t have Thanksgiving over here. So I can do that…

But the results of my little book launch?

You probably already saw it in the picture above. My book’s hit #1 on Amazon’s New Release!

Yay! 😀

Thank you SO much for all your support, downloads, and taking the time to leave heartfelt reviews too!

We hit close to 100 downloads in just the first few days alone.

Phew…

I was a little scared that I wouldn’t get any response at all… after spending so much time on this book…

But looking at how passionate people are about the book:

Some people love it (5 stars).

Some people hate it (1 star).

It’s like the perfect storm. And I’m really happy. Heh heh… 🙂

You know, most people spend Thanksgiving thinking about stuff they’re grateful for.

But not me.

I’ve been thinking about stuff I’m UNgrateful for. And then trying to think of reasons to be grateful for it.

Stuff like getting my decade-old Etsy store shut down.

For the silliest reason.

I was really ungrateful about it. But now, looking back…

Turns out it was a blessing in disguise!

Because:

I’ve been procrastinating on creating books for several years now. And this finally gave me the final push to get started.

The result?

I’ve been having the time of my life!

Writing, launching, and promoting my new book.

I never knew creating and marketing your own books could be so much fun. 🙂

I gotta go now.

Back to having more fun.

This post I’m SO unthankful for this… was first published on turnip.

“Your store has been put on pause via Vacation Mode. You can’t unpause your shop or receive new orders right now.”

What happened?

Something unbelievable…

I moved to another country recently. And apparently, that country isn’t on Etsy’s “Approved Country’s List”. So I’m not allowed to sell on Etsy anymore.

And my store that’s been running since 2014 is now locked down, and the key’s thrown into the sea.

This isn’t a new problem, by the way.

Based on my research, Etsy sellers have been complaining about this in the forums for over 10 years now. And every year, Etsy promises they’ll fix the problem. But…

10 years later?

Crickets.

Am I sad my 10 year old store has been taken away?

Obviously, but…

I’m also a little relieved.

Why?

Because… I’ve been getting a little tired of all the messages I’ve been receiving almost every week. From my lovely customers. Who were thoughtful enough to take the time to tell me that yet another art thief on Etsy traced my work, and put it up for resale on their store for a buck or two. And yet tireder still because Etsy refuses to take them down, regardless of my request. Unless I spend the money to hire a lawyer to deal with it.

Ah, well…

Life goes on. And…

I guess I can take a little break now…

And pursue my other passion:

Writing and illustrating Children’s Books! 🙂

I just wanted to say thank you for all the support for my clipart store over the last decade. It means a lot to me. And I appreciate every email and letter I’ve received from all my fans like you.

Thank you!

This isn’t the end. If you still want to follow along as I proceed to the next phase of my life:

“Evolving into a world-renowned author and illustrator…”

… then feel free to download and check out my first published picture book.

It’s up on Amazon now.

Personally hand-drawn and illustrated by me, of course. No A.I. work here, or anywhere. 🙂

The best part?

It’s free (on Kindle) for the next 5 days only.

If you have kids, or homesteader, farmer, or chicken-loving friends, then this quick-read, funny picture book may amuse them endlessly:

Aurelia “Sadly Hopping On” Nobleia

P.S. If my new book made you laugh, do consider leaving me a review on Amazon. It’ll help me get more eyeballs on it. So I can make even more people laugh… 🙂

Or at least… smile!

Thanks!

And get it before the free launch promo expires…

The paperback drops in a day or two… 😉
