Okay. mabe I'm a little late with this. Apparently a lot of other people have known for some time what I just realized yesterday after viewing a blog created by Erica B--blogs can be really cool. Prior to Erica's I'm not sure I had seen a blog quite so fcused and well done, all (or at least 95%) of the entries all pertaining to one particulat subject. In fact, Erica's blog (dedicated to D.I.Y. clothing design) looked more like an actual website than a blog.
That gave me an idea. In 2006, I started focusing on my writing more and not working so much with my home-based gift basket business, formerly Meidas Touch Creative Gifts-n-Baskets. In April of 2007, I published my first book and gift design truly went on the back shelf. However, you never really lose passion for something that has always been a part of you. I still do the occasional gift basket for pre-existing customers, for events at my church, for community events, and for lucky loved ones.
I thought rather than running a conventional website (since my focus is not on selling baskets anymore), I would dedicate a blog to gift design. I will post my experiences in the biz along with photos of my creations as well as paying homage to great gift designs I encounter by others. My standards are pretty high, so if you see me highlight someone's work, they truly have a gift.
Thanks, Erica, (even if you never see this message) for turning me on to this idea...
