Hello and good February to all! I am considering this month a success, even though I am only crossing one thing off my two item list. I am going to work faster and harder today then ever to finish my site redesign. I’m close (so close) to being done. And I think Groundhog Day is… Continue Reading

Goodbye Lovely Weekend, Hello Monday
I spent the weekend in Boston with two of my best friends, attending the annual Wine Expo. It’s always great to see them. We really don’t get to spend time with each other, living in different towns and states. We are moms and wives first. All other things come in second. It’s back to “reality”… Continue Reading
Mid-Month Goal Check-in
I’ve been feeling like I just need to get through my two goals this month, so I can move on to the “real” work. Not a good way to think about what I’m doing. These goals ARE the real work and the crux of where I want to go. So, I think a little head-banging… Continue Reading
Bakery’s Half Dozen e-course
If you read my posts, you know I’m a big fan of BAKERY. I featured them in my Blog Love Week last year. I was lucky enough to be part of the first BAKERY’s Half Dozen e-course this past fall. I can’t tell you how much it has helped me with my business, but I… Continue Reading

Monthly Goals for December
November was a crazy month for me. In keeping up with holiday orders, the Bakery class, hosting Thanksgiving and blogging for Prematurity Awareness Month, the days disappeared in a blur. The 6-week crash course in business from Bakery has been great. It’s made me think about my business in new ways and I’ve formulated a… Continue Reading
IndieBizChat on Twitter
Oh Twitter, I am your fickle friend. I both love and not love some of things you offer. I love that you give me access to people as I work from home and stare at my screen for a good part of the day. I’ve met some great people and it’s all because of you.… Continue Reading
Monthly Goals for November
Hello November, how are you? Me? I’m just fine… Not really, but that’s what you’re supposed to say to be polite, yes? I’m not having a bad month, just a turning point month and this November will be another. Clearly not the best timing, when I rely on holiday card sales to help a rather… Continue Reading
Going Wholesale with Stationery
This has been on my mind for awhile. I have some concerns, which I’ll spell out in a moment. I originally set up my on-line store to design and sell custom photo cards that you can’t get at your local retailer. Many people have asked me, “What makes you different from Tiny Prints, Shutterfly or… Continue Reading
GNO and Mom Made That!
I enjoy talking about my small business, but there is only so much my friends and family want to hear after awhile. Some of the aspects of an on-line business are fascinating to me and if I talk too long about it, I can see my loved ones’ eyes glaze over and they begin nodding,… Continue Reading
