I am getting better at remembering to use this network, I am on Facebook, Twitter, and am managing my own website, I do have personal and professional emails. Sew it is not like I am in the dark, just streamlining like you said. I want to create a monthly newsletter. Most of my advertizing is word of mouth, but it seams like some of my online work is starting to pay off. I will be the feature story in WNC woman Mag next month which should help to fill my classes. Thank you for your support!

This site is really awesome, even though I dont live int he area, we travel down there a couple times a year to visit family and its always neat to find different things to do. I love all that artsy stuff, mainly architecture, old buildings, galleries, and crafts. But Im up for anything else. I cant wait for the girls to get older, I have always had a passion for old furniture and restoration and would love to be able to get back into that, but I just dont have the time to go to the flea markets now.

Bizworks in which you were a speaker, and I originally heard about We Art The People there. Then I lost track of you until now! Thank you for the warm welcome!

At 6:14pm on July 28, 2009, Brian Festa said…: Thanks Karen! Keep up the good vibrations! I'll check out the forum and looking forward to all that there is to come!
