I have been trying to figure out some way to communicate with my customers, moms and crafty persons on some sort of regular basis. I have been doing Facebook, but feel this is starting to lose it appeal with all the people that have "liked" my page. Also, Facebook has changed their policies on allowing giveaways on the business pages. With my small business (Plain & Fancy Bowtique), I rely on giveaways as a way to promote my business.
I also considered sending out a semi-regular e-mail blast. This certainly has its advantages.
However, after thinking about it for a few weeks and after consulting with a few of my friends and customers, I decided to set up a blog (short for “Web Log”). That’s what you are reading now. Please be patient with me during the beginning as I will make changes till I find what feels right.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
After many years of lurking in the crafty blog world I've decided to start my own. The allure of the crafting community is strong. I want to thank all you crafty bloggers for giving me entertainment, inspiration, and an overall energy boost, each very necessary to me after my 2011 crafting and life roller coaster.
2011 was a very crafty and emotional year for me. My youngest child (before the new addition came last Dec. ) was old enough to allow me to expand my crafting endeavors. I made new crafty friends (mostly through Facebook), Christian moms, and Babywearing families. I felt like I had found people that understand me, not just as crafter, but as a mom and business woman. THANK YOU!!!

So, what do I want out of this blog? Well I way to share what I make/made as a mom, crafter and business. I will have giveaways from my business Plain & Fancy Bowtique. Hopefully I will post new products and discounts. Being a mom of 5, I will be posting many trials and errors of my life, because along with making stuff, I am sure I will be making mistakes. I want to share about and from other great crafters and small businesses.
(Yes the is a repeat of me starting my 2010 Blog I Made This.....And That. I feel like have have failed in that title and now just want a way to share about me and my business. So please join me for my second attempt at blogging)
