tooling around: customers can be such tools

By plainjane on January 20, 2012

tooling around: heads up!

By plainjane on December 23, 2011

You guys, I don’t even know where to start. I’ve been delaying the writing of my post for hours because I just cannot put into words the delight of speaking with Amanda Carroll of Artisan Maskers.

If you need advice on blogging, however, I’ll send you straight to the master – Scoutie Girl Tara Gentile. I didn’t think she could come up with any more advice on how to blog effectively, but she did! -- Candy, Candied Fabrics
