Can’t afford that big gift? Why don’t you do what we do? Try edivvy! If you have never heard of edivvy, let me give you a quick scenario…

I have, once again, been accused of not having “Family Values” because of my declaration of being not only a registered Democrat, but (heaven help us!) a Liberal Democrat at that. This is becoming so very tiresome and also concerns me that people paint each other with such wide brushes. Further, it got me to thinking about what, exactly, are “Family Values” and why do I not have any? The general opinion is that Republicans have ‘it’ and Democrats…eh, not so much.
“Family Values” is a feel good phrase, bandied about primarily during elections. Visions of Momma in an apron Read more…

I am having a big craft show come up, and I have selected to have some poster printing done for advertising. I will select the image and the wording and have it done on poster size paper to hang in my booth and on the wall at the show.
There is no better form of advertising than something that people can read from a distance, it will make them be drawn to your booth to see what you have. If you have a small sign that is only visible when they are at your booth, you have lost potential customers. A large sum of people walk right by and don’t even look your way. But if there is a colorful poster that they can see from down the aisle, they may head straight for your booth and browse. Read more…

This past weekend, we stopped in a small restaurant on the way home from a college visit. There were only three tables of customers, including us, and one waitress, a young girl around 20 years old. As we waited for our food, I noticed how well the young girl made small talk with her customers. She was a master of conversation, making everyone feel like she was interested in everything they had to say. While this may not seem like a big deal, it is truly an art.
