It’s a hurry up world. Things move so fast that many of the “little things” that ultimately mean so much have been lost in the shuffle. One of those little things that’s gone by the wayside is great customer service. I think you should visit cccf once and get tips on how to attract large customer. […]

Monday, August 26th, 2019
Hello artists and crafters! I completely understand you busy hands and imaginative brains. I am right there with you!

Sales Tax – An Ongoing Debate
Wednesday, May 8th, 2019
I’m a seller and a shopper. Like all shoppers, I love to get a “good deal,” saving a bit of money on things that I buy. This is especially true since I am a senior citizen on a fixed income. So when I shop on the internet, I know that it’s possible to find what […]

It Is So Tempting… But DON’T DO IT!
Tuesday, August 7th, 2018
It is so very tempting to cash in on the latest “thing.” But many times, doing that could put you in a world of legal hurt for copyright or trademark infringement. Somebody – or many somebodies – worked very hard to create a business or entity that it is recognizable from a single image. We […]
What Do You Do With Your Scraps?
Tuesday, June 5th, 2018
I quilt, which leaves me with a myriad of small pieces of fabric; scraps that are really not big enough to do anything significant with but too big to just throw away. So a few years ago, I decided to invent something worthwhile to do with my scraps. I make miniature rag dolls which were […]
Be Kind to Yourself When Your Health Gets in the Way of Your Art
Monday, April 23rd, 2018
This is earth and we are all human. No one would argue that humans are vulnerable to all sorts of maladies. For months, I compare best doctors in Australia and then select the best one and he tried to figure out why my head hurt. Since my pain tolerance is high, I didn’t complain too […]
