We’re buying a new couch

Well today my husband and I went couch shopping.  It has been quite a few years since we purchased a new couch and there was a major reason why we never purchased one for a very long time.  We had a cat and with his claws, he pretty much ruined everything he touched.  Well now that he is not here anymore we decided that we should probably make this investment.

So today we went to several different stores looking for the perfect couch.  We only found one problem and that was that we couldn’t agree on the one to buy.  He liked one couch, which is a sectional, and I liked another that was a couch and chair.  So we didn’t end up buying anything and decided to wait on it for a few days to see if we can come up with something that will please us both.  But hopefully by the end of the week we will be able to agree on something and I’ll be able to report that we actually bought a new couch.

Social Networking

I have been blogging now for about a year.  It amazes me how much I have learned in the past year, and it also amazes me on how much more I need to learn.  I have learned that there are several ways to attract readers and just lately I have decided that I am going to give some social networking a try.

So, I have been scouring the Internet to find some social networking sites that are popular and seem to work.  I have found a few that I have joined, but apart from joining them, I haven’t really done much with them as I am unclear on how to proceed.

This is where I am looking for any and all input from you more experienced bloggers.  I understand that that social networking is key to attracting readers, but I honestly don’t understand what I need to do to maximize the exposure that I could be receiving from these sites.

So, if you have any advice for me on this particular issue, I would sure love to hear from any and all of you!

Getting Back to Normal

Well now that it’s January 2 and the holidays are firmly behind us, it’s time for me to get back to my normal routines. So that means that I need to get back to my blogging that I have come to enjoy and to get cracking on making sure that this year I get my home crafting business over at Simply Crafting up and running and profitable. For the past couple of weeks, I haven’t really done too much crafting but now that I have my living room back, I’m going to get back at it.

Although I do enjoy the holidays, I am happy to see when they are all over. This way the kids go back to school (next week), my husband is back at work, and I am slowly getting back into my own routines. So don’t be surprised when you see my face around your blogs a little more than I have been over the past few weeks.
