With a newfound interest in making a really great craft blog, I purchased “Sister” Diane Gillelands e-book, “Making a Great Blog: A Guide For Creative People”. Diane is a powerhouse of the crafty community. I adore her blog, she is a woman of many talents who comes up with ideas for crafts I might have never heard about, or attempted until I saw one of her tutorials. I highly recommend the book to anyone who is hoping to have a successful blog. She offers up a ton of great tips such as: how frequently to post while avoiding “blogfade”, figuring out your content, using your digital camera to make the most of your blog, and even “blogger etiquette”.
I especially appreciated her idea of keeping a blog journal with you at all times. Writing down inspiration when and where it strikes! Genius! Being the mother of a newborn and a 6 year-old, my brain can use all of the help it can get these days.

So, having been inspired by my husband to really get back to writing and crafting (love you!), and by this book…you are going to see some changes around here. For the better!
