Technical Updates

Hello everyone, I am sorry I have been gone a little longer then expected.  I know I promised the long awaited sweat suit makeover tutorial, I am sad to say it will have to wait until next week when we have finished a few more behind the scenes updates.  It has been a time of learning and growing for me, my blog and my business, we are going through a huge amount of technical updates to bring us up to speed in social media.

I am very excited and happy to say I am learning to use Facebook; you can click on the F button below each post and like us on Facebook.  I am also now on Pinterest with 12 pin boards including a new Buttons Bows & Bling board featuring photos from my blog projects which you can pin and repin at will.  You can follow my boards just by clinking on the “Follow me on Pinterest” hot button, in red, located on the side bar of my blog page. If you are not familiar with Pinterest click on the follow me button and you will get a treat, it is eye candy for your creative spirit.  Pinterest is my new addiction, I learn something new everyday, unfortunately it is keeping me away from blogging, I still have more groundwork to do with my pin boards before I will be back to posting early next week, Monday I hope.

Also under construction is our new website and our new on-line store, where you can purchase my products, patterns and fabrics, in addition we will be linked to our Buttons, Bows & Bling Blog, Facebook and Pinterest.  As you can imagine this takes a lot of studying, planning, trial and error and most of all time, sleep is at a minimum right now.  Don’t let anyone tell you owning your own business is not work because it is and can take up to 16 hours a day or longer to do it right. Speaking of sleep, I think I need a nice long nap! Giggles!

Thanks for letting me share our exciting news with you; so much is happening right now it makes my head spin.  Please continue to hang in there with me I promise it will be worth the wait, lots more projects to come.

See you soon.

Under Construction

Hello everyone, I wanted to give you a quick update and let you know my blog is under some technical construction while we do some updates and make some small changes, most of which you will not even notice.  A couple of new items will appear, hot buttons for Facebook, Twitter and a few other social networking sites will now be available so you can" Like Us" on those sites, those should appear at the bottom of each new posting. We would all be thrilled if you did that whenever you like a photo, pattern, project or post, don't be shy.  We also have a " comment " button you can click on and make a comment on the post you just saw, if you take the time to comment I will do my best to read it and respond back to you as soon as I can, we love to hear from you. (please note: these hot buttons, appear very small so you will really have to look for them, the size is not in our control).  We at Buttons, Bows & Bling strive to do our very best for our readers so we have joined the social networking scene to have the latest up to date information and ideas, we hope you will join with us in moving us forward in that arena.

Construction should be finished this weekend, I will return with a new posting which I hope will be waiting for you Monday morning, fingers crossed.  Thanks for hanging in there with us this past year as we made our way through a new frontier, we have been having a great time and we can't wait to share more creative projects with you as summer winds down and fall begins.
See you soon.
