Very Busy

I have been very busy adding more items to Poppy's Scroll Saw Woodwork. There are many more to come so check out the store for the newest items.

What kind of things have we added ? Clocks, Welcome Signs, Key Holders, Nature and Fish Plaques, Native American Plaques, and Indian Shield Mirrors.


Things here have been going well. My daughter turned 10 on Sunday.

A couple of us got a stomach virus on Monday.

And the kids are counting down the days until the week off from school in February.

Lots going on.

Anyway, off to write a new hub. Am working on a great idea for Givers and Takers hub. We will see how it comes out.

If you get a chance check out Poppy's Store for the new additions which are also discussed in Poppy's Blog.

Monday, bbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Yesterday, the kids were out of school and we had game day. The kids and I played Cat-opoly again, Tyler won, and we played Life, Kait won. We had a lot of fun and the kids are already talking about what game we will play Friday night.

So yesterday afternoon, I didn't get on the computer that much. However last night I worked on another site for promoting the store. It took me about 2 hours to get it to look the way I thought it was supposed to. When and if it gets approved I will add a link here so you can see it.

This morning I had two grumpy kids who didn't want to go to school. Currently at 8:19am it is 24 with a windchill in the teens. Very cold at the bus stop.

This morning I still have to update some sites and work on some other stuff for the store. My google analytics shows hits for the store from seven countries. Pretty cool. We are getting the name out there.

Raining Today

Thank goodness it is not quite as cold outside though it has been raining today. That's okay though, it gives my kids a chance to work on their rooms.

Last night and the night before, we have had a lot of fun playing Cat-opoly together. Cat-opoly is another version of the game Monopoly. Instead of buying houses for property, you purchase liter boxes and instead of hotels, you use cat bones. All of the properites you purchase are different kind of cats and instead of going to jail , you go to water. We have a lot of fun together and I love the fact that we can all spend time together. Usually one is watching tv or the other is on the playstation.

I have been working hard on trying different ways to promote Poppy's Scroll Saw Woodwork. It is in several directories and is now on facebook. Yesterday, I spent the day trying to make a myspace page for it. Here's the link to it if you want to see it so far. Poppy's Myspace page. I am not sure how much exposure we will get there. I looked around at different groups to join and all and I will have to explore those again but I wasn't real impressed with what I saw. MaybeI just haven't figured out where to go yet.
I am thinking the business cards will be in this week, hopefully.

Check out Poppy's blog, we have a beautiful handmade scroll saw jewelry box featured there.

Well. I am off to finish laundry and explore some more ways to promote the store.

If you have any suggestions for promoting the store, please add those to the comment section. I really appreciate it.

Everything is coming together

I am very excited about how things are coming together for the store. We are making it onto the search engines and we are getting the name out there. I am very excited that in two weeks we will be getting our business cards.

Our promoting seems to be going well as some sites that we have promoted on are also turning up in a basic search for the store.

Things are exciting and I am hoping that we can get this store really going and get Poppy so busy .

Poppy's blog hasn't come up in the searches yet but am hoping that will get there soon as I just worked on getting listed with some of the search engines.

Wish us luck!
