Thank you for stopping by and joining our blog. Now I wonder, why are you here?  Are you an entrepreneur?  Are you interested in starting your own gift basket business? Are you looking for a reputable company to provide your gift baskets?  Do you just enjoy reading blogs? There are so many reasons to visit blogs.  They are becoming more and more popular.  Well, first off, where are my manners?  WELCOME! I hope you enjoy your reading.  I started this blog to tell people about my company and my philosophies about the gift basket industry, but the funny thing is, along the way, I remembered how I love to write!  I have always loved reading and I’ve always loved writing.  Even in school, essays and reports did not bother me (I know weird huh, my nerdliness is showing :)) , but somewhere along the lines of having children and starting my own company many years ago, I slowly wrote less and less.  It’s funny how things work.  I truly believe things happen for a reason, and starting this blog, although I thought it would be so others could get to know my company, has turned, selfishly, into a way for me to pick up where I left off with one of my favorite things, the lost love of writing.  Instead of being something “I have to” do, it has become something I look forward to doing.  I’m not writing novels, or pages and pages, I don’t have that kind of time available to me at this time in my life, but I am enjoying every minute I do have!  My wish for you is that you take some time to find your lost passions and start today to once again enjoy them, even if it is only for a short time each day!

The funny thing is, I have always wanted to have a blog.  My reasons were, to keep our customers up-to-date, share new and exciting news, etc, etc.  But the one thing that I had forgotten, is that I LOVE to write.  I have written stories ever since I could hold a crayon in my hand and could understand the written word!  All those writing assignments through grade school, high school and college, although a bain to most peoples’ existence, had me in my glory!  My kids think I’m nuts (what else is new!)  I don’t know why I waited so long to start blogging!  (Well maybe it had something to do with I didn’t have a clue how to set up a blog, and, being a perfectionist, I wanted to make sure I did it RIGHT, when I did it).  Now that I’m set up, I can’t wait to add new blogs!  Honestly, instead of being a chore, it is something I look forward to, on a day to day basis!  I can honestly say, I LOVE what I do, and now, being able to share my experiences and opinions regarding this and other thoughts, well I must say, I am simply bursting with joy!  How lucky am I?!
