diy (with a little help from my friends)

I have the best network! Diane, the craft genius behind Crafty Pod and DIY Alert! and the force behind Portland's chapter of Church of Craft is a total rock star. She wrote a very nice bit about me on the Crafty Pod Blog. Thanks Diane!!! She's also teaching a class on Blogging which is chalk full of great information this Saturday, April 5th.

I also just want to say a big thanks to Carrie without whom I would not have been able to pull off the Bead Expo with such ease and grace! Carrie is an all around superstar and inspires me to ROCK ON. Thanks Carrie.

Thanks too to Gege for bringing food and fun and just being so fabulously french! And a shout out to Susan for bringing the love.

Small businesses are sometimes challenging because you feel like you're doing it all yourself, but if you can ask for help and give help when asked and create a network that will support you, then you're golden!
