That's where the most valuable blogs come from, I think... To quote a very important Children's author: "There is no one in the World, that is YOUer than YOU." Guess who? Something Tells me you will know. Just found your Blog via Stephanie Corbee's Beautiful Art on her site and On Etsy. She inspired a little poem, as I sat there really enjoying the Whimsy of her work, and how she lets her heart lead her work Which equals, I think, Beauty. I think I can learn an awful lot from your blog here. Everything I've learned about Blogging has been trial and error--hunt and Peck, But that takes a very long time. Maybe you can help me jump ahead a little. P.S. I'm from the Philly area, too. I so agree, Stay true to what’s inside of you.

I would like to start a blog myself mainly as a marketing activity. I am still trying to figure out how to make it different. What you said on your 5th point - "No one else tells the story just like you" seems to be a good starting point for me... so - THANKS!!!

If you ever come back to Vienna, get in touch! I'd be happy to show you around. Vienna is really beautiful, I love living here (mostly, anyways...)
