My very own thoughts and ideas are so much cooler running through my head, instead of written...I promise. I am that of a rambler, so I apologize, in advance, for the random babbling that is sure to occur in the future.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Piper Blue has been doing fairly well, since it's debut, earlier this year. It's quite time consuming, but I certainly didn't think otherwise. I really have been enjoying myself, so I consider it to be good stress. My father would be so proud, as he always tried to nonchalantly steer me towards a business degree. Piper Blue is a small venture, but I still wish he were here to watch.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The website is coming, I promise! It has turned from a monkey to a walrus, flailing away, on my back, day after day. If only I had acquired some sort of degree in web and graphic design. If any one has any advice on the subject, please throw it my way. I'm floating along in a pool of Intuit Website 30-day Trial period, and my remaining experimental time is quickly drying up.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Meanwhile, wholesaling is in the mix, the intro to some new jewelry, other than gobs of earrings, and some fun outdoor decor, just in time for spring!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I know that everybody keeps asking about the Capri Blue candles, and they are coming. I'm limited in stock at the moment, but please let me know if you would like a certain item in the collection. If it is not in stock, then I will include it in the next order. The rest of the retail products will be introduced after the website is complete.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I must thank everyone for all of the support, and I truly appreciate you all for taking the time to check out Piper Blue!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'll leave you all with some fun photos. Piper really started this whole thing, but my boys, Cash and Colby, are also a great source of my inspiration!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_x5yIUrmzkf4/S5RRIukCRvI/AAAAAAAAACY/w1LqLQ9vFKk/s1600-h/DSC_0159.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 256px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_x5yIUrmzkf4/S5RRIukCRvI/AAAAAAAAACY/w1LqLQ9vFKk/s320/DSC_0159.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446067059777750770" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Colby, 10 year old chocolate lab&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_x5yIUrmzkf4/S5RRIXkQwWI/AAAAAAAAACQ/6H2WlZYvnSo/s1600-h/DSC_0070.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_x5yIUrmzkf4/S5RRIXkQwWI/AAAAAAAAACQ/6H2WlZYvnSo/s320/DSC_0070.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446067053604684130" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Piper, 1 year old whippet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x5yIUrmzkf4/S5RRH6m09EI/AAAAAAAAACI/5t-IKCEuP7Q/s1600-h/CSC_0152.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_x5yIUrmzkf4/S5RRH6m09EI/AAAAAAAAACI/5t-IKCEuP7Q/s320/CSC_0152.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446067045830816834" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Cash, 5 year old yellow lab&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/98857729608313920-7499807965814979560?l=piperblue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://piperblue.blogspot.com/feeds/7499807965814979560/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://piperblue.blogspot.com/2010/03/and-so-blogging-begins.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/98857729608313920/posts/default/7499807965814979560'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/98857729608313920/posts/default/7499807965814979560'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://piperblue.blogspot.com/2010/03/and-so-blogging-begins.html' title='And so the blogging begins......'/><author><name>PiperBlue</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05865605813496301881</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_x5yIUrmzkf4/SwdREn7P1rI/AAAAAAAAAAM/l6armzqqeF8/S220/DSC_0619.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_x5yIUrmzkf4/S5RRIukCRvI/AAAAAAAAACY/w1LqLQ9vFKk/s72-c/DSC_0159.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry></feed>
