Back In the Saddle Again, but For Long???


It has been over a year since I posted on my blog. I just can't believe how time flies now days.

It must be my age! The older I get the faster that old clock moves. Remember when you were a kid and summer vacation lasted forever? Or remember how long your 17th year took? I bet you thought your 18th birthday would never arrive. I think it happens somewhere around 35 that the hands on the clock start moving faster and the days never seem long enough.



A lot has happened for the family and business over the past year. Our oldest son graduated from high school with honors and will be attending Eastern Kentucky University in the fall. I can't begin to say how very proud we are of him. He of course will still be helping out with the business when needed.

We began hosting websites as well as doing graphics late last year. Our new hosting site is http://www.soezwebdesign.com/ If you need affordable do it yourself type hosting, please check us out.



We moved Off The Beaten Path Designs to our own hosting and gave it an updated look. We still have all the types of things we had before. My health has been very poor and I haven't been able to sew much and with Tim running the business he hasn't had much time either so our Doll inventory is down. We hope to improve on that in the next coming months.

We do have some new web graphics and will be adding more auction templates as well. When you have a minute hop over to http://www.offthebeatenpathdesigns.com/ and peek at the new design and products.



We moved Olde Primitive Sisters Online Marketplace to our hosting as well and changed the format and look completely. We still have great vendors who offer their wonderful products and we have added some new vendors. All of them are so talented in what ever craft or art that they and I am always amazed at their offerings. Please drop by there and see what the gals have listed, I know you will just love it. If you are an artist or crafter looking for a reasonable place to sell your wares without having a full blown website, please stop in and check out what we can do for you. http://www.oldprimitivesisters.com/



I don't know how my health situation will go back hopefully I can chat a bit more frequently and keep this blog updated more.



To close I wanted to give you a preview of some things we have listed on Off The Beaten Path Designs. Just click the pic to be taken directly to the item.

Hard Times, Rough Times and New Times










WOW! I can't believe that it has been a month since I last popped in to say hey!


My only excuse is on going health issues and my kiddos are out of school. Blue my little "Rainman" has had a really rough time to the disruption to his schedule.


I have had very little time to work on new items-either dolls or graphics and plan on setting my nose to the grind stone in the upcoming weeks.


I have added several auction template to my template pages on the website.


You can see all of them Here!


This is one of the logos and I really like it




If you have a store on ETSY and need a banner I have also listed a few new banners. You can see them Here!

Be sure to check back every once in a while to see all the new goodies
I will be working on. It is getting that time of year that I start working on Halloween items.

Although I love Christmas, the spooky items are my favorite to work on. Maybe I have a little witch in me.

Until next time,

B
