Several people have asked me “why a blog”? (instead of a typical website/online store). The short answer is that it just plain fits what I want my site to be. Most online stores are … well, impersonal. Which reminds me of one of my least favorite expressions — “It’s not personal, it’s business”. What about business isn’t personal? Speaking as someone who has spent countless hours thinking about what I want my business to be, putting in hundreds (thousands?) of hours designing and creating, and asking my family to make the sacrifice of time with me … believe me, nothing is more personal to me than that! On top of that, I want each item I create to be original and special for the person buying it. I don’t want to just crank out products and ship them off to unknown people. Every person who buys one of my creations remains in my heart and prayers long after the item is delivered. I lift up a prayer for each person that welcomes something I made into their home. So my “business” is very personal to me.
When I considered how I wanted to use my website to share with my customers, a blog just made sense. I can talk about what’s going on, as well as invite my customers to share their thoughts and ideas with me. And I can still offer my products for sale.
Feel free to post a comment anytime (maybe even to tell me whether you do – or don’t – like the site). You can also e-mail me at sheila@sweettruthcreations.com.
Much love and blessings …
