Hello and good February to all! I am considering this month a success, even though I am only crossing one thing off my two item list. I am going to work faster and harder today then ever to finish my site redesign. I’m close (so close) to being done. And I think Groundhog Day is…

Mid-Month Goal Check-in
I’ve been feeling like I just need to get through my two goals this month, so I can move on to the “real” work. Not a good way to think about what I’m doing. These goals ARE the real work and the crux of where I want to go. So, I think a little head-banging…
The Meetup – January 2010
Hello! I’m so glad this group of goal setters is continuing. Thank you Liz of Athena Dreams! If you’re interested in joining, just go to Liz’s blog. And I’m excited for the FB group to check in with y’all a little more often. I’m not going to recap the year — I’m just going to…
Monthly Goals for December
November was a crazy month for me. In keeping up with holiday orders, the Bakery class, hosting Thanksgiving and blogging for Prematurity Awareness Month, the days disappeared in a blur. The 6-week crash course in business from Bakery has been great. It’s made me think about my business in new ways and I’ve formulated a…
Monthly Goals for November
Hello November, how are you? Me? I’m just fine… Not really, but that’s what you’re supposed to say to be polite, yes? I’m not having a bad month, just a turning point month and this November will be another. Clearly not the best timing, when I rely on holiday card sales to help a rather…
Monthly Goals for October
Today is the first chilly day I’ve felt in awhile, so it feels right that October is rolling around tomorrow. September was a bit of a roller coaster ride for me health-wise, but it seems to have leveled out now. Don’t feel too bad for me though. Even if I had some very bad days,…
Monthly Goals for September
I love September – warm days and chilly nights, autumn colors and the beginning of school. August has been an interesting month for me. Some very good days and some very bad ones, but I think I’ve learned a great deal about how and where I want to take this little business of mine. I’m…
Monthly Goals for August
I know everyone will say this, but I can’t believe I’m writing my August goals already! Summer really does get shorter and shorter as the years go by… I’m pretty excited by how much I was able to accomplish this past July. Not perfect, but very respectable in the checking-off department. Here is July’s list:…
RiverDog Prints is on Etsy
Most everyone knows what a great place Etsy is to buy and sell handmade goods. I’ve been a fan, but Etsy’s set-up did not make sense for the way I wanted to build my photo card site. I wanted image uploads automated and on-screen in a one-stop shopping kind-of-way. Secretly, I’m a bit of geek…
Handwritten Notes
I received the loveliest email from a customer yesterday. She wanted to express her appreciation for the personal touch on my packaging (yea June Goals!) and to thank me for the handwritten note I had placed with her order. I’ve been including handwritten notes with every order for awhile now. It just feels right, especially…
