Two fortnights less one day (That means 27 days until Christmas!!!)

I need some help - I have these GREAT online stores and I just haven't been able to figure out how to get people to stop by and take a look at them. Would you do me a HUGE favor?!?! PLEASE?!?! Would you take a look at my stores and then tell 2 friends about them for me? I don't know how else to get the word out. I really do have some great gifts at good prices. Thanks, I really appreciate it!

New Blog

I have added an additional blog; one to be used for inspiration, but also to help promote my online businesses to people other than family and friends. I always hesitate to talk business with friends and family because I NEVER want anyone to be obligated to buy or feel uncomfortable.

Here is my other blog, in case you are interested. ALSO, please click on my AdSense from Google...I get paid every time someone takes a look. THANKS!http://www.katherinevanliew.blogspot.com/

And the final one -- Author & lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four-year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, 'Nothing, I just helped him cry.'
