NEW WEBSITE!

Posted by Administrator February - 28 - 2010 - Sunday ADD COMMENTS

After many years of sitting on my little ol’ Annieland.net website holding space, paying $12 per month to yahoo small business to hold my spot but not having anything there except a few embarrassingly outdated photos, I decided that something needed to be done. I’d had enough with the twiddling of thumbs, almost as much as I’ve had enough of Kenny Loggins. NOW is the time to get my @#$ together and get myself a real website like a grown up (or a grown business). As a matter of fact, there is no better time than now. Right now. This exact moment to do whatever it is that you know you need to do for yourself, but haven’t yet. I know, it’s obvious, but living in the moment might just be the answer to all of life’s big questions… I digress….the funny thing is that I’m generally pretty forward thinking in my business and my way of life. However, the idea of designing a website on my own, or paying someone to do it for me, was daunting. I was also placated with the ease of sales that my ETSY site afforded me. But I have never really been satisfied with knowing that I didn’t have my own entity out there in the ethers of the cyber world. I put a post up on our old friend facebook, and found out that my friend Danielle, a hoop performer in CO, was interested in trading me costumes for a new website! As you can imagine, the stoke level was high here in the Annieland studio. I have spent the last week brainstorming on how I wanted my website to look as an expression of who I am, and what I want to represent as a company. This is the finished product, and I am so excited to finally have it. Thank you Danielle!!
