Barb’s Personal Notes, 5/14/09

“Cashing in on Your Creativity” — the subtitle of Barbara’s blog — certainly conveys the idea of building a successful business around the creation and manufacture of handmade items and related services. But it’s also a phrase that fits our current economy and most everyone’s need today to both make and SAVE money. Barbara’s Personal Notes this week discusses how to “cash in” in ways you may not have thought about before.

Introducing a New Category

As a new blogger, it took me awhile to realize that what was missing on my blog was something just for me–a place where I could share not only business articles and informative posts, but personal messages. A friend suggested I call this category “Barb’s Babble,” but although one definition of that word means to divulge information or secrets and “spill the beans,” that’s not exactly what I plan to do here.
