This has been a busy week. I have been working on getting the Beads and Quilts site out there for about half of my free time. The marketing aspect is not something I really ever did so I am realizing the work involved with it. Right now my social marketing includes going to forums, getting into discussions and injecting the link when I can plus putting the link in Facebook and Twitter whenever I can. I’m being patient though and constantly looking for opportunities.

I’m thinking about having some t-shirt made up with some beading and/or craft sayings on them. It’ll provide another avenue for marketing and give another product to the site. Vista Print had an amazing deal last weekend where their prices where half off or more for printing t-shirts and business cards. I think it came to $4.95 per printed t-shirt and $5.95 for 250 business cards. If they have the deal again this weekend I might jump on it. Have to do some more work on the shirt designs.

Matt and I went to see the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins on Wednesday night. They played the Binghamton Senators which appeared to be the better team for the first period and much of the second. In the third period the Penguins turned it up a notch and won 3-1.

Tom and the girls came over last night to play with Dominic and Ryan. While the kids were doing what they do Tom and I developed a ping pong hybrid utilizing the wall with an elaborate set of rules. Essentially, you could use the wall for a serve or a shot but the recipient could not use the wall on the next shot. If you won off of a wall shot you got two points, if you failed on a wall shot your opponent got two points. I think there were more rules for it but I can not remember them at the moment.
