I'm taking several pairs of capris, one of which a jean-type, and I think that's fine. <BR/><BR/>As for the marketing thing, well, after buying the dress I went to Staples and hummed and hawed about, "Should I order business cards?" I know many people are doing it, but I'm wondering how often I would use them. I'm still debating. Might get some printed tomorrow. <BR/><BR/>The marketing thing is the hardest, especially for us unpublished writers. There are so many of us and we want to stand out, but how do you brand yourself when you're still finding your writer's feet, so to speak??<BR/><BR/>As for the ribbon, I'm wearing a nametag that says Bosey (my e-Harl name). So you'll know me : )Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05757619254031529216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-1153584178243108532006-07-22T10:02:00.000-06:002006-07-22T10:02:00.000-06:00I love the new look in hereI love the new look in hereYoung Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03117844320148741884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-1153524318404211552006-07-21T17:25:00.000-06:002006-07-21T17:25:00.000-06:00Nice design Melissa :) Lovely photos!!

Everyone has different styles at National - I've gone from comfy casual like you to more dressed up - it all depends on my mood. And my wardrobe *g*.<BR/><BR/>So cute your daughter made you a POTC notepad!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and my first FR book is already done :-)Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15636189059910920978noreply@blogger.com
