The Front end of the Holidays

Here it is just a couple two three days or so before the Thanksgiving holiday.

What can i say? It's all come faster than i thought possible. But isn't it that way every year? I have to say, first, that i am ... reservedly hopeful with the results of the MidTerm Elections earlier this month.

I created this graphic a few months ago with hope in my heart. I've not sold any product with this graphic on it, but there's no reason to think that it won't sell now. Especially with the success that the Dems have had in both the House and the Senate. Oh well. If i sell some, it's just icing on the cake. I 'm much more interested in seeing our nation make some course corrections, for the people's sake. Let's hope that the power shift in the legislature is a positive thing and not just a big disappointment.


It's been warm here in SE Pa for the first part of November. Warmer than i would like to see. Snow by the first week of December would be just fine with me, if anyone is asking. The way things are going, i may have to run a few hundred miles up I-81 to get my way.


I'm starting to introduce some personalized products in my shop, Bakktalk Online Gifts, in the section "The Name Game". It's just getting started and was inspired by that old popular song, "The Name Game" by Shirley Ellis, released in 1965.

I know that a lot of you are not old enough to remember it. But, i said, what the heck. I'll give it a shot and see how much interest (and sales) i generate. If you have a few minutes, go to www.cafepress.com/bakktalk, click on the section and check it out. I'd love some feedback on that project Actually, if you have a name that you'd like me to add as a selection, use the comment window here to tell me or just send me an e-mail, bladimz@dejazzd.com. I'd be happy to create for you.


One more thing. I don't when i'll have the chance to post next. I should do it more than i do, but since i'm here and thinking of it now: please take some time this holiday season to enjoy what it has to offer. And take a little time to think of one another. Show some care and consideration for those who might be having a difficult or painful time. Holidays can either be exceedingly fun or incredibly painful, depending on one's situation.

One thing is for sure. Time will progress and before you know it, the holidays will pass and, in one way or another, we will all emerge on the other side in 2007. Good luck, peace and happiness to all this season.

See ya on the other side!
