They should be here in plenty of time for my newest project-- a wedding guest book featuring pictures of the bride and groom throughout. I already have some great ideas.

I will have an official project for my portfolio by the end of next month, and as soon as I work out a few bugs in the website, I'll be ready to announce it and start advertising.<br /><br />The initial plan is to advertise cheaply and locally to get some feedback and measure interest. In the meantime, I'll be readying the consumer products and (hopefully) making a little cash to finance an e-shop.<br /><br />I'm hoping that this blog will be a nice way to document the launching of a new business, and that it might provide some support and enthusiasm for people who also want to be their own bosses. Keep coming back to see what's new in the world of Attic Ink, and feel free to drop me a line anytime.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6681301704495464445-2666569387132822078?l=atticink.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Melaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03718153026746370768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681301704495464445.post-8332715071535676272007-03-13T11:09:00.000-07:002007-03-13T11:15:42.458-07:00Everyone has a story, and these stories deserve to be heard. Attic Ink is devoted to preserving stories in a fun and meaningful way. On the Attic Ink blog, we want to hear your stories, tell a few of our own, and share the ways in which we remember and learn from our pasts.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6681301704495464445-833271507153567627?l=atticink.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Melaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03718153026746370768noreply@blogger.com
