THIS IS A SHORT POST TODAY!
NEW POST IS COMING AFTER THIS ONE!
The way that this world today is mind-boggling. Never would anyone imagine that a little
thing like a virus would stop the world as we know it.
Two weeks ago, I was contemplating this stuff I had to
do for my business, my home (spring cleaning), and time.
I am not here to talk about the world and what COVID-19 is
doing to it. Unless you decided along
time ago (as in 5-20 years) to isolate yourself from the world, to which
congratulations are in order and live in a cave somewhere off the coast of The Caribbean on an island, I am here to talk about a different shape of things to
come.

I am talking about this blog. I have hinted this on the My Ambiance Life
blog, and it is finally getting ready to roost. First off, the current blog of At
Home with Tricia's Baskets will change names once again (hopefully this will be
a permanent name-next time will be in the art of deleting it). The reason has to do with how this blog was
set up, and how it functions as of now.
First off, I did a major scramble when Longaberger first closed
its doors for what I thought was a permanent thing. Anyone who has been following this blog for
quite a while knows that I used to be a home consultant for the company, and the
first thing I did after naming this blog was to get rid of anything remoting
related to any sales on this blog. I
only left a couple that highly mentions Longaberger and any of its past
products. I was not ashamed of selling for the company, I did not want to keep
explaining to potential clients that the company was no longer in business, and
I could not take their order if that was the end goal for that person.
I would like to invite you to look at the New Longaberger website, and the company will
be run by Rachel Longaberger Stukey, another daughter of Dave. When Tami was running the company, Rachel was
behind the scenes running the Longaberger Foundation and attending the
convention for consultants. The company has a new owner, and currently,
there are no consultants, only the website and QVC,
that are selling the products. As I
stated in the past post, when the company starts requesting for consultant
again, I will not be part of the salesforce.
I had my run, and I am working on my own company, P. Lynne Designs.
Second, The name will not reflect my name at all. I know, shocking. It will not contain the word, “baskets” in it
either. The name of the new blog is
called, “Home Prep”. It will be on the
WordPress platform and it will talk about the home and family.
Finally, the travel portion of the blog will have a new blog. It is tentatively named D’Princesses Travel
Blog. You know what that means, Disney
Travel first, the rest of the world and cruises later. It will all be there.
This time, I will not be removing posts from the blog. I realized that it was a big mistake. I will not be changing the blog name on the
old blog. I am keeping the name, At Home
with Tricia's Baskets and there will be a link to the old blog as well on the
new one. I fact, I will have a link to
all of my blogs and websites on all of my blogs when I change, as well as affiliates.
Here are the topics I have on Home Prep:
- Organization: This has been a running theme since I
was writing in Simply Organized Crafts.
In this category, you will find:
- Home-closet, kitchen,
bedroom, and craft room (which was previously covered in my craft blog, P.
Lynne Designs) are the main subjects.
- Work-time management,
office organization (which may be different than The home office)
- Time management- Believe
it or not, time management is part of home organization, and once you divide
your time into manageable pieces, your life will be easier to manage as
well.
- Decoration: Once you have organized your home, it is
time to decorate, and not just any decoration will do, it must be on a
budget. I am not talking about only Dollar Tree, but there are some really good deals in Target, Ikea, and even Pottery Barn, if you know where to look.
There are also projects to make ordinary-looking items look like you spent
thousands of dollars, when you only spent a fraction on creating them.
There is so much more.
These are only the major parts of the new blog.
