50 Kris Kringle gifts December 2010
So how fascinating is that? Out of all the revealing, heartfelt, witty, intelligent, insightful things (!!) that I wrote last year, the one that was viewed the most was about a thank you letter (sent to a customer who gave a gift of Queen B candles). Being someone who loves to analyse things (and wanting a full beehive complement of blog viewers in 2011!), I pondered why? Is it that everyone loves a bit of good news? Do Queen B blog readers have a latent fear that they don't say thank you enough and want some tips?!
Penny for your thoughts...
- what do you enjoy reading on the blog
- what would you like to see more or less of?
- is doing a blog worthwhile, or should I reclaim my life and just focus on making beautiful beeswax candles?
The best/most helpful/insightful response (as judged by me!) will receive a selection of Queen B candles (as chosen by me!) to the value of $200. Winner announced on Friday, 18th February 2011.
