Receive A Free Gift From Isabel Designs!
First of all, thank you for following our Blog. We appreciate your interest, but more importantly, we hope you find the blog interesting!
Isabel Designs was born in August 2008 when my sister Sue and I got together for a weekend of jewelry making and fun. We were inspired to continue creating beauty together in honour of our Mother, Marie Isabel, who died of ovarian cancer in 2001. See our creations here.
When we started Isabel’s blog we thought it would be an ideal place to share wisdom and insight passed along to us from our Mom, and also be a place for you to share stories too. As the plot thickened, so to speak, we realized that it had broader potential, so our blogging intention changed to “Reflect, Inform, Inspire”.
We need your help discerning whether we’re headed in the right direction with the blog. All you need to do is answer these five questions, and we’ll send you a free gift of appreciation! (of course it will be handmade by Isabel Designs!)
1) What kind of articles would you like to see more of:
a) mother’s wisdom
b) on creativity & /or ‘how to’ projects
c) on intentions and purposeful living
d) all of the above
2) Can you suggest new topics that might be of interest to our readers? If so, what are they?
3) Is this the first or only blog you follow? or How many blogs do you currently follow?
4) How often would you like to hear from us:
a) once a week
b) twice per week
c) three times per week
d) as often as possible
e) less is best
5) We are considering putting Google Ads on our site as a way to generate revenue. Would you support this decision, or would you find google ads obtrusive on our blog?
Please post your responses in our comments section or email your reply to: contact@isabeldesigns.com
Be sure to include an address where we can send your gift!

1. Definitely “all of the above!”
2. women finding and creating ‘community,’ i.e. art, music, emotional sharing, food sharing, fun sharing, Running, Flying, Soaring, etc.
3. I follow this blog and The Green Wave.
4. at least once a week
5. Re: google ads: definitely do it. Whatever it takes to keep a wonderful site like this going. Most of us have become adept at “not seeing” irrelevant google ads, while being able to zero right in on the ads that might have meaning.
Prizes!!! I love prizes! You know where to find me with mine! Yeah!!!

Do I get an extra special prize for being the first to respond??? I’ll take one of Chris’s fresh lime margaritas and a spot on the couch!

Thanks for responding so quickly Kathleen. Yes, we’ll make sure your prize has salt around the rim!
Topics regarding ‘women finding community’ will be a wonderful addition to the blog. Perhaps you’d like to be a guest blogger sometime?

Hi Nancy and Sue!
I’m with Kathleen on #1: I love ALL of these topics and love to read and think about them.
#2 It’s not exactly a topic, but I was thinking how cool it would be to see a video of you two making jewelry, or, Miss Woodbury, of you teaching us how to do one of your awesome craft projects!
#3 I officially follow two blogs, but I often drop by another 3 or 4 – all of them related to art, writing, music, and joyful living.
#4 Once or twice a week is great.
#5 Yes on the ads. With your great sense of design and beauty, they’ll probably look right at home here!

Thanks for answering the questions! We love your suggestions and will do our best to include your article ideas in the coming weeks and months.
From your replies, and those sent to us by email, we see that many of our followers are newbies when it comes to subscribing to blogs, so you may also see an article or two about blogging!
Sue and I will be making your special gifts this week, which means you’ll have them the week after.
For those of you who would still like a FREE GIFT from Isabel Designs, it’s not too late to answer the questions on this post. Add your comments here or email them to us at contact@isabeldesigns.com.
