Welcome to Hopeful Valley!

Greetings and welcome to the new blog of Hopeful Valley.  What is Hopeful Valley, you might ask.  It is the name of my website,  www.Hopefulvalley.com.  I am an affiliate with La Bella Gift Baskets and call my business Hopeful Valley Gift baskets.  I have a shop on Etsy.com called Hopeful Valley Vintage.  Both stores can be accessed through my main website and I am also going to put links on here.

Hopeful Valley is ALSO the name of the fictional town where many of my stories take place.  What stories, you wonder?  Well, the ones that are in my head that I am eventually going to WRITE!   Many of the stories are romantic adventure types.   Currently I am a student through the Institute of Children's Literature and once I am done with those classes, I may see about taking some other writing classes through online means.  I have learned a lot through the classes so far.

Hopeful Valley is also an idea in my head that I am trying to work into a website.  I am always searching online for inspiration and guidance for various reasons, and I would love to make HopefulValley.com a place where people, probably women mainly, can come to as a one stop place to find links to amazing sites that can provide information they need!   It is a work in progress, mainly in my head at this time, with a bit here and there added to the actual site. 

Hopeful Valley's blog is about the growth of all of the Hopeful Valley entities listed above, as well as things I have learned and am experiencing!  I'll try to be consistent in my entries. In the past I have been known to procrastinate because I get side tracked, and months could go by before I make an entry. I am determined to do better here!
