OK Linda, I have been adding things and I know I'm not finished by a long shot but I wanted you to see what I have been doing. I have to investigate my shopping cart a little more. Right now it is set to go to Paypal but I would like people to have a choice because that word "Paypal" still seems to scare some people off. I am also registered with Propay and can take cards that way. Martha

Martha, This might be kind of out there at this point but have you ever considered writing your own Gourd Ebooks? Seems to me with your knowledge there's potential there.

Martha, Looks like a lot has gone on since I dropped in to this thread. I agree with Winston, your site is looking much better, more organized. A gourd ebook--that's a good idea! If there's enough interest in crafting with gourds to make you a profit selling them, there is surely an even broader interest in what to do with them. How about all those rugged individualists who are growing (and cleaning) their own? Cheri

Winston and Cheri, I have thought about e-books. It pains me to write. In my head pain. I have never loved writing and there are so many people starting books on gourds. I was thinking more along the line of e-books showing different projects that can be done with gourds. Lots of pictures and not so much writing. It is just getting organized to accomplish it. Martha

Martha, Sounds like my kind of book. I'm not so great at reading and getting a lot out of it, but show me something with a brief explanation and I'll never forget it.
