Re: [AlpacaTalk] PS: Advertising Discussion
I think a daily ad day is a good idea too.? I'm with Janice about Ellie's post, but at the same time could see where they could at times violate Heather's idea that if an advertisement benefits the whole alpaca community it is ok, if it benefits just the seller, it is not ok.? A book can be thought of as both ways - benefiting us with ?information, but definitely only the author financially.
So my vote is with a one day advertisement day.

Now that's a great idea, one day of advertising, not allowed the other
6 days of the week. Kind of like Craigslist pets show and tell Fridays!
I like it! What do the rest of you think about it?
And Janice, you're so funny, apprentice with me! I learned how to weave
in college and I can draft patterns like nobody's business, and I can
sew very well, though I'm not a "production" seamstress, that's for
sure! But as for the spinning and felting... I'm just learning, myself!
And I have learned that I am not so crazy about preparing the fleece.
SO tedious! But I have so many things that I want to do, that I'm going
to have to force myself since I don't have the ready funds to send my
fleece off to the mill for processing, even into batts or rovings! And
felting in the bathtub really sucks. :)
