It's been a year since my very first blog post. Can you even believe it?!?! I know that it may not seem like a long time to most, but for someone who was adamant about not blogging, it's changed the way I look at things, all things. Never did I imagine I would enjoy writing Cocoon's blog this much. It's turned into a creative release for me, an incentive to become computer savvy and a test of my ability to translate design into writing. I'm looking forward to the future and would LOVE some feedback from you all. Please don't be shy, for I welcome criticism and praise alike. I'd like to know more about Cocoon's readers, and what they look for in a blog nowadays particularly when there are so many great blogs out there. I aspire to remain original, creative and inspiring. Learning photoshop, becoming a better business person, and retaining the balance between home and work are on my personal agenda.

To help evolve Cocoon's blogging I would so appreciate your honest feedback. When you have a moment, please answer the questions below. Your comments, questions and opinions are welcomed. If you prefer to email me your responses, please do so at: debra@cocoonhome.com
