So what's the difference...Hot Cocoa vs. Hot Chocolate!

Hot chocolate, or "drinking chocolate," is made from ground chocolate (which contains cocoa butter), which is mixed with hot milk to make the beverage. Hot cocoa, however, is made with cocoa powder only (which contains no cocoa butter, and is thus very low in fat), along with nonfat dried milk, sugar and natural flavorings.  How do you like yours?

What's your favorite cookie?

Cookie Bouquets!

So there were some questions about these themed cookie bouquets. I just wanted to let you know that they come in two sizes: 5 cookies in a mug and 7 cookies in mug.  The images show 9 cookies but they are not available. These cookies are individually wrapped so that the freshness is still there when you eat one. You can actually give it to 5 or 7 different people from one Cookie bouquet. Hope this helps!

These gift baskets are so great!

Everytime that I look at these gift baskets the more I just went to send myself one!  Maybe two.. maybe three!  There are just an assortment of baskets that fits everyone's personal needs!  They are quality, cute, and affordable..... Share some love!

12 days in.....

I've reached 100 guest visiting my site! However, no purchases... :(  That's alright though because I'm planting my seeds. Till then....

I'm so excited!

I emailed a few people about my Grand Opening of La Bella Baskets!  Ever since I clicked on the send button I've been checking my back office to see how many hits I would get.  I think I've been checking a bit too much in one day.  But how exciting is it to discover that people are viewing your site!  I have 40 hits already.  Hope that it keeps coming!

So here are my stats...

My first initial start up with this company was on a Friday (10.29.10).  On Oct 31st, while giving out candy to the little trick-or-treaters, I created a facebook page and invited all of you (my friends) to let you know that I'm in the gift basket business and I've created a Facebook Ad to get to an even higher mass of people that would be interested.  I had 23 hits to my site (minus 10....that was all me.... :p )  So 13 people hit my site in two days..... Record breaking?  Not really but it's definitly a start! 
As far as my Facebook ad I had 6 "clicks" on the ad.  Not too bad.....
Thank You for your support!

Well I finally did it!!!!!

Hi my little Bellas!
I finally did it and now have an online business officially called "Fancy La Bella Baskets"!  Just like my Blog Spot page!  I am excited to start up with "La Bella Baskets" which offers wonderful training for new consultants.  I'm not expecting this to be a Get rich scheme... I wanted to find something that would help me out as a part time job without feeling like I was working 24 hrs a day.  I chose to work when I want to.  The way that I see it is that where ever I go it just seems that Gift baskets are a great gift to give someone.  The facial expressions that I see is just so heart warming.  If I'm able to provide smiles by giving gifts or having others giving gift baskets to their loved ones and friends what's to stop me from providing that opportunity to give that perfect gift!  Yay for me!

Building the entreprenuer state of mind

Gift Consultant for Gift Baskets is not a bad gig if you like helping others send meaningful gifts to on another.  Not much to lose but to dive in and see where this will lead me.  I would love to go behind the minds of the great business developers and see what their fears and goals were.  I'm sure I'm feeling what everyone is feeling when it comes to new ideas.  You have this rush of excitement but then it's slowed down with doubt.  I need to overcome this.......

And so the adventure begins!

Hello Everyone!
I'm excited to say that I am a first time blogger.  But who's to say that I can't learn?  So I'm starting this off with the adventure of starting up a business called "Fancy La Bella Baskets".  It is a "Gift Basket and More" type business that I would market to all who's looking for that special gift.  I'm excited and a bit nervous about what's to come but I'm sure that I can rough out the patches and make it through to a successful journey!  I figure that I would be helping people put big fat smiles on their loved ones faces when they receive the baskets and all the while help my business sprout!  Please stay tuned as there will be more to come.  I'm still in the progress but it won't be long......
Till Then......
