Good Morning:

Well, because of the fact that I seem to be in an unwelcomed state of slumpness, I've had the time to work on Gary's "All Around The Mall.com blog. I'll be posting particular sales events once or twice a day with links directly to those stores. Because I am the official blogger in the Wlassak household, I have lots of "influence" as to what sales and specials to post about. Hence....you can look forward to an unfair amount of art supply posts!! Here's a link to the art supply page.

So...here's the basic idea behind this mall:

"All Around The Mall.com is an easy to use, family friendly, internet shopping experience. Many directories today have gone to the extreme in design and are clogged with pop-up advertisements, making shopping and searching for products or services a true task for the average web surfer. We have put together a simple, straight forward directory with products from all over the world for your convenience".

We've owned All Around The Mall.com for almost 10 years, and at one point, it was doing a nice amount of business. Gary went back to school last year to get his Bachelor's Degree, and the mall ended up on the unfortunate back burner. Now that things have slowed down a bit, Gary has taken the time to re-design the mall and start the process of getting it back to the top of the Google search engine.

Next week, I am going to have a contest for artists on the mall blog. The winner will be linked on the Artist's Page for free!! I'll announce the contest over here as well, so that all of my artist friends have a chance to participate.

Thanks so very much for taking the time to read about the mall. I would love it if you could stop by and take a peek at the new blog.

Until Tomorrow:
