AFTER MUCH THOUGHT AND PROCRASTINATION, I AM FINALLY PUTTING PEN TO PAPER... NO, I'M ACTUALLY PUTTING FINGERTIPS TO KEYBOARD BUT REGARDLESS, I AM WRITING MY FIRST BLOG POST.

I realize I'm late to the self-publishing party, but my hesitation stems from the challenge to creatively put thoughts into words. Usually, I'm artistically fluent when working on a collection, but the thought of channeling creativity into words scares me a bit.  I am not a writer, however, I do have a nagging desire to share my inspirations and stories behind the pieces I design. Each piece has a wonderful story and a history behind it and up until now, I have only been able to share these with Double D Ranch collectors through one-on-one conversations or via email. There has been a gap in effectively communicating these stories both practically and economically. Fortunately for me and everyone else, we now have the technology for instant and global self-publishing. We can now connect literally to the world.

So with that being said, let us begin.
