Finally! I've got a new look, a new name and a new blog at www.CindyEdelstein.com. I'm so excited!
Expect a lot more content and please don't be shy to comment or ask questions on the new site. CindyEdelstein.com offers a lot more information on the rest of our projects and events, too. So much to share! I hope you join me there.
We're addicted to magazine here and while the industry is going through great upheaval we're still happy to have our mailbox filled. Most of our favorites have survived the recent downsizings and now we've found a great sale (and a so-so sale) to share with you all.
