PPC31: Laurel Burch Forever
So… in our last post I gave you a tour of our prototype sample for what will soon be our next new pattern! And as you might recall… I was fairly happy with that Gorilla sample I made, but there were some notable problems that I deemed necessary to improve upon in this round. So……

So… if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the course of the past 20 years, it’s that running a business on the Internet is a constantly changing entity, and that the Internet always seems to advance at a faster rate than I can keep pace with! (Am I alone here?) The latest example of this…
