It is LIVE.

It is NEW.

It is so improved you’ll do a double take if you’ve been a member for more than a couple of weeks. YES . . . the GBR Online site has been completely overhauled, reorganized, and totally jazzed up for your enjoyment and convenience. Paula Irvin, the web designer, deserves applause, doesn’t she? Most definitely! And give David Paulk -- my hubby -- a round of applause, too. He was the anchor man for the transition.

For years it was a dream of mine to have ALL the back issues of Gift Basket Review scanned in a high resolution and available to everyone. Now you can do what most people have NEVER been able to do, and that is, to search back through every issue for ideas that were so far ahead of their time when originally published, they are still on-trend today.

While we were putting things together, I had the fun of going through each archive issue, page by page. Although I was editor of the magazine through the years and intimately involved in the production, writing, photography, and design, there were so many things I had completely forgotten that had been published. And they are terrific!!

But putting the archives in pdf format is just one of the more enjoyable tools in the new GBR site. More are on the way -- so keep coming back often.

Enjoy all the new reading and browsing. There are so many photographs, instructionals, videos, articles, and seminars, you could read for hours every day and still not be finished for weeks!!!

Have a great time on the new site. And send me an e-mail when you have the time. Love to hear from you!
