Happy Anniversary to Art Predator Blog! 13 years, 13 hits
On the night of the time change in 2007, I started this blog based on a newspaper column I wrote which was also called Art Predator. Because the date the night of the time change changes, I celebrate this event twice!
And certainly blogging consistently for so many years is worthy of celebration!

In the beginning of this blog, it was very eclectic with a fair amount of my poetry and art included as well as wine! As I progressed as a blogger, I had the opportunity to do social media for a wine import company, but when that fell through when the economy tanked, I went into wine blogging anyway where I have found great success including wine travel around the world and lots of cases of wine come my way every month!

Ha! Well that’s true for Art Predator, not so true for Wine Predator!
