WARM WINTER WISHES & WELCOME TO THE ZAZZLE REVIEW

Appropriately, or perhaps not so, I have decided to kick off this little blog with a review of ‘dequilla’ on Zazzle.  That would be me!
When I began on Zazzle in 2007, I was an online ‘newbie’ and not sure if I wanted to, or should, expose my real identity.  It is a quandary that many new to the online community wrestle with.  So, who could I be???  What could I call myself?  I thought and I puzzled, I searched and I researched (no I am not obsessive, I didn’t want to use someone else’s handle)  In the end I came up with the following (shush those giggles and snorts)  Naeme de la Quilla, my version of Pen Name.  I shortened it to dequilla when I signed onto Zazzle for the very first time.
In the beginning I spent a lot of time surfing through Zazzle to see all the incredible talent there and made many friends on that journey.  There is a reason so many people refer to their Zazzle pals as ‘Zamily’.  The love and support amongst the community is truly amazing!
My first products on Zazzle featured some of my original paintings.  In no time I was adding designs using my photography and original cross stitch designs.  Since then I have learned how to create amazing digital art, fractals of many kinds, and am now learning how to work in Photoshop, which is reawakening my Graphic Design training from *ahem* a few years ago.  Being a Zazzler has been a learning and growing experience and I know it will continue for many years to come.
Soooooo, now that you know the skinny on me and my Zazzle experience, I hope you will follow this blog regularly and learn more about the unbelievably amazing, talented, and inspired designers who create fantastic products just for you, on ZAZZLE!!!
