		<description>Patti,

I know I speak for many aspiring designers in thanking you for your words of wisdom.

It&#039;s disheartening to read about the lost business you suffered during the past holiday. My hope is that the tide will turn very, very soon.</description>

		<description>I own a gift basket connection in Schenectady, NY.  I advise one wanting to start a gift basket business in this economy to think twice.  I have been in business for 20 years and last year was the worst ever!  My Christmas business was cut in half by corporate accounts not ordering this year due to lack of business on their end!  I lost almost $15.000 of business from customers that have been customers for 15-20 years!  Please think twice.  I am struggling to keep afloat in this economy. Be very thoughtful with your decision!</description>
