Hi Ladies,
It’s so good to be able to touch base with you all. It’s sure been a busy past few weeks, but busy wonderful.
I just want to thank all of you for your wonderful posts and dedication. I enjoy reading each post and the wonderful thoughts/ideas you have to share.
I enjoy reading the comments viewers leave. I encourage you all to leave comments on other expert areas. One of the reasons we want to encourage posting comments is to get interaction with other women in Utah. It’s also a great tool for networking.
Utah Valley Magazine
It’s exciting for me to watch the progress of CBW. We’ve only been up a few short seven weeks and already we are getting outstanding hits. Currently we are receiving a good 200 hits a day. I’m anxious to watch our viewer ship go up with our recognition in the Utah Valley Magazine. Check it out! (page 20). Utah Valley Magazine’s viewer ship is 80,000. So we’re bound to get the word out even more about CBW.
Two New Tabs on CBW
I’m excited to tell you all about two new tabs we are currently working on. Hopefully they will be implemented on CBW in the next week or so. I’ll give you the low down…The first tabs is a book review/club tab. The idea came together while thinking about book clubs being so popular. Women also love to share a good book with their friends. This is how it works. Viewers can submit a book title, info on the book, what the book is about, their impressions of the book, name of the person who submitted the book, etc. Each book review will have a thumbnail image of the book's cover that will link to Amazon, if they want more information or to purchase this book
The next tab I’m really excited about. It's basically a yellow pages for women’s blogs/websites in Utah. It will have much of the same format as the book review but instead of a book, the image and info will tell about a blog/website in Utah with a screenshot image linking to that blog's.
I hope each of these two tabs will quickly become popular!!! Believe on this...I wake up at nights with idea after idea flowing into my mind. I've got so many wonderful tab ideas we hope to implement down the road. Baby steps!
If any of you come up with a name for either of these two new tabs let me know. (I’ve got to decide on their tab names soon!).
Honoring Womanhood
We are always lookout for amazing woman to spotlight in Honoring Womanhood. If any of you know of a woman we could get in contact with let us know.
CBW Button
I hope all of you are also spreading the word about CBW. We have an animated gif on CBW’s contact page and also one on the main page (first box at the bottom) if you want a link to CBW to put on your website/blog.
Val Baldwin
I’m also excited to announce one of Girlfriend to Girlfriend (G2G) newest Expert is Val Baldwin from Good Things Utah. She is an amazing Certified Relationship Coach with much talent and expertise to offer women. She is also helping us get CBW on Good Things Utah to spread the word and bring Utah women together! I’m excited to also be working with Val on putting together a Women’s Conference this fall. I’ll keep you posted when we get more info.
Speaking of the woman conference with Val Baldwin. From the very beginning of CBW, we've wanted to create yearly women's conferences for Utah women. Having no experience only a strong desire, it's amazed me to watch door after door open for us. I have to believe when you are aligned in life and doing what's right, the universe opens it's doors.
I can't wait till the time comes to create CBW's non-profit, it will be interesting to watch a new door open.
Two Last Things...
If any of you are going to be on Good Things Utah, Studio 5, local TV or news papers…let us know. We would love to give you more attention on CBW.
If any of you are having a hard time finding images to add to your post, let me know. I’m happy helping out with pictures.
Investors
We are also scouting out investors for CBW. This website has so much potential it’s unreal. Right now CBW is in its infant stage. I sleep at night only to wake up to new ideas, new tabs, and new adventures to pursue with CBW. If any of you know of any resources let us know.
I thank you all for your love and support. I enjoy your emails and phone calls that help me to get to know you all better.
Thank You all! Julie

Hi Ladies,
Every couple of weeks I plan on emailing you…to say Hi and see how things are going.
I realize this first email is much past due, I’ll do better.
First of all, I just want to thank all of you for joining Crazi Beautiful Women as experts in Girlfriend to Girlfriend.
I’ve been very impressed with your blogs, I’ve found them very informative and well written. Each of you are so talented in your areas of expertise. I’ve enjoyed reading comments by viewers; hopefully we’ll get them posting more.
One Month
CBW has officially passed over our one month mark. We’ve been getting some great attention and many many complements. I feel G2G is a gem all in it’s self, no other website (that I’ve seen) presents experts quite like we do.
Utah Valley Magazine
CBW is being featured in Utah Valley Magazine's next issue (march/april). We're antispacting a new audience visiting CBW...so if you've yet to post...get them going!
We are pushing hard at a CBW press release. We's hitting all the local newspapers, magazines, studio 5, good things utah, etc. If any of you have "connections" let us know.
Banners
One of the thing I wanted to tell you about is the new banners across each of your blogs. I realized quickly after G2G was launched, the area’s need better identifying. If you ever want to change this image, let me know.
Girlfriend to Girlfriend Splash Image
We’ve just launched our G2G splash image (this is the large image on CBW’s main page). Right now Lindsey is our featured expert, Sunday Denise with Fancy Pants Portraits will be featured for the next 3-5 days. I will randomly pick an expert to be featured on this image, but I would like you ladies to also give me feed back on events, certain postings, if you have a newsletter going out to your viewers and you mention CBW I’ll post you on the splash image to give you a larger presence on the web-site.
If you are doing a press release on a new book you just published, get CBW involved and let’s get the word out. I’m here to pump attention to you and your businesses.
Honoring Womanhood
I just added a new box on the bottom of the main page for Honoring Womanhood. Go check it out for a better example. I’m trying to get the community involved with bringing to us women in our community to feature and pay honor to. If any of you would like to be spotlighted, know someone who would be willing to be spotlighted, let me know.
Giveaways
You are all welcome to post comments in hopes of “winning” any of our freebies on CBW. This next week we have a great makeover from Studio Enizio that will be great!
Business Cards
If any of you are interested in handing out business cards, let me know, I can mail you a stack.
Email Friends and Family
It will take a lot to get the word of CBW out. It would be wonderful if you could email all your friends and family and tell them about the website.
Jann and Cece
I need to clearify who Jann and Cece are. J=Julie ann=my middle name (kinda' dorky I know), but it's me. Cece is my beautiful Mother, Her name is Cecile. Her nickname since she was a little girl has been Cece.
About 3 weeks ago my computer crashed and had pictures of us on it that we had just taken. So hopefully I can get those retaken.
I'll tell you a little about me (Julie). I'm married to a wonderful husband (who just brought me home my favorite fudge for V-day), we have four beautiful boys 12,9,5 and 3. We have a great golden retriever named norma-gene and a 4foot corn snake. It's all about boys and dirt at our house...and I love it. Someday we hope to adopt a girl to add to our family, I feel this will complete us.
For now, I'm about as crazi as it gets. I spend hours a day working on CBW, my house is a mess and my kids love pancakes for dinner :)....my husband is a good sport I have to say.
Next email I'll get Cece to chat u all!
In the mean time...I love, love, love your emails....feel free to email me with anything!
