Olive Juice Studio

There was once a quirky girl who lived in a fantasy world made up of everything creative and handmade.  She was very passionate about making things and dreamed of sharing olive her creative energy with the rest of her crafty world. Everyone who had the opportunity to see her artwork loved what they saw because it was typically as edgy and quirky as she.  People were so intrigued because she was so fresh and unique so they kept flooding to her website to find more.  She decided to expand by hand picking  guest olives to join her in her blog land.  The olives were delighted. They giggled with glee while shouting out, “Olive you  (kiss-kiss)and we’d be honored to be a master olive in charge of inspiring!”  It became such a big deal that people squealed with delight while revving and racing to her site.  They found her blog land so charming and entertaining and told all of their friends without delaying!  Just two days later, her creativity was condemned by the BIG and ALMIGHTY Blogger He-Man .  “YOU’RE SPAM! And have violated our TOS! We’ve shut you down and deleted  your service! “

“It’s not true!” cried the quirky girl who was left in a tizzy to find her blog shut down that just minutes earlier was so busy!   So what if I cause a traffic jam once in a while?  Wha’s the big deal?  Isn’t that what an olive is supposed to do?

Blogger demanded, ” Ol-ive you! You’re creating quite a stir and  these traffic jams MUST stop so they don’t reoccur! WHAT?  You want it back because it was becoming so successful?  That’s funny my dear - and totally nonsensical! You’ll have to wait hours, but most likely days… okay that’s not true –  it really takes weeks!  It’s called an appeal, there’s a four step process – follow it to the “T” but we’ll probably still delete ya!  Don’t like what you’re hearing?  Oh that’s too bad!  I guess you’ll have to appeal our review of your site – stating that you’re Spam, ALL day and ALl night.  But see, we deal with so much spam, we’ve lost TOTAL control  of our blog land!  Don’t you feel sorry for us?!  Won’t you just wait, until we can get to your blog at some later date?  You’ve mentioned that you’re leaving our blog platform – what’s the deal? Aren’t we good enough for you?  You need to come back now!   Plus, we left you in a bad position because we’ve confiscated  all of your content – and your followers  too.  Including  all the blood, sweat and tears that made it work so well for you! You’ve lost your rights to your blog so, get along then -we’ve deleted your content so you’re starting from scratch! If you want a new blog, I guess you’ll have to start fresh, on our platform of course… so we can control  and deport you during your next traffic jam.”

So the quirky  and crafty girl thought long and hard while receiving tons of emails full of support asking “What happened?  Where are you?  What’s wrong with your links? What happened to Olive Juice Studio – come back! We want more!”

“I CAN do  this!” the quirky girl said with confidence and glee . “People DO want to know what happened to me  - maybe a  new website is just what I need!”  She crafted a website with her own URL she’s now found at http://wwww.olivejuicestudio.com. 

She threw open her doors to her new website –  happily giggling and smiling at her life!  Thank you for stopping by and becoming my friend.  Olive you all and hope to see you again!” 

The quirky girl sat back in her chair and started to craft once again.  She lived happily ever after in her creative NEW  Olive Juice Studio land.
