2020 Peony Lane Designs in Review

Posted on December 29, 2020December 29, 2020 by Stacy Verdick Case

Let’s face it, 2020 is a year that most of us will be glad to see the back side of and for good reason. I am no exception.

I like to look for the positive in all situations if I can. And for 2020 the good that I can point to is lockdown gave me plenty of time to get things done. That doesn’t mean I got everything I needed or wanted to done but I did make a nice dent.

Here are a few of my favorites of 2020!

Deep Diving on Pinterest

It was the year I tried and mostly failed to get a handle on Pinterest. If you follow my YouTube vlog then you heard me lament about this a lot. I get nearly all my traffic from Google searches. Other bloggers claim to get thousands of visitors from their pins. When I checked the analytics on my website I had received 6 visitors.

So I went to school. Litterally. I signed up for the “princess of Pinterest”‘s course on how to successfully use Pinterest, and several other blogger’s Pinterest courses. What I learned was 1) make pretty pictures 2) keywords 3) Pin reguarly. All of which I knew.

I even reached out to Pinterest for their advice. They said 1) make pretty pictures 2) key words matter 3) Pin Regularly.

Needless to say I’m still frustrated with my Pinterest traffic.

We Fixed Water Damaged Tables!

Well I fixed a water damaged piece and showed my readers and viewers how to fix their water damaged tables.

We finished out basement at the start of the lockdown here in Minnesota so I couldn’t go out and get the furniture I wanted for my basement. I had to make do with what I had and that included giving an old console a makeover.

It turned out amazing!
