My Personal Websites
Ilona's Garden has mainly been updated to improve readability, etc.
My Reflecting Pool has lots of new content plus the completely updated and revised pages from everything I wrote on Squidoo and Hubpages.
Loving Christmas site had problems on the back end for many years. It is now completely revise with new content added on the WordPress platform,( like all my other sites). I am excited that this site is re-born.
My Blogs
Ilona's Garden Journal, now called Home Garden Companion
Garden Librarian, Review Site
My Old House posts became part of Home and Garden Companion
I am slowly updating the many pages on the Garden Journal.
The Garden Librarian will see new content in 2026.
The Christmas Advent blog is in the process of updating and revising the structure to make the devotionals more accessible year to year. It is a vital resource for Christmas activities and inspiring spiritual topics.
POD
I am not on Redbubble. They had a shake-up and I was cut from their platform.
Society6 is a similar POD site with different emphasis and products. I am not presently active there.
Fourthwall is something new in POD world. I have made some designs, but not sure how it fully works, yet (as of 2025).
Idesign primarily on Zazzle
What I like about Fourthwall is the product lines. Choosing the brand of tshirts, for example.
Still, I m most familiar with Zazzle and it's versatility in designing plus their marketing for you is best for me, right now.
Early version of Ilona's Garden
"Ilona1" online is comprised of a melange of social network and online websites, including participation in specific online communities such as Squidoo and Zazzle. It includes those sites connected to Ilona's Garden. This page is designed as a sitemap to this web of internet activity.

Facebook page for Ilona's Garden
The most active of my facebook pages are those dedicated to my garden sites.
IlonasGarden on Google
Due to a Korean girl taking my web identity and cornering the domain name after I had some presence on Blogger with Ilona's Garden Journal, I went from ilonagarden-without-the-s to "IlonasGarden" without the apostrophe! Confusing I know, but I didn't realize someone would even want my site domain name in those early years of blogging.
YouTube Again
After ten years away, I am giving Youtube another effort.
Here is the intro from when I first started.
I'm not on X (Twitter) as much anymore, but you can find my latest tweets on @truegrit
Mostly check in and use it to share some of my projects.
