I have worked in art, framing and design for 20 years and enjoy making the things I imagine a reality. It's neat getting to know the creative people in this industry. I attend the local art and craft shows to buy and sell handmade items and appreciate the hard work and heart that goes into each hand crafted item. Etsy is the perfect place for creative people and I want to be part of that journey. A few years ago I decided to quit my job and stay home to be a full time mom. This has been a lot of work getting the store up and running. I have joined marketing groups and Facebook forums and learned many things that have helped in making the store a small success. Every day there is something new to know. I'm having fun! this is a full time endeavor and it's very satisfying to be running my own business from home. My 4 kids are happy to have me home also. I hope that I can continue to make and sell my creations. Thanks to all the customers who make it possible.
