Writing is a great love of mine. Whenever I have a
free moment you can find me with pen and paper writing. I keep a journal and
every night I write about my day but also about what is happening in the world
and how that affects me. Writing gives me hope, it gives me the confidence to
express myself, and it lets me vent my frustrations at times too. When I hear a
new word or an inspirational quote, I write it down right away in my note pad;
I love quotes that inspire, give hope, and help to make you positive. As weird
as it sounds, I like to help people through writing. If I can send a letter,
message, or piece of advice to someone who needs it, I will because I find it
so healing and personal.
Another love of mine is movies, in particular classic
films. I have the Turner Classic Film channel on almost all of the time. I love
the old musicals with all of the singing and dancing, but I also enjoy the intense
dramatic tear jerkers from way back when too. Montgomery Clift is my favorite
classic film star and when I watch any of his films I become so mesmerized with
his performances.
While in University I joined the Buddy Program and
met people from all over the world. I made two amazing friends from the UK and recently
visited them. Traveling is a new hobby of mine and I hope to see more of the world
soon!
Crafting and creating have always been big passions
of mine otherwise I wouldn’t be in this business, so getting to do it every day
makes me feel so fortunate. Right now we are focusing largely on making cards
and invitations for all occasions, but pretty soon we are going to add bath and
beauty products to our list of items to sell. My excitement about the bath and
beauty products is so great because of how we make them. I have a nut allergy, so
at times it can be difficult to find products that I can use that only have a
few ingredients. With our products, everything will be nut free with only a few
natural ingredients which is important to me.
Owning your own business is a lot of work but such a
rewarding experience. We have so many ideas and we are looking forward to
sharing them with you as we grow and learn more about being businesses owners!
