Where are you from?
McDonough, GA
How long have you been in business?
since March of 2003
Tell us about your business(es)
My businesses are country and
primitive related. I sell crafts and home decor.
What are your best sellers?
My best sellers are my Mason Jar
Lamps
and Chicken Feeder Lights.
What DID you want to be when you grew UP?
I actually went to
college
to be an accountant so now my accounting skills come in handy!
When and how did you get started in this business?
I got started
in
the business after one of my daycare parents told me that I needed
to
start a craft shop since I have so many crafts in my home. That
was a
lightbulb moment for me and that night I did some online searches
for
craft sites, came across Donna with Gone Country Graphics
and she designed my first
website,
Crafty At Heart. Within 6 months I was able to quit my home
daycare
business and devote 100% of my time to my websites.
What mediums do you design with & which are your favorites?
I
love
using mason jars. I make lamps, soap & lotion dispensers, chicken
feeder lights and much more out of mason jars. They are so
versatile
and anyone who loves country decor loves mason jars!
What or who inspires you?
I get inspiration from my family. They
are
so supportive of my businesses and being a website owner allows me
to
work around my schedule. I usually work on the internet after my
husband and children go to bed.
Where do you sell your designs?
I sell my products on my
websites,
on several online craft malls, in consignment booths and in the
Country Sampler magazine.
Advice for other crafters:
My advice is to be patient. Success
won't
happen overnight but it will happen if you keep working hard and
provide your customers with great customer service. Most of my
orders
are repeat customers.
