Born to degreed Fine Artists (they met in art class at a university) who won prizes, taught, held workshops my whole life, it's not a surprise that my path involved creating, first with crafting various things that I sold in a few stores, then on the web with a site I composed for the 100 dog breeds (+ cats) I wanted to do. I designed and painted several backgrounds for them, learned digital art so I could insert them in the background and then affixed to several products. Working 50-60 hours a week filling orders got me primed to trying a print-on-demand company back in 1994 which turned out to be such a blessing that my husband was able to quit his accounting manager job and pursue his dream.

Then came the curve ball when the company changed their pricing platform and my royalty was dropped to 5 to 10%. Even so, without advertising after 19 years, the sales seem to flow continuously for which I am most grateful.

My husband and I now live in Mulberry, FL and have a wonderful Yellow Lab mix and a Tuxedo cat who are great buddies and constantly entertain us.
