Q: Why did you want to start this kind of business?

A: It is something that I like to do, and, plus, it is a hobby of mine. My grandmother was also very crafty. I also have a creative mind.

Q: How did you get your start?

A: I did a few crafts and people were telling me that I should start selling my crafts.

Q: What does your business sell or provide?

A: We sell handcrafted items (snowman night lights, wristlet keychains, custom cups and shirts).

Q: What is the biggest challenge you are facing right now?

A: I would like to have a website, because I am not able to sell online. Be able to purchase the machine that I need to print for the shirts. More storage than I have so I can make more of my crafts. I think the website would reach more customers.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do or place in Cumberland County?

A: My favorite things to do is to go to craft shows and to meet other vendors, and to support local firehouses when they have breast cancer shirts for sale.
