I love the saying, "If you want to make God laugh, just tell Him your plans." In 2000 my life changed a bit and I was unclear about my future. Little did I know what was in store for me. I enjoyed creating things for friends so I made a little book of invites and took it to a local bridal salon. The owner liked my work, promoted me to her brides, and... the rest is history. It just took off! Since 2000 I have been designing custom invitations and stationery for weddings and events. I feel so blessed to be doing something I absolutely love and helping to create special memories for people.
