How My Business Began
Storybook Sites has been my home business for about 3 years now. Before then, I had many jobs and hobbies. I designed furniture with my dad, worked as a bank teller, a receptionist, a day care woker, a christian book store clerk, and of course I was a professional clown for quite a while. I visited other churches and talked with teen groups about creative ways to share their beliefs with others. I would dress up as a clown and do numerous performances for non-profit.
I attended several Christian Colleges, including Pensacola Christian College in Florida for a short time before getting married. I studied elementary education. I do not have an professional education in web design or arts, although I have dealt with both since I was 15. In 1995, I was selected to be part of a team in my city to design a multi-panel mural, which now hangs in the High Point Theatre of Arts.
I met my husband at a park on the 4th of July and of course, I was dress up as "Annabelle". After a long while he finally worked up the nerve to come sit with me as I made balloon animals for all the gathering children. We went on our first date the very next day and have never been apart since. We will celebrate our 5 year anniversary this spring. In that time we have brought 3 beautiful children into the world.
As a web designer I also know what it feels like to be involved in developing products for sale. Recently I patented a new product for potty training. Having gone through the very difficult process and long months of testing and development of my product, I feel I understand where each and every one of my customers come from. I am doing it too. And I'm just here to help women like myself present their online businesses in a professional and beautiful way.
Boutique web design is my specialty. We all have a specialty, its god-given to us. Use that ability in an online business and learn to work for yourself. It is rewarding, fulfilling and gives you purpose. Stay home with your kids and dont miss out on all those sweet little moments.
