I've heard it said that to become successful, you need a "story"--something that touches your emotions, something that makes you keep going. It is the answer the the question, "Why am I sitting here at 2 in the morning trying to make this work when I'd really rather be in bed." Travis is my story.

Travis was brain injured by DPT vaccine. He is a handsome and funny young man who loves God, his Guardian Angel, and horses. He likes to draw, and has drawn several angels and an advent wreath for my samplers. He will probably be with me for a long time to come. Unfortunately, he requires 24/7 attention. Travis was the motivation to start a business that would enable me to work from home so I could provide Travis' care when he is out of school. Legally, disabled children can stay in school until the age of 22. Travis turned 22 on April 21, 2005.

I love crafts and I love the Lord. It is a real blessing to be able to combine the two into a business that will enable me to take care of my disabled son.

I enjoy designing samplers, but I'll be the first to admit that computers are not my strong point--developing my web site has been a real and continuing challenge for me. My apologies to all, as I am not up to speed yet; but I committed to advertising in a national magazine that hit the newstands before I was ready.

Thank you for your patience as I scramble to fit all the pieces together.

Yours in Christ, Carolyn
