“My win for the week is that I am close to completing the setup of my studio and office, so I can host a grand opening scrap party by the end of the month! It has been a long time coming! I was a Consultant back in the day, but when I became pregnant with my son, I gave up my business to take care of him full-time. I obviously don't regret that decision, but boy, what a win it is to be almost completely back in the Creative Memories saddle again! A bigger win is that my now adult son has complimented me several times on the photo art that I produce.

Giving up the business you love to raise a child you love more than life itself, then watching that child grow into a healthy, intelligent and well-adjusted adult, while simultaneously reopening your business, is the ultimate win of all time. It's equivalent to winning the lottery in my eyes! I now have my cake and I'm eating it too! God rewarded me for that sacrifice, which, from a mom's eyes, was a tiny sacrifice to make! Thank you, Creative Memories, for having me back after all these years! You guys never left my heart even once during my absence!”
