1What do you like about having a online shop? I like being able to showcase my work and have people see it. Its challenging because initially its hard for people to know that you exist. Marketing and advertising play a huge roll in having an online shop...the more people you can get to your site, the more people can enjoy what they see.

2what is youre signature color? My signature color is green. For sure.

3Whats the best advice you got about start youre own biz? The best advice I got was to just keep believing in what you're doing. It takes time for a business to grow, so you just need to have patience in order to see that what you are doing is worth it.

4Whats better buying youre supplies at a bead store or a craft store? I like both really. Bead stores definitely have an advantage because you can find pretty much whatever you need, however, being someone that doesn't always use traditional materials, I like to shop in other stores to see what sort of unusual things I can find to use for my designs.

5 Are you going to do any craft shows ? I have applied for the Stitch Austin show in November. I usually participate in local craft shows when the weather isn't so HOT outside!
