I began selling Mary Kay and wanted to give my customers a great looking gift to give. I would get my packaging supplies from a woman who lived about 45 minutes away, and would trek there to get my supplies. She was going out of business, so it left a void in the industry, and I wanted to fill it. Since I have an artistic background, and I love to "package" things it just made perfect sense. 

I have always been into crafts and arts. Prior to starting this business I had a craft business with my sister. 

The biggest challenge I am faced with now is building an affordable website. I keep my costs low to pass onto my customers, and I am working towards getting that done. 

My greatest strengths are product knowledge, designing and selling my products.

I am not the type of person that is great at public speaking and would never have imagined I would create informational videos on packaging. I am proud to say that I have overcome that and have released a few videos. 

First I am going to complete my web page. I also want to really take my social media campaign to the next level. I want more likes on Facebook pate. I am also looking forward to growing my business and expanding my product line and even looking into packaging other items outside of the cosmetic industry. I also want to empower more women to go into the packaging industry. 

My mentor, she was a Mary Kay Director from Ashland, Ohio, who does packaging classes and has pushed me and my products. Her positive affirmations have been inspirational. 

I hope to be remembered as a kind woman who loved to encourage people. A woman who was active in her church and took a spirtitual walk and paid it forward.
