DesignsbyDaffy

Designs by Daffy was established in 2008 from a few boxes of scrapbooking supplies and gradually transitioned into the embroidery business it is today!!

People constantly ask me where my business name came from since my real name isn't Daffy. Well, most of my childhood and a lot of my adult life up until 2007 was spent involved in Girl Scouts, and one of my most cherished aspects of that was attending camp as a child, becoming a counselor, and finally directing our local resident camp. At camp we had nature names once we became staff, and the name I chose "Daffodil" was quickly shortened to "Daffy". Being called "Daffy" still takes me back to that time and some of my most cherished memories.

In June of 2011 I left work one day and went to a doctor's appointment that I thought might result in a night in the hospital but never dreamed it would land me in there for almost an entire month and off work for nine months. My life came to a screeching halt when I was diagnosed with Lymphoma, but being the fighter I am I picked myself up and quickly utilized this enormous amount of time I had on my hands to do the things I had never had time to do to build my business.

In 3 short months I had brought in more than my business had grossed in the previous three years combined! It's only continued to grow ever since. In March of 2012 I was blessed with the ability to return to my social work career, but quickly realized the level of stress that came with my job was no longer for me.

Now 5 years in remission my next goal was to enjoy the life I had been blessed with and continue to grow the business I love while providing my customers with the same and even better level of service and quality they had come to expect!

Taking a huge leap of faith I left my full time job and career and moved to another state in May of 2015 to merge my business and put it under the ownership of Pat's Monograms, LLC. We continue to grow and now my closest camp friend is also my business partner.
