I was happily working in an advertising agency as a graphic designer, when my husband lost his job and we had to relocate. In moving, I had to give up that job, and it wasn't the right economy for me to find work. I was good until after I got the kids back in school, then the days with nothing to do started getting to me and I found myself, a normally very happy person, going into a slight depression.

Then one morning while watching GMA (Good Morning America), I heard them talk about Etsy. I immediately went to my computer and checked out the site and thought, I could do this. I then started my first shop, H20works which is a modge-podge of all of my crafting loves, graphics, photography, crocheting, card making, etc.

After getting several compliments on my banner and avi, I decided to open up a second shop, with JUST graphics and that blossomed into this digital collage shop. I love being other artist's source for their creations, and love seeing what they do with my digi-sheets.

Moreover, I love the friendships I've made thru the Etsy communities. I have bonded with people all over the world. It definitely was just what I needed at the time it came along!

Recently, we moved back to our beloved Bay City. Life is Good!
