BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. That's my motto. If you can visualize it in your mind, then you can do it.

Rarely do I see something I want already made for me, sitting on a shelf in some store just waiting for me to purchase and take home. Nope. That's not me at all. I guess it has to do with being a homesteader by nature, but I LOVE to and would rather make my own stuff!

And I don't mind putting in the man hours to make the stuff I want, whether it be growing food for my family, redecorating a room from top to bottom utilizing my skills, or even starting a nonprofit organization!

That's right. I founded a nonprofit organization when I didn't see something out there that I wanted for the world, particularly homeless older German Shepherds in need. :)

I love a self-sustaining life, being my own boss, and creating dog-related, decorative slate signs, fun German Shepherd/Dog graphic Tee shirts, phone pops, drink coasters, car coasters, decals, printables, and more for folks like you!

But I also strive to utilize my store platform to support Woody's Place Senior German Shepherd Sanctuary, which IS the 501 c3 nonprofit organization I was telling you about.

Woody's Place provides long-term, top-notch care to displaced senior German Shepherds eight years and older.

So I get to work from the sanctuary while providing a much-needed service for all these wonderful older German Shepherds who are right here in the shop with me all the time!

IT'S LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE!

And let me tell you, there's nothing more rewarding than doing what you love for a living, providing fine folks such as yourself with something you are gonna LOVE, and supporting a nonprofit organization while doing it!

If you had told me when I was younger that this is what I would be doing as an adult, I would have laughed. But the truth is that I've NEVER LOVED any job I've EVER had because that's not what I was meant to do. THIS IS, and it's all because I BELIEVED IN MYSELF, and so should you.

Peace, Love, & Sloppy dog kisses,
Dawn
