I enjoy talking about my small business, but there is only so much my friends and family want to hear after awhile. Some of the aspects of an on-line business are fascinating to me and if I talk too long about it, I can see my loved ones’ eyes glaze over and they begin nodding,… Continue Reading

Pack Order – Scout Sandwich Anyone?
Humans don’t get it. When you sit or lay on the floor, you are now in dog territory. You’re fair game to sit on and get your long overdue face bath. You are also considered to be lower in the pack order. A-Dog rarely sits on the floor, but Shoes-on-the-Floor, Little-Feet and Preemie-Feet, all spend… Continue Reading

Give Hope
Inspiration comes from many places when you’re present enough to pay attention. I admire women entrepreneurs who run their businesses successfully and give back at the same time.

Welcome to Fall and the RiverDog Prints Giveaway at I ? Faces

I did come home to piles of laundry (doesn’t any else know how those machines work?) and the dirtiest kitchen floor I’ve ever seen (didn’t ask questions). Now I’m furiously working on holiday designs and finishing up the addition of envelope seals to the… Continue Reading
