We love to create using vinyl and have learned that it is more than just signage.

I really love the creation part but I also love to hold the project that began as a concept.

For us who love to travel, could you share a bit about your beautiful town/ city? 

I live in a beautiful little Swedish town! (I am having no luck sharing pictures).

Could you share on how your organize your products, we all can use a little tips here and there in this department?

I could absolutely use some tips.


What is your best seller?

Love Dashboard Graphics.

How does your day go in general?

My day job requires lots of travel and federal regulations, So when I get home from work I can relax, be creative and not worry about regulations.


How do you balance your personal and work life?

I am not so good at this. My work life overwhelms my personal life regularly.


What inspires you?

Color and style.


What is your goal for 2014?  And are you on the right track?

To begin working my day job half time and my vinyl designs half time. Yes there are lots of changes coming in the next few months :)



What is the key to success?

Persistence and dedication

Any advice for others running their on-line shop?

Persistence and Dedication are very necessary

What does handmade mean to you?

Anything created on a small scale with love

What is your favorite quote, song, or movie?

Life is not about the number of breaths that you take. It is about the number of moments that take your breath away.

    1. Thank You! That picture is of my daughter's car. She was driving to North Carolina (21 hours) to do her internship. I want her to remember that I was thinking of her and to be safe. I think it helped with homesickness too :)

  7. I didn't realize the vinyl was so versatile, but I see that it can be used in many ways beyond signage.
