Lets Talk Business...

What's a good stroy behind your craft and what got you started?
I started on Etsy following the encouragement of my oldest daughter (EvaB formerly GreenLeafandOwl). I began with handmade cards but there was too much competition so I researched other methods with which to use my rubberstamps and paper and fine-tuned stamping on dominoes. http://RunAliceRun.etsy.com soon took off with http://PipingHotPapers.etsy.com soon to follow. I haven't looked back yet.
