Hello from Rockport, WA. I am married, have one child still at home, and I have 3 dogs and 2 cats. I started my home-based business in August of 2005. Before the thought of even owning my own business became a reality, I was a sweepstakes junkie.. yep I entered every contest I could find. LOL. I found a contest to win a free 16oz Gourmet soy candle and body bar.. I didnt win the prize but I did meet a wonderful lady, who later turned to become my sponsor. I chose to do the retail part of the business, since I live right on a major State Route here in WA. I also found the creative side of myself, as I also make gift baskets and other unique gift items. If you would like a scent sample or more info on my business please drop me a line. And if you know anyone who loves candles and would like a scent sample please let them know too, dont forget to enter the free weekly contest to win a 16oz Gourmet Soy Candle and body bar. Thanks
