Talk To Me Tuesday!

Not too long ago, I joined Etsy Kids, an etsy team devoted to all things kids and moms. I'm still learning the ropes on their site, but I knew I wanted to meet more artists creating for kids and do some cross-promoting. What better way to do that than with Talk To Me Tuesday? To start off, I interviewed Candice from Butterflies and Rainbows. Be sure to check out her shop and leave her a note!

I have a degree in accounting and I was working as a Receivables Clerk for a Bankruptcy Trustee until I had my second child!
