Many years ago I was caught up in the business of scrapbooking. Being self-employed can be an "all consuming" project and that is what it had become for me. As more and more companies joined the industry, there was a lot of pressure to be the "trend setter" and come out with more and more product & designs.
In the middle of 'all that' my business manger decided to take a new job and I became pregnant with my youngest child. My husband was employed as the controller of a pork company - which kept him very busy. He did what he could to help me; but, the bottom line... I had come to a turning point in my life and I had to make a choice. For me, and my family, the only option was to simplify.
I let go of the ideas that had once filled my head and I trimmed our product lines down to the one I was most dedicated to - Mosaic Moments.
You may wonder why I chose to dedicate my time & my business to "a sheet of grid paper." It's not the most obvious scrapbook product. It doesn't sit on the shelf and sell itself. So, what was I thinking?
I wanted to fill a need. There are a lot of beautiful patterned papers, stickers, and embellishing products for scrapbookers. It is wonderful and I am thrilled they are available; but, how could adding another "pattern" fill a need?
The need I saw was for a page design system. One that didn't require fancy templates or tools that would cost a lot of money or have limited use. I knew that Mosaic Moments was it - the wonderful SIMPLE system for creating great pages.
Kevin and I have been thrilled with the reception we have received from you (scrapbook consumers) as we have offered demonstrations and classes at conventions nationwide. Thank you for your support. It really means a lot to us.
