I am Ashley…
a momma of two, a wife to my high school sweetheart, and a creative maker and business owner for the last 11.5 years. It’s rare to see me without a coffee cup in my hand. I’m so addicted that my tagline is “Cheers from my coffee cup to yours!”
I started my sign-making business at my kitchen table when I was seven months pregnant, looking for a way to make some extra income to help pay for daycare. I already had a career and was working toward being a nursing home administrator. Not what you expected? Me neither. But with steady work, this little business started to grow and take on a life of its own. At that point, I realized that my life story was about to make a significant change
I am the typical American Dream story. Years ago, I painted signs at my kitchen table, and now my husband and I work at this business full-time. We have seven full-time employees (always hiring part-time help during seasons) plus 2 VAs. We make high-quality handmade products that are shipped around the world. I’ve learned and succeeded in selling on every significant platform for creating handmade products.
