I must tell you it has taken me years to get noticed as a "experienced" designer I am 42 years old and for me it's working from home is what works for me..I have 4 children the oldest will leave for collage this fall.. I have been able to raise them all here in our home and still be able to work and make an income.. Yes I have a seasonal business and a lot of designers feel that if your not in it every day then you don't qualify!! I have earned my good name from a lot of blood sweat and tears. and I do understand where they are coming from.. I feel for them too. So I don't really take to much of it to heart they are untitled to there opinion's too..
I am glad we have a place to come and talk. One thing is for sure we ALL LOVE FLOWERS...so we share a common

bond in a way!!
