Pay It Forward Featured Artist.....Dana.

I would like to welcome you all to this special post. Today, I would like to introduce the Pay It Forward Artist for this Monday. Her name is Dana. And she is a sweet, talented, and determined woman when it comes to her candle making. It shows in every candle that she pours and every order that she fills. She gives each candle her own special attention to detail. That is what makes her product stand out from all the rest.  But don't take my word for it. Here is her bio in her own words:

  "My name is Dana and I live in a small town in South Carolina with my wonderful husband Freddie and my 19 year old son Tyler.

I worked in retail accounting for a company based out of Ohio for many years. Then one day we were told that they would be closing all the Southeastern stores and I was devastated this was my dream job. So I picked up the pieces and moved on.
At first I was excited to be a SAHM but quickly became depressed because I was so used to being on the go all the time and never stopping. So going from that life style to doing nothing was very hard on me.
So that Christmas I decided to hand make all my gifts and everyone LOVES candles so that's what I decided to make. I did a lot of research on line and practiced. I searched the Internet to find the finest wax, fragrance oils, and molds to produce the highest quality candles. And with a lot of trial and error, I mastered the art of candle making.
That year I gave them to family and friends and they became a huge hit. Next thing I knew I had orders coming in. I started having home parties and doing craft shows. Then I had so many friends and customers suggest that I start my own web site. So with much consideration my husband and I agreed that is what we should do. So he handled all of that for me, thank goodness because I'm not good at that part of the business. I think he did a wonderful job on the web site and that's how Homespun Treasures began.
I'm so fortunate to be able to do what I Love and I count my blessings daily."
