WOW. Good luck. You should do well since few people know those skills these days.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

Good luck Dori! I know you will do great. There is a lot of money to be made. I checked on some services here and wow it is expensive! ON the other hand I would rather have someone else do it for me so well worth it.

Dori, This is Awesome news, I am sooo happy for you !! :woohoo: My friend Lynne is also a seamstress and she gave up the corporate world 3or 4 years ago to follow her dream. She works right out of her house, is so freakin busy and is doing very well financially (which is saying a lot considering where we live) . My friend, you said you'd "try to start your own business..... just "DO IT", you've got what it takes and you're going to do Beautifully. ((((HUGS))))) to you !!! :)
