    Melissa Snyder
    Life is What Happens

    Children and their ages:
    3 year old triplets

    Started Business: Oct 2003

    Products:
    Custom handmade scrapbook albums, layouts, page kits, album kits, tags, paper piecings, inspiration, organization. Unique gift ideas. Albums: wedding, baby, Disney, birthday, Grandparents, Mom, Dad, Christmas, School, Toddler, Halloween, Teenager, Friends, Journals, Pregnancy, Sports, heritage, family.

    Why you chose this business :
    I love scrapbooking. I have been making gift albums for years and everybody tells me how beautiful they are and that I should try selling them. It took off from there.

    Hardest part of business :
    Finding the time. I am a stay at home mom and really want to enjoy my kids while they are young and not in school. I don't want to work while they are up so I try to do most of my work while they sleep.

    Best part of business:
    The compliments, expanding my skills, creating layouts that I wouldn't typically do in my own albums.

    Are you successful by your standards?
    I want to give it a full year before I decide if I am successful. I am proud that I have gone this far.

    Biggest support :
    My husband and my mother are very supportive. I go out scrapbooking every Friday night and on several weekends a year. He never says a word.

    Anything you would do different?
    Haven't been doing it long enough to say.

    How To Annoy Your Visitors!

    When you build a website, your goal is to get people to come to your website, look around and find reasons to come back. If your site is annoying you can be sure they will find another site to visit, never to come back to yours.

    A Manic Mom's Pity Party

    I'm having a Manic Mom Pity Party, want to come?

    Bring your cup of coffee, box of tissues and share your stories of being unable to take a shower without someone asking you to make a grilled cheese or to tell you that so-and-so put the cat in the refrigerator. Locking the bathroom door is useless since the kids discovered how to pick it a year ago.

    Red Wine on White Carpet? Even after it has dried or you have tried and failed with other cleaners? Use one part Dawn dish detergent and two parts "fresh" hydrogen peroxide. Apply to stain and work with a small cleaning brush. (old toothbrush works) Use white towel or paper towels to soak up excess fluid. Watch the stain disappear! You may want to use a damp cloth after scrubbing stain away to remove excess soap from carpet. This works wonders. You may want to test a small section of carpet to test if carpet is off white and not snow white. It worked great on my beige carpet, but if not careful I can see how it could "bleach" some colors of carpet. I used this cleaning method after spilling an entire glass of red wine in the middle of my livingroom off white carpet. My husband and I tried for an hour to remove the stain with some cleaners we had at home. The best we could do was turn the red stain an ugly gray. I found this "recipe" on a message board and thought, "what can I possibly lose?" I am happy to say now that if I didn't know where it happened to begin with you would never be able to find the stain. It is COMPLETELY gone. It really is that simple and it really does work!
