I’m so happy to be visiting the J & O Fabrics blog today. To share a little bit about myself . . . After working for the Mayor of Nashville for several years, my childhood love of art was rekindled when I went to the store to purchase art supplies as a stress reliever. Two years later, I took a step of faith and launched a collection of note cards at a stationery show in New York. A week later, my designs were being presented to Target where they would eventually appear on a variety of paper products found not only on the shelves of Target, but of Barnes and Nobles and several boutiques as well.
