My 2 Angels

Introducing My Kids 

These are my precious two angels Kara and Lauren. My world has been turned upside down because of these two and I wouldn't have it any other way :)

My oldest Kara (Age 4) will be entering kindergarten in September. Lauren (Age 3) will have some more quality time with mommy while Kara is away.

"We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today."

Got Cats? 

My husband and I just love kitties... And it shows in our house :)

We are owned by 9 wonderful kitties ranging in age from 3 to 10. Each one holds a special place in our heart.

Featured above are the brothers Good Big Guy and Tiny Terror.

My Pride And Joy ~ ABeautifulSecret.com 

Offering Quality Beauty Products At Affordable Prices

If you would have asked me three years ago if I would ever move off of auction venues and sell on a website ... I would have laughed so hard! Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine having the power over my own selling site. Yet, on August 25th, ABeautifulSecret.com will be open for two years.

I have always had a love affair with makeup. But I didn't start off selling that online. It took me a couple of years to find my 'niche'. And I'm happy I did :)

Being as passionate as I am with makeup, I've been able to put that energy into my own site making my customers number 1. Giving my customers a chance to purchase items they want and need at a price that won't leave them broke. And being able to share my love for bargain hunting with my customers by finding those hard to find items.

So come visit me at my site and see what the Secret is all about!

"Pay It Forward" ~ Independent Sellers Resource Forum 

Building A Business Network & Support Group One Member At A Time

It took a lot of learning about selling online to get me to where I am now, I joined many forums along the way. A lot of them I left for different reasons ... either the forum closed or it was going in a different direction than I was. When the last forum I belonged to closed, the opportunity to open my own forum arose. Being me, I jumped in with both feet and haven't looked back yet.

Opening ISRF and running it daily has it's ups and downs. I enjoy it either way :) I like being able to get articles to business owners, current news circulated, advertising for members ... basically anything I can do to help other sellers. Why? Because I received so much help along the way. Why not share and empower someone else?

This is my way to 'Pay It Forward" to other sellers. Give them the information and support they need to succeed. And it feels good to help others.

ISRF celebrated it's first birthday on August 6th. And here's to celebrating many more birthdays.
