8. How long have you been crafting what you sell on Etsy? My love for art, and drawing and painting started in my childhood. My mom painted in oils and two of my Aunts were artists at Hallmark Cards.

When I became a single mom in the 90's I started doing craft shows and wholesale marketing, but got a "regular job" and remarried and didn't do much with it for 15 years.
