Meet Amelia from Purse*nal Creations~ Interview & giveaway

GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED. WINNER ANNOUNCED MONDAY 11/30/09

Thankful November......As you may know by now, Heather and I are taking the month of November to honor the special women in our lives. Women in business who have blessed us. Some are new friends. A few we have known for many years..... today's inspirational woman in our lives is Amelia Cole from Purse*nal Creations

I have known Amelia since she was 4 years old. She has always been an exceptional girl and now an even more exceptional woman! Amelia is a 20 year old college student and the founder of Purse*nal Creations.com. She grew up in Southern California, where she was homeschooled. (Her mother is another inspirational woman in my life) Just look at how her daughter turned out!!

Enjoy our interview and giveaway!

<Donna>  What inspired you to start your company, Purse*nal Creations?

<Amelia> I was inspired to start Purse*nal Creations because I always found it difficult to find just the right purse. I thought if only there was a place that I could "build" my own purse to fit my needs. So thats how I got the idea for my business.

<Donna>  When did you learn how to sew and who taught you?

<Amelia> I learned to sew in 4H where my teacher Mrs. Schrieber taught me when I was 10 years old.

<Donna> You are a young business owner. What keeps you inspired while you are busy with College?

<Amelia> I love sewing so it is easy for me to make time for it in my busy college life. It is harder to find time for my homework then finding time to sew. :)

<Donna> Other than college and sewing~ What do you enjoy doing in your spare time...

<Amelia> Well, a new passion I have discovered has been all types of art; drawing, painting, and sculpting. 

Thank you Amelia!
