to my store.  I hope that you don’t mind that we didn’t tell you who we were at the outset.  Part of the reason was my girls wanted a chance to succeed or fail on their own merits without the benefits of their mother’s name.  I am so very proud of them both.

Earlier this year, my two youngest daughters and I began working together as a small freelance design studio.  The oldest of my children by birth, Jennifer, is quite gifted in graphic design and beading.  She uses those skills in designing marketing materials and newsletters as part of her “day job.”  Both of the girls have developed a rather keen eye for design and have always been behind the scenes giving their input in my product development work — especially as it relates to the younger market.  My youngest, Jacqui, came up with the studio name based on the middle names of the other two siblings that aren’t involved… from this beginning came Abigail Scott DESIGN Studios.

It has been fun to work together with them on projects totally different from my norm.  Most times we’ve talked over the concepts and picked art together and then I usually actually create the kits.  Both of them have the gift of art direction and love to boss their mom around :-) !  One of the most fun parts for me has been to work with artwork that is so totally different from my own that I could never have created it myself.  I’ve had the privilege of working with whimsical, contemporary and elegant art from the many quality artists at the Daisie Company. It has been a true joy.

The Abigail Scott DESIGN Studio kits that were designed with Audrey Jeanne’s Expressions art will be coming to this store soon, those that were designed with art besides my own will not be able to be brought here.  So stay tuned and see what our Design Studio will bring next!

I LOVE it!!! I was so impressed with one of their products over at DAISIE that I tried to google Abigail Scott, and all I came up with was that she was a self taught school teacher that went to Oregon in 1852 and she was a women´s rights activist…
Well… I certaninly got a good laugh out of it. =)

Congratulations!!!
