 Hi! My name is Channa... pronounced "Sh"anna, rhymes with banana.... :) I am a stay-at-home mom of six children, ages 2 through 14, and have been happily married for over 15 years to my best friend. (Picture is from Nov '07.) I love weight-lifting and cardio, and I'm up at 4:30 a.m. Mon-Fri to be at the gym (and sometimes I go again later that night). I also enjoy family outings, game nights, cooking and baking, music, volleyball, playing the piano, Facebook, reading and collecting books, making jewelry, and of course.... making plaques! I started making plaques in 2007 just for fun, with a small eBay customer base. Thanks to Elizabeth McLaughlin (LIW), to whom I am eternally grateful, I have the opportunity to work daily with a wonderful clientele, which I enjoy very much! I try my best to reply to your emails in a timely manner. However, if I don't get back to you immediately, you can bet I am either at the grocery store, at the school, helping a child with their homework, at the gym, at a Boy Scouts meeting, picking a child up from sports practice, at a child's game, in a parent-teacher conference, taking a child to church youth group activities, taking a child to Boy Scouts, taking a child to Cub Scouts, attending other church activities, watching a child perform in a school band concert, taking a child to a doctor or dentist appointment, cleaning my house, making dinner, on a much-needed date with my husband, outside cutting, sanding, or painting boards........ or I might just take a few minutes to read a book with my 2-year old, who is home with me while the other siblings are in school. :)
I usually create proofs late at night, when all the kids are in bed and I have quiet time to myself. If you receive emails on your Blackberry, and you live in New York, don't be annoyed when your phone wakes you up with an email from me at 1 or 2 a.m. your time!!! :) I try not to work on Saturday, so I can spend time with my family, and I don't work on Sunday at all, because that is the day of rest.
I have enjoyed meeting many wonderful people so far, and I look forward to working with you!
~Channa :)
