Ribbon Cutting

When we (RoseAnn, Deanna & Tonya) decided to start Captivating Impressions, alot of thought and discussions went in it. RoseAnn (mom) had just married both daughters off, within five months of each other, and she knew that we would soon be starting families of our own. We were fortunate that we had a mom that was able to be with us until we were in school full-time. And it was important for Deanna and myself to be able to do the same for our kids.

Starting this company was a big step. And it's been a fantastic one. Deanna and RoseAnn worked hard and spent a lot of time getting this great company off the ground. I did what I could, from whatever coast I lived on. My main job was the website, and I enjoyed it. They had to do all the grunt work. And it has certainly paid off. We have seen Captivating Impressions grow from a few clients, to many many loyal clients and friends.

So, this summer we finally had a ribbon cutting ceremony for Captivating Impressions. And it's amazing to see where we have been and where we are going. When we started, it was three women starting something new both professionally and personally. There were bumps along the way, but it was nothing we couldn't overcome. And now, we are three women who have grown professionally and personally. So, we felt extremely lucky that our children were able to attend the ribbon cutting with us, because, afterall, they are part of the reason we started.
