I am a stay-at-home mom to two daughters, Lauren and Rachel. It's great to be able to stay at home, but I needed SOMETHING to do (other than clean toilets and do laundry!). A few years ago, I saw a picture of a "Snowman Patio Paver" in a magazine. After some research, I found a site that had patterns and thought I'd give it a try. Just something to try as a hobby...After I posted a picture of my f
irst Ladybug, my mom said she'd like one, then my aunts, then a few friends...! As word-of-mouth spread, we started getting orders. We had our first craft booth in Meredosia, IL at the Fall Festival and did really well! I am excited, humbled and sorta shocked! So I chose "LA-LA's Ladybugs and Buddies" as a name. My nieces and nephew have called me Aunt La-La since they were little, thought that would be kinda cute! As for Buddies...I plan to add more critters to my yard art collection. We made pumpkins and bats for fall, snowmen, penguins, gingerbread men and Santa Clause for Christmas and we are adding to the spring pavers. Our Cardinal Pal was a big hit, thanks to the St. Louis Cardinals being World Champions! Stay posted...and most of all, THANK YOU to everyone for your support, encouragement and love!!
