A lot of your products are U.P.-based, but you also<br />

have expanded, right?<br />

JB: The U.P. is limiting so that’s why I’ve branched out designing<br />

the kayak, the skiis and even the full Great Lakes.<br />

SW: As far as our online orders, we get orders from all over; it’s not<br />

just the U.P. We’ve even shipped to Finland. We’ve had to get a little<br />

bit out of the box of the U.P. You have to push it; you have to push the<br />

reach. You can’t just build it and they will come.<br />

So, there is a lot more to this than just the designing?<br />

JB: Our goal was to build it, and work as hard as we can to afford to<br />

bring in staff so they can do the filling of orders. We’re still working on<br />

the infrastructure and the website, but the designing is the fun part.<br />

SW: The designing is a lot of fun.<br />

JB: And we keep coming up with different designs. Stacey will<br />

message me and say, “What do you think of this design?”<br />

SW: I had my own jewelry that I was doing prior to Jackie, using<br />

gemstones and wire wrapping, that kind of thing, too.<br />

Beyond a business partnership, this appears to offer<br />

some creative satisfaction as well?<br />

SW: I do what I do because I love it. I love my job. I feel like I have<br />

been totally blessed to be able to help people with the creative process. I<br />

love doing what I do.<br />

JB: I’ve always been crafty in some capacity; this just kind of had its<br />

natural progression into another realm, and it took off. But in order<br />

to bring it to the next level, I realized it wasn’t going to happen unless I<br />

partnered with someone else who had the same creative end drive that<br />

I have.<br />
