Hi Peggy,

Thanks so much for sharing the news about “Birthing the
Elephant” with creative crafters doing such lovely work!
I know that combining artwork and the business end
of a start-up can be very exciting but challenging as well.
Understanding what some of the predictable problems
and pitfalls are during a start-up can be really take some
of the stress out of the process and make it more fun.
That’s one of the reasons “Birthing the Elephant” was
written: to give women an emotional road map to
getting their ventures off the ground. All the best
with your artistic endeavors!
