Rotary Cutter by Evergreen Art Supply
I do a lot of crafts and just about every one of them include cutting something, whether it be paper or material. This rotary cutter has been a God send to me. Old fashion scissors takes so much time and a lot of the time it causes trouble as well. With the rotary cutter I can actually see the lines I am cutting on. The material is laid flat not bent of the scissor blades. The blade is super sharp and cuts everything I want to cut even some thin leather. I did buy extra blades and marked them for different materials and one for paper. I just bought the generic ones at our local craft store and they fit perfectly. Blades are changed easily in this cutter. I like that this has a blade lock button on the handle just in case one of my Grand Kids were to come over and find it laying in my craft room. I like the easy of the trigger handle when cutting. I don't have to wear out my hand to keep the blade pushed out to cut. The handle fits well and is comfortable in my hand.

Pet Grooming Massage Bathing Gloves,Bonus & Portable Pet Bowl by QUIET
At the moment I have 5 dogs and 4 cats. My Daughter is in the process of moving so I have her animals here until their yard can be fenced in and the moving and renovations are complete. Which will hopefully be very soon. My 2 dogs make enough fur for me. With all the animals here I am cleaning the floors and furniture 2 or 3 times a day I feel like that is all i do. When I ran across this Pet grooming glove I jumped at it. Now i can set and pet the animals and make my life easier at the same time. The pets love the attention they are getting with this super nice glove. it does not pull their hair but it does grab all the loose hair and gently gathers it into the glove. The glove is easily cleaned, I have actually been using a small electric broom to suck the hair off the glove. It is working well and my floors and furniture are no where near as fully as they were. This also comes with a really nice collapsible water/food bowl.

TeamRC® Super Fast Drift King R/C Sports Car
I'm not positive but I think My Daughter and Son In Law had more fun playing with this car then my Grand Kids. The car goes super fast and drift. It comes with a 2nd set of wheels. The car has blue lights underneath of it. It has headlights and back up lights. When backing up the reverse lights come on automatically. We had a lot of fun watching it slide around the floor. The car runs on 4 AAA batteries which are not included and the remote runs on 2 AA batteries which are also not included. The car is 1:24 model it is about 7 1/2 inches long. The flashy red and silver paint looks great with the blue lights from underneath. This would make a great gift for any kid from about 4 and up. Like I said even the adults were having a load of fun playing with it.

PowerTRC® Small Binder 3/4" Clips, Black
These clips are great for more then just paper. I do a lot of crafts. A lot of those crafts consist or gluing things together. These clips are great for holding the pieces together until the glue is dry. They also work great for holding small items to be painted in my crafting. I get to keep the paint off my fingers too. The clips are the small 3/4 inch clips. They work great for organizing papers too. There are 12 boxes of 12 for a total f 144 clips in the set. More then enough for what I am doing with them but The packages are small enough to not take up a ton of room.

Q & A With Felena Hanson
There are many books out there about….What makes yours different?
Yes, there are many “how to launch a business” books on the market but mine is unique for several reasons
- It has relatable stories of women who have come through challenging situations to make their dreams a reality
- It gives the reader a step-by-step action plan to bring business to life. It’s inspiration, tools, and education all rolled into one.
What are some of the signs that someone may be ready to become and entrepreneur?
1. You feel stuck. You've hit a wall and are no longer fulfilled by your job.
2. The light bulb came on and stayed on. One day you're in your kitchen, or more likely the shower, and you conjure up an unmet need. You keep working it over in your mind and even start obsessing about it. You can't let it go!
3. You’re passionate. It's not just a good idea; it's what you feel you were put on this earth to do! You start to tell everyone you know—even your mother-in-law! You want to build your dream!
4. You’re independent. You would rather blaze your own trail rather than following the herd. You've always been the girl that zigged when others zagged.
5. You’re motivated. You're willing to work nights and weekends on your idea.
6. You're disciplined. You're the one who follows through with your New Year’s resolutions through 12/31.
7. You’re organized. You color code your calendar - every color has meaning!
What’s the most courageous thing you’ve ever done?
I wanted to build something that was bigger than myself. In my prior business (doing marketing strategy consulting for small businesses) I was trading time for dollars. It’s the classic “eMyth” scenario (book by Michael Gerber). My goal is to support over 20,000 women in the launch and growth of their business. We’re doing this by connecting with amazing women throughout the world who want to use our model to build their own business and a strong platform for female entrepreneurship in their city.
Any hobbies? or Name a quirky thing you like to do.
Other than running my business I love drinking strong black coffee, running with my two dogs, and sipping a good Malbec (typically in that order). I also LOVE to travel. Thus far I’ve been to 23 countries and have another 50 on my bucket list.
What was the process of writing your book?
The book has three distinctive sections
- My story and journey to entrepreneurship
- Advice from six women and short stories of the “lean out moment” for an additional dozen women
- A practical step by step process to launch a business
For section one I started with filming my life story via eight hours of video. I then had that transcribed and worked with a book coach to help me turn the timeline into a story. This process took almost a year because I only had a few days per month to write.
The second part of the book was mostly coordination and interviews, which I had my book coach assist me with. I wanted to be sure to bring in other perspectives and tangible examples.
The final part of the book is backed up by an online platform, which is a 17 step process to launch a business. This I also back up with video content and significant online resources. This was also took me about a year to compile and build. Again, I had help.
I couldn’t have completed the book without significant support from the Hera Hub community… it takes a village to raise a book!
