Body = LEESBURG,VA—When Michelle Aarnes and her husband decided
to
start a family, Aarnes knew she wanted to work from home. The thought
of leaving a newborn in someone else’s care was unbearable.
And as a former Sales Assistant who had worked twelve years for
a well-known financial management company, sales – which might
seem daunting to other prospective entrepreneurs – seemed
natural to Aarnes.
She was uninterested
in the usual mass-marketed household or beauty direct sales products,
however, and in working to earn another company profits. Instead,
being the self-starter she is, Michelle chose to focus her creative
energy on handmade, custom jewelry that she designed and produced
herself.
“When
I started to make jewelry for myself, my daughter, my family and
friends, I knew I had found my niche,” Aarnes recalls. “Everywhere
we went, someone would ask
where they could buy the kind of bracelets we were wearing.”
Receiving such positive comments about the jewelry inspired Michelle
to open her own online store, DoodleBug Creations, in April 2002.
Her unique line of specialized mother's and grandmother's
bracelets soon grew to include customized baby jewelry, much to
the delight of her customers, many of whom chose Aarnes’ creations
knowing they would become cherished possessions.
At the same
time, Ms. Aarnes realized that children with medical conditions
such as diabetes, or severe allergies to certain medicines or foods,
often refuse to wear
traditional medical alert bracelets because they aren’t attractive
or trendy enough. So she designed a line of unique, engraved, medical
alert bracelets that are fashionable, fun, and chic. And as a way
to help support the search for a permanent
cure for juvenile diabetes, $5 for every diabetes bracelet designed
is donated to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. It’s
Aarnes’ way of giving back to her
community.
After relocating
to Virginia in April of this year, Aarnes now hopes to reach out
to her new community by offering unique fundraising opportunities
for women’s shelters,
survivor groups, and other organizations that support women and
children. “I’m anxious to contribute my talents and
become involved with community non-profits and business associations,”
she says. Her past successes inspire this work-at-home mom to continue
to achieve her goals.
