MakingFriends.com Inc Information

My name is Terri and Im the creator of MakingFriends.com. As a child, I was a strange combination of overachieving first-born and creative rebel. I was hard working and industrious but hated structure and control. Not only did I color inside the lines but all my strokes went in the same direction with uniform pressure and perfect coverage. Yep, I filled my Disney coloring book with beautifully colored purple-faced Cinderellas and lime green Dumbos. As I got older, I spent a lot of time in Moms kitchen but not cooking.

Nothing we learned in school was interesting. Of course, this was back-in-day. We had no computer graphics or web design classes. After graduating, I ignored an academic scholarship ( Mom and Dad are still mad at me) and I accepted a trainee art position in a print shop; then later went into advertising art. I began MakingFriends.com in 1997 as a learning experience when my clients started asking for website. It has been a meandering journey that mirrors the last 20 years of my life. The web site just evolved based on what I felt like doing at the time. I guess it has been more of a frolic than a journey. Fortunately, my overachieving side came along for the ride and a dabble with new skills became a successful business. These days, Im not coloring any more (and still not cooking) but I continue to make things including web sites, kits, patches and our famous Badge in a Bag® products. Visit my personal blog MakingEnemies.com if you would like to find out more about me personally. No one likes to frolic alone and these are some of the wonderful people who have joined me along the way. Without their help and support this would have been a very boring adventure. My husband, Jim, is not only my partner in life but also ...
