Since 2004 we have placed our focus on jewelry design, web design and affiliate sales. Dan has been diagnosed with degenerative disk disease, osteoarthritist, asthma, and emphasema, and I myself have been having a great deal of trouble with my back and crunchy knees, (they sound like potatoe chips when I walk, LOL), we now have to look for every avenue we can find to generate an income to support our family.

The affiliate sales have been real good and we now hope to be able to purchase an RV and see some of the country with our youngest before Dan's illnesses get to a point that he can no longer travel. Dan and I have been married for 11 wonderful years and have only had a vaccation one year when we went to King's Island amusement park for the day when are two youngest were 2 and 3. Over the last 6 1/2 years since Dan injured his back, Dan and I have delivered newspapers 6 days a week, 52 weeks a year with no time off at all. Our only days off are Sundays, and the only holiday we get off is Christmas. However we do what we must to provide for our family in a world were the disabled are swept under a rug and forgotten about. Even the programs that you pay so much into so there is help for you if ever you need it, (Social Security), will not help you, so you learn ways to help yourself, and that is what we have done with all of our web sites. They are slow growing, but they keep us above water enough to get by.

So if you are an internet shopper you can help us out simply by starting your shopping trip through one of our sites. You get a large varriety of shops at your fingertips, and at the same time you help out a family strugling to survive in a world that would rather forget about them. You also will be helping us to buy that RV sooner so we can travel a little while Dan still has time. We need to leave the midwest anyway because there are way too many allergens and too much mold and it makes it hard for Dan to breath on a daily basis. So once we get an RV we are also going to look for a state where Dan can breath easier.

We have a number of web sites with many shops to shop at, from Amazon to Tiger Direct, so have a look around. Plus we sell crafts that we design and create ourselves. Our other sites are, Carmella Mae Originals, Carmella's Place, Dano's Place, The Gourd Reserve, The Dunkin Academy, Affiliate Resources R US, Daily Sales On-Line and our children are putting together their own sites as well, (They really want to travel in an RV), their sites are, Danella's Place, and Little Dan's Place.
