Founder
Hi and Welcome to The Snooty Woman's Club.
President and Founder: Dianne Wood
My Story.......
I created this club as a place for creative and talented women like you to gather and connect in all aspects of Everyday Life....Being a business for more than 30 years, I've learned so much through MY Experiences I want to SHARE them with YOU...:)
I LOVE being surrounded by beautiful things... and having wonderful friends and family to share them with. I usually won't settle for average. I always strive for THE BEST...!!! And YOU should too. I'm here to Inspire and Guide You and help you reach out and acheive YOUR DREAMS....:)
Honesty and Integrity are so very important to me. I believe in treating others with respect and kindness. And this is how I've built my business, along with a dose of creativity.
I love sharing with others my experiences and knowledge in hopes of helping them find a way to create their own business or grow the one they have. Through all the years of being in business, there was NEVER anyone that I could turn to for help or direction. I had to learn everything on my own...!!!
I believe that we ALL deserve a chance to make a better life for ourselves and our families. And sometimes we just need a place to chat with someone who shares the same desires and needs. Someone who understands where you are and to know that we are not alone.
At The Snooty Womans Club, I hope you will find all this and more. I invite you to join our wonderful group of gals and get to know everyone at The Club...
So what makes ME the expert here....:) First and foremost, I DO NOT claim to be an expert at anything. I do claim however, the fact that I have been down the road of "hard knocks", finding success and sometimes losing it...having my world crash down around me...but getting right back up to take off running again. One day I"ll share my "hardships" with you so you can see for yourself how "believing in yourself" pays off and keeps you on the road to Big Success....:)
Until then, I want to share with you a few of my Proudest Moments...Accomplishmets..and Opportunities that I have experienced through my years of doing business.
My first attempt at business was opening a local gift shop. And as what happens so many times, the one thing that you are NOT selling turns out to be what ultimately becomes your business. I made some pretty "ruffled curtains" with thick full ruffles for the windows in my shop and after tuning down "many" request from customers wanting me to make some for them, I soon realized that THIS is where I could make the most of my business. So "Ruffled Curtains" and other custom home decor items kept us busy for about 13 years...
Wanting to step into another field where I could expand on my creativity, I designed a few women's jumpers and took them to a craft show. Now, I only had THREE JUMPER samples with me. I just set them up and hoped to take orders. WOW...and take orders, I did..:) This led me to another huge business arena being discoverd by some clothing sales reps who put me in their showrooms and landing MY Designs in Speciality Boutiques...Department Stores and Catalogs nationwide. This kept us busy for another 13 years...and by then boredom set in and my creative voice started looking for yet another playing field.
Scrapbooking was becoming HOT so I sat down and created an entire line of stickers, etc. and took them to the BIG WHOLESALE SHOW where all the BUYERS come to place orders for their stores. While there, I was approached by one of the Big Boy Companies....Sandy Lion Sticker Designs...who wanted me to contract with them as a "licensed artist" and work exclusively for them. I was "floating". However,don't be "fooled" by the "Big Boys". Although I was published by them and was a "guest artist" at one of their trade shows, this contract left me very bitter and completely broke my spirit. More on that one day too...:)
Next came my little Cocoa Cone...and the rest, as they say, is history..:)
We are currently producing product for the gourmet food industry. I now design, market and produce a fun, fresh line of products that are sold in stores and shops across America.
Some of our clients are....Walt Disney World...Home Goods...TJMax....Marshalls...Michael's Arts and Craft Stores...The Biltmore House...The Paper Store...Swoozies...Dollywood...Gooseberry Patch...and SO many more...:)
How fun it is to go into one of these retailers and see YOUR product there on their shelves. We have worked very hard for our success and we've had our share of failures too. It's been quite a journey and one that I am so very proud of....To look back and say....
Wow...Look what I did....Yes, I Really did that....:)
I hope I've inspiried you a little to step out and take a leap of faith.
Go for YOUR DREAMS....Make them happen. I did and you can too....
