Recently we were blessed with a trip to South Korea. While there, Addie was referred to as an "Angel among us."
As a way to help her spread the love she shows everyone, our family has started a business to share that love with your family and friends. We are burning, cutting, customizing wood pieces for charcuterie boards, signs, Christmas Ornaments, etc.
