The His/Her perspective of working with your husband

Me and James

James' first CHA with Tattered Angels

Hi everyone.....this is James, Liz' husband. I was intrigued by the question of "what is it like to work with your spouse?"
I couldn't be more excited to work with Liz on a daily basis! The biggest reason is because she is my best friend and work is always so much better when you have someone there that truly cares about you. She is also so knowledgeable within the industry and I have learned so much from her!
It is a bit difficult sometimes having to put on the "office politics" hat but we do well and Liz is an amazing woman and she is capable of so much!
So I am proud to call Liz my wife, my best friend and my co-worker.


From Liz---- I also really liked this question. James is a character to be around. He has a personality that is infectious and appreciated by all in the office. He is also a VERY GOOD practical joker, our friends STILL talk about all of his April 1st antics (although, they got him in the end... hence his sparkly keys). We always have to keep our "corporate caps" on and sometimes, our ideas are not so "eye to eye" but our vision and our heart for the company are one in the same so rarely do we differ from each other.



At the end of the day... what matters the most is our family... We work for the betterment of our children and that not only they are provided for, but that they have an idea of what a responsible adult is. It is so difficult to leave these kids in the morning, and it is only this season that we both have to... but in the future, I know our kids will look back and know that both James and I are doing what is necessary at this moment for our family's success and future...

I LOVE working with James... I agree with him in that working together is great. I wouldn't want anyone else side by side with me :)

Thanks so much for the GREAT questions... I am looking forward to having something to blog about now!

♥ Tattered James ♥

Last week I introduced you all to Rachel our newest employee over at Tattered Angels and her weekly segment called "Tattered Tuesday".

Well this weeks employee is none other than my James♥


James joined the Tattered Angels staff a few months after I did. After being a stay at home mom for 8 years, it was so very comforting to have my husband by my side as I took on the role of working mom. Being able to see my sweet husband everyday at work makes the days go by quickly :)

I am so proud to work side by side with James. Being able to see first hand (and experience it too!) all of the hard work and sacrifices he has endured to provide for our family makes me appreciate him so much more.

So if you get a chance, check out his tips and techniques over on Rachels blog. He recently took my Glimmer Mist 101 class, and I have to tell you there is nothing cuter than your husband sitting down and falling in love with Glimmer Mist while he creates.

James is going to start taking over the traveling in the family. I have had fun getting to travel around and meeting some very fun crafters, but I need to be with my kids this year. Last year we had family to help us out while I traveled, but being in Colorado by ourselves doesn't give us the same freedoms. I will still do a few shows here and there but not nearly as much as I did last year. Our kids are still young, and these next few years are crucial. I want to take full advantage of being with them while I can :)

I can't wait to see what fun adventures James and the Tattered Angels team has this season. If you would like to keep up with them on Twitter or Facebook check out the links below.
