The Virginian-Pilot: via Dane’s blog
Some cute stationery and a creative edge were what Joanne Butcher needed to stay home to take care of her children and operate a full-time business.
“I wanted something with flexible hours that enabled me to be with my family,” Butcher said. “I also wanted a creative outlet.”
Butcher, 42, opened The Paper Wagon in March 2006 in her Salem Woods home by offering personalized note pads. As her business grew, she added bar/bat mitzvah invitations, birth announcements, party invitations and more recently, wedding invitations.
Butcher meets with clients in their homes and brings samples. She helps clients choose design, color and layout. She also delivers.
“Busy moms can shop at home while their toddlers are taking a nap or when the kids are at school,” Butcher said. “People love the convenience.”

Flexible hours, a good business, being able to work from home.
We could all use that type of home business action!
