My name is Nancy Alexander - a "Southern Girl" born and raised in Anderson, South Carolina. I am an artisan, dreamer, floral and interior designer, entrepreneur, and a lover of nature. I have been named; a world-renowned wreath-maker... because, I have a gift of making uniquely different and beautiful wreaths! I have been blessed with many "artsy" and "creative" talents. I’m also blessed to have married the man of my dreams, my true-love, Stephen, forty-one years ago. I am totally in love with God, my husband, and my family of two strong, Christian young men, their beautiful wives, and four "amazing grandchildren"! I found my passion and talent designing & making floral designs & wreaths almost thirty years ago. I was the owner of an upscale, silk, floral and design business in my hometown. It was "the place to shop" for uniquely different designs, gifts, antiques, and gently used furniture as well as outdoor accessories. This business expanded into multiple locations with many employees. While running the business of my dreams, which I finally had to close, I was fighting a debilitating, chronic illness. I am now an overcomer of Fibromyalgia and Celiac. I was broken and put back together by God in a beautiful way - a way that I never could have imagined as I now enjoy teaching others to make and sell wreaths on the Internet. I do this through my DVDs, downloadable videos, workshops, books and so much more. Anything made with your own hands is an exciting and fulfilling hobby! And...if you are fighting a chronic illness, this can be the gift that brings joy, excitement, and dreams back into your life again. Through Ladybug Wreaths, Ladybug Certified, and Best of Nancy, I consider myself so blessed to be able to make such a difference in the lives of others. I teach a hobby or business that can give you a reason to get out of bed in the morning; one that wakes you up with such a start of anticipation that you just cannot lie in bed. YOU CAN DO THIS - has been my slogan! Even in my weakest, darkest times, I could find a few minutes, then a few hours, and then even days when I could get my mind on something fun and exciting, which then made the energy flow! Yes, Yes, YOU certainly CAN do this too! Philippians 4:13 says: "I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me". And, thanks to "Him" I finally can!
