Welcome to The Dogwood Effect. We would like to invite you on this journey with us. This life is crazy busy as we both work full time, we have 8 children ranging from 7 years old to 23 years old, and one of us goes to college. Some ask us, why do you do The Dogwood Effect also? How do you even have time for it? I would like to take this time to share the beginning and the NOW with you all.
THE BEGINNING:
In 2020, I (Rebecca) lost my dad, my mom, and my shortly after I lost my grandmother. I had a lot of time off work for bereavement, during that time my son also got COVID and we were quarantined. Needless to say, that caused my mind to wonder and the depression from all the recent events started to settle in. I started to craft using my cricut and sewing machine. I had been looking into some laser machines and thought about them for several months before this all happened. Well, the opportunity presented itself to get one and I prayed about it. I presented the pros and cons to my boyfriend and he agreed that we should go for it. So WE DID JUST THAT!! By March of 2021 our machines arrived. What started off as a hobby, took off and before we knew it, we needed a NAME. The Dogwood Effect was chosen because of our love for the LORD.Our Savior was said to be crucified on a DOGWOOD tree and since our business deals mostly with WOOD, it was only fitting that we chose that name. Shortly after, our first logo was born.
THE NOW:
So much has happened since we started this new hobby. We have sold two houses, packed up and move four houses, bought a home together, and GOT MARRIED!! After our wedding we came out of hiding and needless to say, we had a Christmas season for the books! Now we are taking even more chances. We are investing in more equipment, advertisement, websites, and so much more. We only ask that you stay tuned.
