Hey all! If you know my mom at all you know how crazy talented she is: drawing, baking, cooking…

If you know her you’d also know that she launched her small biz Crumbs and Crayons a few years ago after discovering her knack for illustrating. Through her journey she had a lot of questions none of us, her family, could answer. Business questions, copyright questions, legal questions, branding questions…

Enter Holly Conger. The greatest thing to happen to my mother since my father. Holly is a pretty big time illustrator herself having her drawings being sold to the likes of IKEA, WalMart, different magazines, etc. Holly, however, decided to finally take a maternity leave after constantly working since she had her children. She separated herself from her business and the social media world. When she came back, she offered a limited number of spots to those looking to bust into the illustrating game. Here, Holly would teach and guide each person in their own business and eventually promote them. And my momma got one of those spots.

For the last several weeks, my mom has learned how to brand herself, how to build a website, and how to get LinkedIn. Holly has helped my mom grow in places we couldn’t help her grow.

So, I invite you to visit my mom’s new site! Goodbye Crumbs and Crayons hello Charlotte Taylor Creates! Here you’ll find her portfolio, new illustrations, her blog, and her ever so famous Free Recipe Friday. Jason and I helped her put it together while she paid me in colored jeans. Hip hip hooray!
