Toni Sikes
 Toni Sikes loved her job of connecting fine artists to customers, but after 22
years, she recently left it. She founded The Guild, Inc., and The Artful
Home---successful businesses that employed nearly 60 people and represented more
than 1,000 artists. Now she has turned over the day-to-day work to others and is
exploring other dreams and opportunities. As far as Toni is concerned,
she's just getting started...all over again.

Laura Zeck
 It sometimes takes an artist to see the good in an awful lot of bad. Five years
ago, Laura and her husband saw potential in a decrepit, derelict Seattle,
Washington house. The once-stately home had been through a lot, and Laura and
her family went through the same in bringing it back to what it once was. Though
her story has a happy conclusion, the ending might surprise you.

Betty Lee

The amazing thing is that Betty has been able to lay out her dreams in a mere third of an acre that changes shape according to her desires and the season.
