Contestant's Case to Win

This is based on the number of votes received.
Simply faBOWlous® began with a mom's need for organization. In 2006, Co-Founder, Cheri White, started designing unique hair bow holders to turn her little girl's hair bow collection into a chic work of art, while putting an end to cluttered drawers and lost or damaged hair bows. She soon started taking request from friends and family... and Simply faBOWlous® was born.

In 2007, Simply faBOWlous® grew into a nationwide company selling products on-line at faBOWlous.com and servicing upscale boutiques across the nation and in a few countries around the world.

By the end of 2008 the company had grown by 400% from the previous year!!!

While this company was growing by leaps and bounds Cheri was also at home taking care of her 2 children and working part time for Parents as Teachers helping to educate other parents & children in the community...and who says mom's aren't ALL STARS at multi-tasking!!!

I have nominated Cheri and her company for this because now she is now faced with the decision of having to meet new strict government standards (which could cost her business thousands of dollars) or close down her business. She is working effortlessly to try to figure out the new CPSIA standards and save a business that started from nothing and has grown nationwide in only a few short years.
