My mom & I started Country Spunk in 2018. We had six really great and fun years working together, and we almost always donated more than we brought in, but every minute together was worth it. I lost her October 2024 to a crazy fast triple threat of cancer that came out of nowhere. She came up with the name Country Spunk, so I am keeping that in her honor.
I am moving on to writing, creating illustrations, and independently publishing books as CS Publishing, thanks to my dear friend and author Patty Wiseman. I am glad to say my mom got to see the beginning of the first book I illustrated for her.
I am even prouder to say, after moms passing we donated over 6 thousand dollars worth of clothing, furniture, and home items to Hopes Closet, a charity for the Women's Shelter in Longview, Texas. I know she was smiling from up above.
