In 1995 Sherri-Lyn began her career in the field of analytical chemistry with Dupont Research and Development Department. As life would have it Sherri-Lyn's life took a major turn six years ago when she gave birth to her first child Connor. Four years following Connor's arrival little Marissa made her appearance and two short years after that little Jake arrived on the scene. Needless to say, trying to balance a career and three children under six was a major challenge.
It was shortly after Marissa's arrival that Sherri-Lyn viewed a segment on Breakfast T.V. about a home based business which really peeked her interest. Sherri-Lyn thought that if she could continue to keep her fingers in the pot, (career wise, so to speak) and still be available full time for her young family, that this could be an ideal direction for her to consider.
Upon further investigation Sherri-Lyn learned more about "Wee Piggies & Paws". A franchise business founded by Debbie Cornelius, with over 70 locations throughout Canada as well as locations in the States, Mexico and the U.K. Wee Piggies & Paws is a business so unique that it has to be seen to be believed. Wee Piggies and Paws specialize in creating beautiful one-of-a-kind Shadow Boxes, Framed Impressions and LifeCast Statues of your children's precious hands and feet. The processes involved with the impressions and statues is safe and quick. We only use material that is non-toxic, made specifically for taking impressions of baby's delicate hands and feet. This molding material allows us to capture amazing detail right down to the pores of their skin. Once the statues or impressions are dry, they are mounted in Shadow boxes, and trophy or marble bases. Place a picture of your wee one inside the shadow box. Bring a poem to be printed on the back, or choose one made available to you. Your personalized and customized ideas are welcome. Unique ideas for these treasures are endless. If you don't have any children, but you have a special pet, you will be amazed how a statue, or impression of their paw print, along with their picture and a loving poem will be something you will treasure forever.
