::Delta Girl::
In Sarah Ella’s own words… I am a southern girl who has always liked to express my roots, so distressed picture frames became my outlet.

I am a completely one woman custom frame shop! I hand-saw,hand paint and lovingly distress each and every frame up to a 20×24 in size and can match colors to your home decor,fabric or your photo.

I’m so glad to have Meg on board now. Like her, I {Darby} was raised on Shaklee vitamins and supplements and I’m grateful to have a friend who is passionate about what she gives her children, be sure to check out her Shaklee sight!
In Meg’s own words… Are you a frenzy right now with buying new shoes, clothes, and backpacks for your children or grandchildren for the new school year? But are your children really prepared? Are their bodies prepared to fight off the onslaught of yucky germs and deal with the long days of school, sports, and a new season of fun? I am a Mom who feels extremely passionate about having, knowing, and seeing healthy children and families. I feel convicted that the best way to achieve that health is with a superb diet (which we often cannot achieve and especially with our children) and safe, pure, and effective vitamin supplements. This can only be achieved with Shaklee vitamins.
Check out my website https://megsettlewingfield.myshaklee.com/us/en/about.html about getting your family on the road to great health and enjoy a more “sick-free” school year this year.
