These were huge quality-of-life improvements. And the attitude of maintenance in doing these projects has been a 'whatever-it-takes' attitude, which is so appreciated.

I think I've gleaned that the most we need to work on is the quality of life, projects that make it better to live here. From health care to recreation to the retail section to elderly care. We've kind of quit chasing new companies. We're fully employed. We've taken care of so much, so fast, that what's left is real hard.

The products are easy to do and produce quality projects. An easy-to-follow project guide and just the right color palette comes with every activity, to make crafting simple and successful for anyone, even those who don't think they are creative. The idea is for families to focus on the fun of creating a keepsake together.

These are great players and high-quality guys, too. It's a refreshing attitude. ... Looking back, (hiring Howland) couldn't have worked out more beautifully.

We love the quality and feel of the Professional Building. It projects the image and confidence we feel DuBois, DuBois and Bates and DuBois Closing and Title Services Inc. have earned from our clients.

My daughters really enjoy the projects, and I like that we spend quality time together.
