CraftSanity #154: 2.8.15 Jacob Vroon and Elyse Marie Welcher

Born a day apart, Jacob Vroon and Elyse Marie Welcher crossed paths for the first time in the Butterworth Hospital nursery in June of 1988, completely oblivious to each other. It would be 23 years before the two Geminis would actually meet when they reported for their first day of work at the Buckle at Woodland Mall. He was the freight guy and she was the seamstress. And when they were introduced, the manager suggested they talk because they both made leather bags. They ended up inspiring each other to greatness, but not without a few twists in the story.
