We are a family owned and operated business that started because we have been right where you are! Sitting in the stands cheering on our gymnasts for several years! Our oldest daughter retired at age 13 after competing level 8 for two years. Our youngest daughter competed to level 4 and our youngest son has decided to start competing and will begin training this summer (2010). Our oldest son has never done gymnastics but works as an assistant to the boys team at the gym. His greatest love is Tae Kwon Doe, he will earn his black belt this year.
After years of goody bags stuffed with stickers and feathery pens! sigh! I was on the look out for a more creative gymastics gift. I just love personalized things so I was searching for fun or whimsical stationary items for my girls...and not finding them...I decided to create my own!
And don't you love the name? As I was creating some card designs in the early days of our business, my oldest son, said "Mom, you should call your business "Leo-Cards"! Since we all say "leos" instead of "leo-tards" I thought it quite clever of him! So that's how we got our name. It couldn't be more perfect!
One of the first things I wanted to create was a specialized score book that would really be a keepsake of all these years that we have invested in gymnastics. Before Leo-Cards, most of my girl's scores wound up scribbled on the back of receipts and stuffed into my purse or camera bag. Or, maybe it actually did get written in the program that I bought for such things, but that was usually found weeks after a meet crammed under the car seat covered in crumbs! There had to be a better way!!
We are also a homeschooling family. I like to encourage my children to write personal notes to family and friends and it is so much more fun with personalized note cards! (My boys are ready for Karate-cards and camo-cards...that's on my list of things to do)
We call home, the beautiful foot hills of the Appalachian Mountains in North Georgia. We've moved north out of Atlanta a few times now...we like a quieter life, children romping in the woods and through the creek! (and of course 16 hours a week flip-flopping all around the gym!)
Creating Leo-Cards has been an immense pleasure! We hope our products will not only make you smile but will help you to remember in a very special way this wonderful sport and this wonderful time in your child's life! Thanks for checking us out and please be sure to share us with your friends!
Happy Handstands!
The Leo-Cards Family
PS... To my tech guy (my dear husband) I owe so much praise and gratitude! Without his help there would be no Leo-Cards!
