Mary Beth Reeves, Norcross, has been selected as one of the country's best 200 mompreneurs. Reeves runs Scrapbook Mamma from her home, while taking care of her quadruplet daughters.
Her company was named one of the top 200 mom-based businesses in the Leading Moms in Business competition, finishing in 23rd place, top from the state of Georgia and metro Atlanta. The contest was sponsored by Internet firms StartupNation and VerticalResponse. They report that from January through March, the public cast more than 600,000 votes for thousands of contestants before naming the winners.
In 2006, Reeves gave birth to quadruplet daughters, and "like all new parents, I was obsessed with taking pictures of my babies," she says. "And I had four of them to focus on!"
To share pictures of her children in an organized way, she created photo books as Christmas presents for family members. "People loved them," she says. "Everyone said how great it would be to have a photo book with their pictures if only someone else would do the work."
Over the next eight months, Reeves wrote a business plan, launched a website and snagged her first order.
