Hi Doris; I wouldn't partner with her. Like it was mentioned....could wreck a good friendship, your work habits and time may not be the same, etc. I just wouldn't do it. My girl friend and I tried to work together at the beginning. We had the idea to share costs and sales. But after about a month, I couldn't work with her any longer. She was too messy for me. I like to clean up as I go. Something that should of only took an hour to finish, took three hours. I can't spend my time like that. Now, she has her own business name, and I have mine. She makes and sells bath products. I make and sell candles. We do craft shows and home shows together. We brainstorm together also. I also give her 25% of the retail on my candles when she gets an order for me. We have this in writing and signed by both of us. Anyway...good luck in your decision.
