IDEAS.
LAZY LAKE DAYS ARE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER AND AND LAKE
WINNIPESAUKEE ISN'T JUST HOME AND HER IDEA FOR A BUSINESS IS
WINTER.
>> I HAVE A CANNOTAGE AT LAKE WINNIPESAUKEE AND I GET
FIREWOOD OR WALK THE DOG AND I HAVE TO TAKE THEM OFF BECAUSE
THEY ARE TOO THICK AND I WAS FRUSTRATED AND HAS TO BE A
BETTER WAY.
>> SHE CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION THAT INCLUDES THE THICK COZY
SOCKS.
WHERE ARE YOU HAVE A MAGNET HERE AND COMES WITH A SOLE AND WANT
TO GO OUTSIDE AND STEP OUT AND IT STRETCHES AND IT SLIPS IN AND
GO OUT AND STEP ON IT AND RELEASES.
>> THE SOCKS COME IN A VARIETY OF STYLES AND SIZES AND PEOPLE
CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF HER BRIGHT IDEA.
>> PEOPLE ARE DROPPING AND SAYING, I GET IT.
I HAVE TO WALK THE DOG.
AND I WANTED IT FOR MYSELF BUT IT WAS A WIDE RANGE AND EVERYONE
WHO WANTS TO BE COZY.
>> SHARING HER SOCKS WITH CUSTOMERS IS ALWAYS GRAT FILING
BUT HER ABILITY TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY AND MOST REWARDING
PARTS OF HER BRIGHT IDEA.
>> I KNEW WHEN I CAME UP WITH IT, I WANTED TO GIVE BACK TO
WINNIPESAUKEE AND THE COMMUNITY.
I HAD THIS IDEA AND SENDING CHILDREN TO CAMP AND I HAVE TO
SAY WHEN I SAW THOSE TWO CHILDREN COMING TO CAMP AND MOST
REWARDING TO KNOW THAT I'M ABLE TO GIVE BACK.
>> FOR ART TEACHER AND FIRE CAPTAIN LAKE WINNIPESAUKEE IS
WHERE THEY GO WITH THEIR FAMILY TO UNWIND.
>> I WAS LOOKING FOR GIFT FOR JOHN'S OLDEST DAUGHTER FOR
CHRISTMAS AND I WANTED TO GET HER SOMETHING THAT REPRESENTED
LAKE WINNIPESAUKEE AND I LOOKED FOR SOME PIECE OF JEWELRY AND I
COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING.
I WANTED SOMETHING SHE COULD WEAR IN THE WATER AND ON THE
BOAT AND THERE WASN'T ANYTHING OUT THERE LIKE THAT.
JOHN IS SO AMBITIOUS AND HE SAID WHY DON'T WE MAKE A PIECE OF
JEWELRY TO REPRESENT THE LAKE AND WE STARTED SKETCHING.
>> THE DESIGN IS A SIMPLE AND ELEGANT WATER DROPLET, THEY KNEW
IT WOULD BE MORE THAN A BIRTHDAY GIFT AND GIVE BACK TO A CAUSE
THEY ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT.
>> WE CAME UP WITH A DESIGN AND WE SAID THIS IS HOW WE ARE GOING
TO MAKE A WISH FIT INTO OUR LIVES.
WATER REPRESENTS BEAUTY, AND RESILIENCE.
>> DIANA AND JOHN KNEW THEY HAD A GOOD IDEA, BUT THAT WAS JUST
THE BEGINNING.
>> THAT WAS THE FIRST DAY IN THE KITCHEN AND HE SAID LET'S MAKE A
DIFFERENCE AND HE SAID HOW?
AND I SAID LET'S START AND BRING IT TO FRUITION INSTEAD --
EVERYONE HAS A GOOD IDEA.
BUT IT'S A MATTER OF FOLLOWING THROUGH WITH IT AND WE DID IT
AND WE HAD A LOT OF PASSION BEHIND IT.
>> SINCE THE FIRST SKETCH, THE BUSINESS HAS BOOMED.
THE BRACELETS OFFERS NECK LACES AND EARRINGS AND THEY HAVE BEEN
SPOTTED ON PAGEANT CONTESTANTS AND TV PER NATIONALITIES AND
MORE.
>> IT'S A WIN-WIN FOR EVERYBODY.
EVERYONE GETS SOLID STERLING SILVER AND HELPS OUR BUSINESS
AND WE GIVE AR PERCENTAGE TO ALL SALES TO MAKE A WISH.
>> KATHLEEN'S BRIGHT IDEA WAS INSPIRED BY AN OLD LAKE GAME.
>> LAST AUGUST, I WAS SITTING ON MY COUCH JUST LOOKING AT
FACEBOOK AND I FOUND A POST FROM A GROUP CALLED EVERYTHING
WINNIPESAUKEE AND THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS GAME THAT
USED TO BE AROUND THE LAKE AND IT POPPED INTO MY HEAD AND I
SAID WOULDN'T IT BE COOL TO HAVE PROPERTIES AROUND THE LAKE.
>> KATHLEEN OWNS THREE GIFT SHOPS AND GOT ON THE PHONE WITH
HER LOCAL CONTACTS TO START FILLING UP PROPERTIES FOR HER
NEW GAME.
>> EVERY MORNING WHEN I WOULD SIT WITH MY COFFEE, I WOULD
EMAIL OUT TO BUSINESSES THAT I THE GAME BASED ON CUSTOMERS
COMING INTO MY STORE OR DOING GOOD THINGS IN THE COMMUNITY AND
I THOUGHT PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM AND LAND ON THEM.
>> THE RESPONSE WAS AMAZING.
EVERYONE WANTED A SPOT ON THE BOARD.
>> WHEN YOU START THE GAME AND YOU ARE AT THE YUM-YUM SHOP AND
GO AROUND AND END UP ON BOARDWALK.
>> WHO BETTER TO BE ON BOARDWALK.
YOU GO TO THE LOONY BAR AND GRILL.
>> WE REACHED OUT TO THE WINNIPESAUKEE AND WHERE WE HAVE
A STORE.
THERE IS MOLLY THE TROLLEY.
AND I JUST INCORPORATED EVERYTHING.
>> KATHLEEN STARTED WITH AN OSHED OF 500 BOARDS AND SOLD OUT
IN 12 HOURS.
>> WHAT IS FUN, ALL THE PEOPLE ARE SENDING PICTURES OF PEOPLE
PLAYING IT.
AND SUNDAY MORNING WITH THEIR MOMOSAS.
AND GETTING THE PICTURES FROM THE PEOPLE PLAYING IS REALLY
FUN.
>> KATHLEEN SAYS THE PROCESS WAS SO REWARDING AND MIGHT TRY HER
HAND AT ANOTHER CUSTOM BOARD IN THE FUTURE.
>> EVERYONE WAS BUYING PUZZLES AND PEOPLE ARE SITTING AROUND
THE TABLE DOING THEIR PUZZLES AND GAMES AND THIS IS SO
EXCITING THAT THIS IS A PART OF TH
