I'm Allison Holford.
As a housewife I've always made clothing for my children. And I knit and crocheted as well.  These skills I have passed on to my daughters. When I joined the workforce I wasn't able to devote as much time to these crafts but I've never forgotten them. They say you never forget how....I don't know who they are but they were right. 
When I became unemployed, and had little to no desire to continue being an employee, my daughter Carlene (who also became unemployed sometime later) suggested that we use our craft to start our own business. This began the continuous evolution of ARCA Creative Concepts.
