Ashlie, has lived in Amarillo, Texas and currently is attending West Texas A&M University in Canyon. She has completed treatment for pituitary germinoma, which caused her permanent vision loss. When she's not attending class, Ashlie is dancing, volunteering at church or singing with the church choir. Ashlie’s mom describes her daughter as “always positive and funny and finding the bright side of everything.” She also loves drawing and has had several designs featured in past collections. Her “Snow Family” was a card in the Holiday 2004 Collection and was also used on the t-shirts. Ashlie’s “Candy Cane” art is on the holiday stationery, and her "Stitched Hearts" and "Five Hearts" designs are used on greeting cards as well. Her latest design in the collection is a cross, which is featured on a necklace and a bronze and sterling silver key chain, a new item for 2007.
