Ghostline was our first invention

We have been truly blessed to have invented Ghostline®, the poster board with the "ghosted" grid that eliminates the need to measure and draw lines before making a poster. We are now living our dream and the success of Ghostline® allows us to follow our passion. It is our greatest desire to mentor other first-time inventors so that they can experience the same satisfaction and success we enjoy.

We were not always experts at inventing.

Before we invented Ghostline® we had no previous inventing experience. We were both moms holding down full-time jobs. We are proof that inventing is possible for anyone who has a great idea and is committed to seeing it through. Inventing is not the exclusive domain of a few scientific types.

We have posted answers to some common questions about inventing on our Frequent Questions page. We are not attorneys, however, so any advice we give should not be construed, in any way, to be legal advice. There are many helpful and informative sites for inventors and this site is intended to be a supplement to them, not a replacement for them. If you have questions that you do not find answered on our website write to us through our "contact us" page. We answer each e-mail personally.

Enough said... let's start a creative and inventive revolution!

Inventor club listings can be found on our "Books & Helpful Items" link on the left side of each page. If your club is not listed please let us know so that we may add you! Inventor clubs are a tremendous resource for independent inventors. We strongly urge you to contact or visit your closest club.
