It all started with a simple need—a way to keep track of my duplicate bridge scores. I had grown tired of scribbling on loose scraps of paper or struggling with generic score sheets that didn’t quite fit my style. So, one quiet evening, I sat down and designed my own. Nothing fancy—just clean, organized lines with the right columns and spaces for bids, tricks, and totals. It was practical, personal, and mine. Then one day, a bridge buddy saw it. "Hey, that’s neat," they said. "Could you make one for me?" Of course! Why not? I tweaked the design a little, printed a fresh copy, and handed it over with a smile. Seeing someone else use something I created felt… good. Word spread. Another friend asked. Then another. Soon, I wasn’t just making them for my local club—requests came from players I barely knew. "Do you sell these?" they’d ask. "I love how easy it is to read!" That’s when the idea hit me: What if I shared this with even more bridge lovers? I launched a simple website, offering my handmade score books. At first, it was just a passion project—a way to give back to the game I adored. But then something beautiful happened. Orders trickled in, not just from my town, but from across the world. Players sent messages saying how much they appreciated the design, how it made their games smoother, more enjoyable. What had started as a personal solution had become a way to connect with fellow players—strangers turned friends over a shared love of the game. Now, every time I see a photo of someone using my score book at their club or hear how it’s helped them keep better track of their matches, I can’t help but smile. It’s proof that sometimes, the simplest ideas—born out of necessity and crafted with care—can touch more lives than we ever imagined. And to think… it all began with just a single sheet of paper and a love for bridge. ♠️♥️♦️♣️
