Hello! Thank you for visiting Personal Lee. My name is Leanne McDonald Luehrman, but you can call me 'Lee'. I live in sunny Southwest Florida with my husband (Dr. Glen), three children (Alexandra, Blake & Brooks) and three dogs (Moose, Gidget & Oscar). Originally from Canada, I met and married my husband in Virginia after law school. I have always loved everything personalized but the truth is growing up my friends Michelle & Tracy always had pencils and things with their names on them, and with my more unusual name I felt a little left out. I began embroidering things when my daughter Alexandra was just a toddler, starting with hair bows for her, and by 2008 I opened my first store, Preppy In Paradise. Now that child is headed to law school herself and I still love monogramming things.
I closed my brick-and-mortar store during the pandemic but continued to personalize gifts for friends and family. I have heard from so many former customers who missed the store so I have decided to re-open as a home-based business! I have a commercial embroidery machine, hundreds of fonts, thousands of images and logos and a lot of thread colors to choose from. I also bring nearly 15 years of personalization experience to the table, and I am happy to share my expertise with you! In addition to embroidery, Personal Lee can provide you with vinyl decals and heat transfer vinyl for those hard to personalize projects. I love to collaborate with people and my passion is helping people give gifts that they are proud of.
When I'm not monogramming, I am spending time with my family, watching my daughter play college tennis, attending my son's rowing regattas, cooking, baking, traveling, reading or playing the piano.
