EZ Bar Box Sealed Storage
A mobile solution for cocktail garnishes & ingredients
The EZ Bar Box will safely hold up to six items, with no cross contamination. Transport multiple items easily to off site events, golf outings, pool bars or just rugged everyday use. This grid seals each item separately - NO MORE cherry juice spills!Our lid design seals each compartment separately - lock down your expensive & less used items (think cherries, hazelnuts, oranges, pineapple, etc) to stay fresh longer.
Prep & Serve Modular Storage
This system seals each item separately - under one lid!
Prep & Serve will become a system you can use daily. Utilizing a modular design, this container system makes sense of your space. The grid format and square containers take up less space both in and out of your fridge. No matter how you design your box, each item will seal individually, yet removing only one lid to access all saves time and food!

About Weir 1000
Easier & Safer Product Development
Hi - thanks so much for landing here. As an inventor you are always searching for resources and people - also constantly being taken advantage of no matter how street smart you think you are. This is a new way to get products off the mark. My (current) three products shown here have large markets, along with strong licensing potential. I'm looking for people interested in at least one of these and an easy way to be involved in that success. Very low financial/time commitment but be in on the fun!
Called Visionary, Renaissance Woman, Creative
Or Crazy...
I've been a 'creative' for as long as I can remember. We all are - though some of us just have learned how to execute our ideas, and my background in graphic design was a huge help towards that end. I LOVE to solve problems, and find the right folks to help. On this website you will find my current products that are in some stage of completion, and a great group of consultants and partners that have helped move things along.
Kids & Cakes
Absolutely Delicious
Living in Afton with our three young kids, I had quit my State job in 2004 to work on licensing Fitware™. 'Absolutely Delicious" wedding and party cakes became my side biz, but a commercial kitchen would prove to be too expensive. There were not many co-working kitchens back then and besides, all my profits were going to Weight Watchers! This is one venture I am happy I gave up on for that reason alone... but another way my PrepNServe prototypes proved helpful!
A Restaurant Vision
Sail Away Cafe
In late 2006 several people commented that we should open a restaurant in Afton. At the time I thought my product (Fitware) was soon going to be licensed to Rubbermaid or similar. That did not happen but the restaurant did. Once the vision and name came together, the rest did too. We opened in 2008 where four others failed. Ours was quite successful, with live music every weekend, a beautiful patio and scratch cooking. This is the wall tile I did from the logo. Also the reason for the EZ Bar Box!
Real Estate and Rehabs
Seven years of remodeling design
I started in real estate in 2007, and focused on remodels and working with investors from then till 2014, as the market was rocky and inexpensive run down homes were plentiful. I've been in 100's of foreclosures, seen some terrible situations and had one myself. With this experience, I give kudos to those who are willing to take on some of those and turn them around. So fun to make a house a home.
If not for being in real estate, I'd not have thought of EZ Light Wraps
