Recently I've bought a few wonderful items from some wonderful and amazingly talented WAHMs. The first is from my all time fave! ButterBeans&ChicPeas. Beverly has an extraordinary talent and makes this Homemade Business stuff look like a breeze. She is always an inspiration to me with all the new things she's coming up with. It makes me stop and think "What can I make now?" I love and appreciate all her comments and encouragement and her talent!
She made this camera strap cover back in June for her Moms Can Whine Too night! I had been toying with the idea of making my own, but my first attempts a year ago were no good. So after playing in "Whine Night," I saw her post on her FB Fan page {here} about this camera strap. I got this one by guessing that she was drinking Red Whine ... oops, I mean Wine ;) . Once I purchased it from (Etsy Shop), I had it within a couple of days and on my camera in seconds ... it's been on there ever since! It's comfortable and stylish and eye catching! I'm always getting complements on it where ever I go! Bev has also made my kids "Easter Bunnies" and warm cozy slipper boots which I just love. I <3 Beverly and BB&CP!
My other recent purchase came from the sweetest and most wonderful CJ from The Fancy Hooker. Yes, that is the name of her {shop}. My Aitana was browsing Etsy and came across CJ's flower and then another treasury I had made and asked if she could make a treasury too. So, what was the first thing Aitana chose for the list? This fuchsia crocheted flower. See the treasury (here). The entire treasury was based on this one flower.Once the treasury was made, Aitana would not stop talking about this headband! She loved it so much, I couldn't help from getting it for her. And she loves it! CJ is so talented. She has an amazing skill the I very much admire and I am so thankful for it! And so is my girl. I'd take a picture of it in her hair, but her hair is a mess ... she needs a bath. One day soon I'll have a pic of it on Aitana because "Fuchsia is Fancy."I also received another awesome package in the mail. I recently did an exchange with Kara from Lucky Lu Creations. We're a couple of Gnome lovers ... I made her baby boy a "My Gnomeo" Tie Shirt. (It's in the mail, BTW). From Kara I got these wonder
ful handmade paper craft items! I just love them. I've long admired her Gnomes greeting card and she handmade me one saying "Happy Birthday" for a special little birthday girl having a gnome party. Much to my surprise, I also got the adorable matching gnome tags ... I just can't wait to use them! The detail on both of these is just AMAZING! I cannot believe these are handmade. The quality is superb.And you see those thank you tags on the left? My girl also chose those for the Fuchsia is Fancy treasury! In the treasury you'll see that they say Happy Birthday. I got the idea that I just HAD TO HAVE these for Aitana's 4th birthday in October. Because in case she hasn't told you yet, it's a Fancy Nancy Tea Party ... and if you know Fancy Nancy (or even Aitana) her fave color is Fuchsia and she's always wearing a Tiara. These tags are perfect for that, but I wanted them to say thank you for the goodie bags. And you know what ... Kara made it happen for me! Why? Because she just loves custom orders! And I love all my new paper goods. I think LuckyLu Creations may just be may new paper goods guru!
These ladies are amazing and I think ... wait ... I KNOW you'll love them just as much as I do. Not only are they talented, but they are some of the kindest, most generous women I've had the pleasure of knowing!
