Christmas Gifts ~ Buy HANDMADE!!

Just a quick note since everyone is starting to think of holiday gifts. I would like to encourage everyone to shop as much as possible on ETSY [awesome handmade items] or from WAHMs [work at home moms]. You should first try to support your local WAHMs, buy as many of your gifts from her as possible. This will keep more of your dollars in your community! If you don't know any or need something they don't offer search a few of the links below to find what you're looking for. Wouldn't it be nice to keep all of our money here in the US this holiday season? Plus, your friends and family will love knowing that your gift came from right here in the states!

Buy as much Made in USA, Handmade and Green products as you can this season ~ start your New Year's resolution now!

Vinyl Monograms

I LOVE vinyl monograms! I might even have to figure out how to start doing them myself I like them so much. My friend, Runae [Glam-R-Us Gifts], had made a monogram for my car and I love it, it really makes my car feel like it's mine. I know it's silly, but I really like it. She's in the process of making a monogram for my iPhone [she's using a design that I created, so it will be extra special!].

New Product ~ Now offering Embird

How exciting...I'm now an authorized dealer for Embird Embroidery Software! I haven't added their products to my website yet, but am working on it. For now, you can check out their products at Embird.com [don't order there or you won't be able to get the discount ~ just let me know if you have any questions or want to place an order].

I'm offering 10% off all of their products for the next week as a "Kick-off" sale! By the way, I couldn't find it any cheaper anywhere online ~ let me know if you do!
