With the holidays coming up, I thought I'd share one of my favorite websites for handmade, custom items. I have used
etsy.com several times in the last few years and have been so thrilled. Etsy is made up of individual sellers who use it kind of like a booth at a craft fair.
Some of you may remember Campbell's birthday outfit with the customized shirt and tutu. I got it from an Etsy seller named "noodlesandmilk".
I also have purchased monogrammed bloomers and an adorable Big Sis shirt and Lil Bro onesie for some friends of ours who recently had a baby.
A new shop that I discovered a while back is one I'm very excited about because I think it's a cool concept and it happens to be run by a dear friend of mine from college. It's also perfect timing to share since the holidays are coming up and many of us will be sending out cards to our friends and family.
My friend,
Jaime, will customize a design for you for a card (or even holiday letter) for as low as $15. Then, what is really neat, is that she can email you the design for you to either print at home or you can send it to snapfish or other photo printing lab and print them for as low as 4 to 6 cent per 4x6. Isn't that genius?! So, for $15 plus the low price per card, you can get customized holiday cards. I know what we paid last year for our holiday photo cards and they weren't nearly as cute as Jaime's designs and they weren't that cheap.
She also has options where she can print them for you and even has some two-sided designs. I encourage all of you to check her out!

Here are some examples of her work:

and her another one of BFFs Breana . . . . we had so much fun today at our Chick-Fil-A peppermint milkshake play date . . . we'll have to do it again. Breana was so brave going down the slide all by herself!
