Crafty Chica Opportunity

As you may know, when it comes to crafting, I'm 'sic wit it'. Crafts are something I can't get enough of. Well, since being a mom, the crafting tools had been collecting dust. My brother is getting married in two months and his wife-to-be expressed her lack of knowledge about wedding decor. Well needless to say, wedding decor can be a crafter's delight, especially this crafter. I jumped on the opportunity to let the 'crafty chica' out and my sister-in-law and I are both are loving it. I have turned her on to my favorite crafting community www.etsy.com. The website is to buy and/or sell ANYTHING handmade. There are a wealth of people who are crafty like me who get an opportunity to take on dares of their friends to start a business selling whatever they love to make. The design ideas from this uber-talented community is endless. I haven't been so immersed in crafts since my DIY own wedding. For my brothers wedding, I started out simply making the cake, which evolved to making the flowers, to now, the re-instatement of Rowe-Jones Jewelry. Thanks to Etsy, I have lots to work with and a community of crafters to resource from.
