Some of my favorite SHE teamers...

I'm very excited to showcase some of these amazing ladies from our SHE team. SHE=Schooling @Home Etsians ;o) Woo Hoo Homeschoolin Mamas!

The denim hat is from Kimpayne.etsy.com . Kim's sewing talent is only surpassed by her southern charm! She is one of the sweetest Mama's I've met on Etsy. She made me an adorable apron with pockets that I get so many compliments on. It was one of those things that she just whipped up one afternoon. This denim hat that she donated would look AMAZING with a cute little flower pin.

I also got a warm and cozy pair of slippers from Liz @ Handsdelight.etsy.com , another wonderful SHE team member ;o) This girl is a whiz with a crochet hook! Go check out her store for hats, dish cloths, even home decor! You can read all the latest info on Liz and her shop at handsdelight.wordpress.com

More from some wonderful SHE team Mamas :o)

Karista from Klow.etsy.com sent this adorable "Best Wishes" card! She's so sweet, she even sent a card congratulating me on reaching 100 sales! Thanks a bunch! Go check out her store, she has some beautiful cards and other items, just in time for Valentines day! Imagine how touched your family and friends will be when you give them handmade Valentines. Maybe even send one as a secret admirer ;o)

Sonja, who runs veryverdent.etsy.com is one of those other seamstresses I admire! Her shop is one of my new favorites. She's donated that cute Luggage Tag. She has an entire shop FULL of things I'd like to buy! Check out her Huckleberry Hobo Game~too cute! My kids would love that! Also check out her SALE section, it's all HALF OFF! I love a good deal... I may have to go shopping...

And last, but certainly not least are those sweet little hair clippies from BownHairodesigns.etsy.com . She gave me an extra pair to try out, and let me tell you, I am impressed! My girls NEVER keep clippies in their hair, but my almost 3yr old kept them in her hair all day! In fact, I just ordered a whole bunch of clippies from her and I can't wait! She's also one of those super fun people to work with and talk to. We've had a great time chatting and putting a swap together ;o)

Thanks again to these wonderfully sweet Homeschooling Mamas from the SHE team. When you're on Etsy seach SHEteam for loads of handmade goodies from homeschooling families all across the globe!

I feel like St. Nick! What a fun job he has! I think I like giving gifts almost more than receiving them! Here are a couple more items to add to the prize pack!

This is a bath themed post I guess! I didn't do that on purpose, but it works!
Prettybelly17.etsy.com sent me a BUNCH of wonder Lavender soap samples, so I think I'll be sending a few to the winner and a few more with other orders! Her prices are VERY reasonable and her soaps are really cute looking! Check out the chocolate chip vanilla! Mmm...

Next up is a wonderfully fun face scrubbie from Krys. You can visit her shop "While you Sleep I Crochet" at Krys2576.etsy.com . She's can sure rock those crochet hooks!
