Mama, I love you THIS much!

My little girl would come running across the room, arms open wide, with big smiles, saying, "Mommy, I lub you all da way to Okiehoma!"(we had just taken her first plane ride to meet my soon-to-be husband's family in Oklahoma). Like any parent, grandparent, or anyone that loves a child, I would melt- and remember why I wanted to be a Mama in that very moment.

To capture that feeling year 'round, on Valentine's weekend, Feb. 13, 14, and 15, all of my customers will receive a free heart magnet with any purchase! It includes choice of skin color, adult name, and can be personalized with all of your children's names.

For your free magnet with free shipping, hop on over to http://www.halfpintboling.etsy.com/ and make a purchase of any item in the store. You will automatically get your free magnet, just convo me with the details and it will come lovingly wrapped in bubble wrap to it's new home.

Have a wonderful Valentine's Day with all of your loved ones- and remember to let them know just how much they mean to you every day!!

XOXOXOXOXOX,

Amber

Soul Singing??? WHAT???

Being a Mama, Wife, business woman, and many other things can be overwhelming at times. Sometimes life can throw you a curveball and you feel like falling apart. Even through all of those tough days, there is something that can help pull you out of your funk. Creating! You can pour your heart and soul into a craft, music, anything that makes your soul rejoice - you'll feel rejuvenated and refreshed. Without the freedom to create, one is left with one less outlet for frustration, sadness, reverence, and joy!

This freedom has led me to design a new line of lil' buttons that I am hoping will inspire others to create. I want them to look at these buttons and say- " AAhhhh, those buttons make me want to try making a .....". There are certain fabric designers, such as Amy Butler and Michael Miller that inspire me. One peak at their fabrics and I'm planning outfit after outfit! The problem is that there are so many things to make and so few hours in a day.

I have added several sets to my etsy store with more to follow. Thanks to my fellow Cafemoms I have more ideas than I can possibly make in a month of sculpting! I'm always open to new ideas and designs and would love to do some custom buttons just for you.

So, after the little ones are in bed tonight, grab a cup of your favorite coffee or tea and take a creative break. Do something that makes your soul sing- just for you and you alone. Happy creating!!
