#ACraftersDream Valentine Giveaway

It's that time again!! For those who participated in our last Crafter's Dream Giveaway, you know how much fun we had. We are doing it again! There are 40+ bloggers and store owners teaming up to bring a lot of opportunities to win some great prizes. I want to send out a special thank you to our three hostesses: My Merry Messy Life, Tutus and Tea Parties and Earning My Cape.





Now I would like to introduce Jennifer from Shared Joy. She has some really cute items in her store for your hair or your little ones hair. :) She is sponsoring my giveaway!

 Tell us a little bit about yourself and your store:

  I live in Virginia with my husband and daughter...I started my etsy business in hopes of being able to provide a little extreme income while being a SAHM.  Emma (10 months) was my inspiration for Shared Joy : ).


What are you most skilled at craft wise and what craft skills would you like to be more skilled at?

  I think my creativity at the moment is what I'm most skilled at...if that can even be a skill. LOL.  I'd really like to take sewing classes to improve on that and be able to make more items for my store  : )


What do you consider to be your greatest achievement?

  I feel like my greatest achievement is our daughter Emma...she's our first and we love her to pieces. Also starting my own Etsy business and getting my items into 2 different boutiques!  Never thought I'd be selling items I make in a store!

Besides family/friends/home/health what is your most treasured possession?

  Most treasured possession? Probably my sewing machine at the moment!  My mom gave it to me recently and I'm glad I have it!  The reversible headbands in my shop are what I spend the most time on and are a best seller!  I wouldn't be able to make those without it!


Was your business planned, or did it naturally evolve? I mean, did you actively seek out having a business, or did the business find you?


  My business was planned...I knew it would be hard living in Northern Virginia on one income. I originally started it as just fabric button earrings but went on to making headbands as well for my daughter.

Jennifer is offering a $25 credit to her store for one lucky winner!!



Be sure to go over to Tutus and Tea Parties and enter in the grand prize.

    I like these http://www.etsy.com/listing/121531659/garden-party-triolace-headband-floral?. Since my baby girl has a lot of hair she looks better in wider headbands. The skinny ones make her hair stick up funny. :)
