WAHM Spotlight - Kristina @ A Little 2 Sassy

Our WAHM Spotlight this week features my fellow Mom Packer! Kristina from A Little 2 Sassy. Welcome, Kristina! Thank you for sharing your business with us!
Hi! I’m Kristina, wife to Cody and mom to Mackenzie my boo bear who is 8, Chase my Bagheera and Austin my bean head my 5 yr old twins. I love being a wife and mother…..
As a child I grow up with my grandparents after losing my mother in a car wreck at the age of 8. My grandmother was always doing crafts of some sort and of course I was right by her side making them with her. She is one of the most talented people I know and my best friend still to this day.

Now that I’m grown and have kids of my own, I have found myself making crafts for them. My daughter Mackenzie, is my inspiration behind the hair bows. I started making hair bows for Mackenzie a couple years ago when she started playing softball and cheerleading. I received many requests from the other mom to make hair bows for their daughters. I have always dreamed of using my creative talents to start my own business, so here I am today with my own website A Little 2 Sassy. Thanks to my grandmother and my daughter I’m doing what I love.

Each item here at A Little 2 Sassy is meticulously and lovingly made with your little one in mind.... I Hope you and your little one enjoy our Sassy products as much as I love making them.

*Kristina*

Aren't these bows adorable? I can see why Kristina's friends started asking her to make them some! So cute!

Care Instructions

Most of our tote bags and purses are made from machine washable, 100% cotton fabric. Each product will mention the cleaning methods in the item description and also with your bag when you receive it. Please read instructions carefully.

For our machine washable items, please follow the following directions:

Machine wash cold in gentle cycle. I do not recommend putting our bags in the dryer. After washing, HANG TO DRY. After drying, iron and starch lightly for a crisp appearance.

Please email me if you have any questions. Thanks!

WAHM Spotlight - Marlene @ Radiant

This week's WAHM Spotlight goes to my Artfire Buddy, Marlene @ Radiant. I purchased a beautiful shirt from her last month and I love it! I have enjoyed reading her bio and I am sure you will too. Thanks, Marlene ~ Crystal
Marlene's BIO:

My mother was an award-winning painter, knitter, needlepointer, and designer of many a hand crafted item. She taught me to knit at a very young age,and when my older sister and cousins started their families, the baby would receive a knitted sweater, jumper or snow suit. Every now and then I'd sneak in an adult sweater for other family members or myself. Later on, I learned to needlepoint, crochet, paint and hand craft toys.

In 2008 I created an online shop called YaYa Marsy. The shop was born out of my love for babies, toddlers and children. I have been handcrafting for this young, sweet age set since I can remember. These little ones will always hold a special place in my heart. In fact, I refuse to accept that my two teenagers are not babies anymore. Later in 2008, word was out that the laws would be changing for products sold for the 12 and under ages, and I knew I had to take my business in a new direction.

Enter Radiant, my online shop created in late 2008 on the ArtFire website. Thankfully, my tastes in art media are forever expanding, so in Radiant I am enjoying highlighting humor and art with the sparkling intensity of Swarovski crystals. Please vist my shop at http://www.radiant.artfire.com/.

One last tidbit. I donate 10% of all proceeds from Radiant directly to the lab of Dr. Denise Faustman at Massachusetts General Hospital. She isfeverishly working on a cure for Type 1 Diabetes, and her work is solely funded by private donations.
