Tell us a little bit about your blog and/or shop.
My # 1 goal is to have a successful creative business which will allow me to stay home with my son. Around this time last year, I was fretting about how I was going to have a birthday party for our soon-to-be 3-year-old son and not blow our budget. I wanted his party to be unique and special. However, we had almost no budget to do so. It was then that it hit me! I challenged myself to throw a low cost, hand-made birthday party; down to the invitations and the party favors. Once I had made that decision, there was no stopping my creative flow! I soon discovered that I was in my element! His party was terrific fun and from there my Etsy shop was born. I've since added my blog, Facebook page and even send out a few tweets, now and then.

What is your favorite product in your shop right now?
It has to be my astronaut helmets. Especially around Halloween. When I was putting together my Etsy shop, the astronaut helmet was one of the last items I posted, in a last minute decision to add them to my item list. They are so fun because they are customized for each child, with their name and planet choice. And now they are the best sellers in my shop, year round!

Favorite fall activity with your family?
Anything to do with pumpkins! I get a major thrill when I see the first batch of pumpkins in the grocery stores every September! Pumpkin carving, visits to pumpkin patches, making pumpkin breads and muffins, and especially making my all time favorite snack of roasted pumpkin seeds!

What are you looking forward to about Holiday Handmade?
This will be my first craft fair! I'm nervous, but also excited. I don't know what to expect or how my items will be received, but I look forward to the experience and to find ways to grow my business.
