My venture into soapmaking began when my son was diagnosed with severe eczema before he was 6 months old. We were able to determine that he had severe allergies that were causing his outbreaks. My husband and I had made a commitment for me to be a full time caregiver to our children, and while I was home with my preschool aged children I began researching ingredients to produce our own soaps and skin care products. Our business was born of this research, and it has enabled me to be home with my children full time, as well as my husband to join our business once he finished his enlistment with the military.

I'm inspired to buy handmade and create handmade items because it is so fun! Jessica, 29, SAHM/WAHM, hyenacart.com/crochetfuntime |
my new passion is finding ways to re-use or up-cycle discarded and often forgotten about items. lately i've been focused on tennis balls. our local tennis club just throws these little darlings away by the hundreds in the summer... in the winter, thankfully, they donate them to local schools and after school programs for crafts and chair stoppers.

If people will remember things their moms, or grandmoms made for them when they were kids, they will treasure handmade. Or even dads and granddads. It is great to carry on the tradition. If you cannot make it yourself, let someone else do it. It is the idea of handmade, something someone created on their own, that makes it so special.
