AbbyChaseDesigns - New ETT SOTW - Making Life a Little Easier

Mandy Graham of AbbyChaseDesigns has created the products in her etsy shop to fill a niche that large corporations and manufactures ignore. Mandy recognizes that it's the "little things in life that make being a mother and child a little bit easier. Most of my creations come from a need in my own life".
These useful creations include:
* an "incognito" wallet to carry tampons discreetly
* covers that snap over seat belts to prevent chafing (in both adult and children's sizes!)
* e-books to help you create your own camera/diaper bag, pincushions, a children's game, and more!
Mandy says that "Running a creative business is (her) outlet and it's what keeps (her) sane with five kids," while living in rural Idaho "forces (her) to be creative and organized, but it also allows for the quiet time that (she) needs to create."

Do You See a Pattern Here?

Vintage Canning Jelly Jars from The Keeper's House
Rustic Metal Disks from Findings by Amy
Baker's Twine from Oh For Cute
Graniteware Bowls from Sunny Day Vintage

I think it's the time of year. I think it has something to do with reaching for those boxes of gift wrap and ribbon and Christmas decorations that have been hidden on the top shelf of the hall closet since last December. I think it has something to do with living in a NYC apartment where space (especially storage space) is at a premium.

I think it has something to do with my desire to redistribute the wealth this time of year. I think it has to do with another pending new year with the same pending resolution to get organized and stay organized. Oh, don't get me wrong. I don't just resolve to do it, I do it. I do it well. I am the purger in the family. What I don't give to charity or throw away, I sort, arrange, store or display. And these "most recent" purchases from wonderful etsy sellers will help me do it (The cool metal beads? They'll be stored or displayed until I make a fabulous necklace with them. C'mon, 3 out of 4 ain't bad!)
