Remember the Artist and Giveaway: Mari from Hobbies from the Heart


Remember my friend Mari from Hobbies from the Heart?
in what has been one of the most popular giveaways on this blog!

I can feel the excitement building already.
Yes, Mari is doing it again!
You'd better sit down for this one.

She's giving one lucky winner
a $20 gift certificate!

Vintage Ribbon, Gingham/polka dot (3 colors to choose from)
Buy it here
For those of you familiar with Hobbies from the Heart
$20 is like $1,000,000 over there.
Mari has the best deals around on craft supplies such as
twine, tags, and paper cutouts.

Mari turned me on to a lot of my favorite products,
and gave me some great ideas for my shop.
Not only is she talented, she's very kind and obviously generous.

I can't wait to show you some things from her shop!

10 This is our Love story unique rustic small tags

Q: Your giveaway was one of my most popular of all time! 
Why do you think your products appeal to such a wide variety of readers?

A:

I think this might be because of the variety of items I offer. 
I have things for “DYI’ers” but I also sell other things already made for a variety of occasions, 
such as seals/stickers, tags, twine, etc. Who doesn't love doesn't love stickers?

Q: As we know, you are a busy lady! 

What have you been up to lately, other than running a fabulous Etsy shop?

A:

Yes. I’m about to finish my Masters degree this summer and I’ve been very busy finishing experiments and working on my thesis defense. It has been one of the busiest semesters ever with the juggling work/baby/house/etsy, and everything in between. The good thing is that hard work pays off (and having a supporting husband too!). We’ll be moving to Wisconsin later this year and I will be starting my Ph.D in Neuroscience next summer. Yay! 



6 Vintage Postage Stamps thank you Tags - You choose color scheme - Merci beau coup

Q: What is your favorite item to make? 
A:

Seals/stickers are my most favorite things to make. I love working with the customer to come up with custom designs for their special occasion or business. (Ps. There are a lot of creative people out there!)



Baby blue and White Twine- 100 yards (300 feet) center-pull ball

Q: Any new products coming in the near future?

A: Well, since I will be moving in the Fall, I might want to do some “de-stash” sales to get rid of extra “stuff” I don't want to take with me to WI. I might also create new seal designs, and such, but I haven’t much time to plan right now given that all of my attention is on my thesis right now. 



24 Thanks so much Kraft round labels/seals
Buy it here

Q: Just for fun, what are a few of your recent favorite Etsy stores? 
Bought anything amazing lately?

A: I actually love shopping on etsy for me, and my family either through this account or another one I have. One of the last few things I ordered was this cute mustache seal 

that I’ll probably be using to create some neat stuff soon.
I also ordered some time ago these super unique little earrings which I wear almost all the time.

And of course, everyone deserve a little treat, and these smores are just that… they are AMAZING (I’ve also tried her chocolate chip cookies and they are pretty good too!)
