Dear Fans
Dear Fans,
I normally do not get into the pricing debate, however today I feel like I need to voice my opinion. I want to encourage everyone to embrace the price that is placed on handmade items.
Handmade items are made by a person and not a machine. This means that items have a personal touch and are limited to how fast a person can complete each project. We, as handmade creators, can not mass produce each item at high rates of speed. So we replace that with a quality and love you will not find in mass produced items. We often stay up late, put off doing our chores, skip a meal or two and use our lunch breaks at work to finish an ordered item.
So I ask that when you are shopping around, please take note of the price. If you notice the price to be to good to be true keep digging, because it probably is to good to be true. Find a handmade artisan and form a bond with that person, because they are giving you a little piece of themselves with every item you buy from them. And know that everything that goes into a handmade item is truly immeasurable.
Have a Blessed Day,
Lexy

A Day of Rememberence
Today I will not be open for business. Instead I will be remembering and praying for everyone affected by the attack on our great nation on this day twelve years ago. Below are some links and images to help us to remember and pay tribute to that day, those lost and those forever changed by those events.
May God bring peace back to this nation.
Have a Blessed Day

Walk, Run, AVON...For a Cure.
Happy Wednesday Everyone.
Today I would like to talk to you all about a little girl named Keira.
Keira is a very spirited 5 year old twin. Over the 2012 Holiday Season her parents were given some heartbreaking news. Keira was told she had cancer. The silver lining, she was diagnosed with ALL. This kind of cancer has a high success recovery rate.
You can keep up to date on Keira's progress through out her treatment journey on her blog.
Keira's Blog
As you may know Lexy's HandMade Creations held an auction benefit for Keira at the beginning of the year. I plan on holding another at the beginning of 2014 as well. The funds raised will go the Keira and her families needs as she continues her fight with ALL. I will also be listing her, along side my PeePaw(God rest him) and Step-Dad, as someone I am walking for in this years Light the Night Walk. Follow this link to join my team or donate to help find a cure: Light for Life.
Keira has captured the hearts of many people. Her family will be walking the One Million Miles Walk, in her honor, hosted by Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation to help raise awareness and donations to continue the search for a cure. Follow this link to get more information on that walk: Team Keira. As well as an AVON Fundraiser to help. Follow this to get to the group page for AVON Fundraiser.

As you all know I have been crocheting for some time now.
My journey started off, while I was pregnant with our daughter, as a desire to make my baby a special blanket. At first I didn’t get it, but with a little help and practice I was on my way to, what you now could call my, addiction for the art. I would make stuff, while I was working full-time, just to make it and give it away. Or I would make stuff as gifts to answer the call of the hook. Or as a stress reliever.
After we moved, and my hours at work were limited, I was faced with and unimaginable amount of time on my hands. This only fueled the fire to turn a ball of yarn into something, anything. With a big tub of yarn, my grandma gave me, and uninterrupted time I crocheted my little heart out. Once I was done I didn’t know what I was going to do with all the stuff I had made. I thought craft shows, sponsored events and my Facebook page would all be sufficient.
The events came and went. And my Facebook fan page hit the ground crawling. So I decided to be more productive. Liking ladders, Page Mingling and other creative ways to get likes was the road to fan base growth. Next were auctions, hosted by other pages, to get my name out there. And then, what turned into a huge break for me, an RTS group.
This turned my inventory into actual sales. Packages were bundled and shipped. Photographers started buying my items for their prop drawers and Lexy’s HandMade Creations took a turn for the more professional crocheting realm of things. And now I am partnering up with a new group.
Made with Love, Props & More is my newest outlet for reaching new clients. Fairly new to Facebook, Made with Love, Props & More is headed up by a very professional lady with the know how to make a successful page, where we can come together and get our handmade goods to new homes. I am very excited about this new partnership because I know that new connections will be made. Also because this page is not just for your photographer.
It is for your new mom and dad looking for a special handmade item for their new bundle of joy. It’s for your trendy teen, who doesn’t want to have the same scarf or headband every other girl in school has. It’s for you, who is looking for a new “spoil myself” gift that is made by a person and not a machine.
So head on over to Made with Love, Props and More and check it out (https://www.facebook.com/MadeWithLovePropsMore). And Mark Your Colanders for July 23, 2013. That is the big Grand Opening Sale. It will be Christmas in July, because it’s never to early to buy your new fall and winter props or Christmas presents.
I hope you all have a very Blessed Day
