Etsy Shop – Open for Business!

by Leigh Anne on February 8, 2010

I am excited to announce the grand opening of Your Homebased Mom Etsy Shop!!

I love shopping on etsy as well as promoting and supporting etsy shops so I am now proud to be part of this amazing community. A community of people who support the buying and selling of all things handmade!

Due to popular demand I have stocked my shop with some of those pretty reuseable grocery bags I shared with you a few weeks ago. I’d love for you to go over and take a peek and let me know what you think.

If I do say so myself I think they are pretty darn cute!

There are only a certain number of bags available in each fabric selection so if you see one you like you will want to grab it because once it is gone – it’s gone. I will be adding lots of other pretty fabric selections later this week.

Each bag has been lovingly made by me – Your Homebased Mom!

Stay tuned for other lovely, pretty items that will be added in the future!!

Happy shopping!!

February 5, 2010

You have to understand that meatloaf has not crossed the table of the Wilkes household for at least 12 years.
We had an “encounter” with meatloaf 12 years ago that has left us all [...]

January 29, 2010

Cowboys may like calzone because they are quick and easy to eat on the run but so do us civilian folk , especially busy civilian folk!!
A calzone is like a pizza pocket or turnover. In Italian it actually means “stocking” or “trouser”. Not really sure how it resembles a stocking or trouser but oh well!
The [...]
