{Giveaway} $25 Shop Credit to mateo & tobias




Today's giveaway makes me smile. All of our giveaways make me happy but I just love looking at the handmade items from Etsy seller mateo & tobias. Cathy, owner of mateo & tobias is generously offering to our followers the chance to win a $25 shop credit. You'll be smiling too when you see what Cathy makes!

In her own words, "I am a stay-at-home mama to two sweet little boys and a wife to a wonderful husband who supports my need to create. Since I was a young girl I loved to design and make clothes, paint, draw and sew little animals. Today, sewing is still a passion of mine, but I also love scrapbooking, card making and digital design. I am addicted to creating designs and illustrations in Adobe Photoshop and more recently Adobe Illustrator.

I opened up an Etsy shop called mateo & tobias, named after my boys, in the fall of 2010. All of my craftiness is done during nap times and bedtime with me often staying up until the wee hours in the morning. When I am not on my sewing machine, in front of the computer, or cutting paper with an Exacto knife, I love to read, take pictures, cook, bake, and garden. My favorite time above all things is time spent with my boys. Laughing. Playing. Having fun. Just time together."

Cathy, it sounds like you have a wonderful life doing what you love and enjoying your family at the same time! Here's just a peek at Cathy's adorable handmade creations...
