December surprise from Alli's Originals

Shortly after the holiday chaos subsided in December, I went out to check the mail and found this:

I always get excited to get oversized envelopes in the mail. Bills rarely come in oversized envelopes!

Case in point, lookie what was inside:

What a pretty package!

See who it's from?

What's inside, you ask?

Ooohhhhhhh.....

A beautiful reminder for me!

Alli's Originals specializes in made-to-order hand stamped, personalized sterling silver jewellery. Alli is an at home Mompreneur who began making jewelry as a hobby over 9 years ago. You can read more about Alli at her blog.

I won this beautifully hand-crafted piece through an internal draw for Mabel's Labels agents.

Thank you Mabel! Thank you Alli!

I love it!

Isn't this why every mother wants to become an entrepreneur?

A tongue-in-cheek comment on being a mompreneur, from Mabel's Labels Julie Cole.

"In our hormonally imbalanced and irrational states, we choose to live as over-extended and under-paid business owners, exhausted mothers and neurotic and somewhat manic women."

With a sell like that, don't you want to be one too?
