Caroline recently found me and my little blog and emailed me about becoming a sponsor and I was so excited to add her to my page. I love what she does. What a great idea: dishwasher safe labels! I don’t know about you but our family stays really busy and I’m constantly trying to remember bottles and sippy cups when I pick my kids up from MOPS or Bible Study. I’m surprised that I haven’t lost more over cups and bottles than I have over the last 2 years. These labels would’ve been a life saver. When Caroline emailed me I immediately emailed her about doing a giveaway and she agreed. Then I emailed her to tell me a little more about herself and how she began her business. She emailed me back a wonderful testimony and then told me I could cut, paste and use whatever I wanted. Well I couldn’t decide what to cut so here’s a little about Caroline.
How did the idea for your business begin?
I went to school wanting to be an event coordinator so I majored in Mass Media where I took a few classes about computer design. Once I graduated I got married and got pregnant so I didn’t go into event coordinating. Before I knew it I was a stay at home mom of three. I was coordinating weddings at my church and throwing parties as often as I could, this was my “thing” that makes me excited and it’s like my little outlet (all stay at home moms need an outlet) just for me. The thing is you can’t force someone to get married just so you can do their wedding, or plan a party every weekend, although I am so on board with a party every weekend!
I didn’t start looking for another “thing” and at the time I wasn’t aware as to what was about to happen. For me this was a God thing, He gets me to every point in my life and He got me here. September of 2009 I knew that I wanted to make some dishwasher safe labels for my children so I began make some designs and I came up with some cute labels. My church at the time was growing and changing and as a church we decided we wanted to be debt free and we needed everyone to help. I asked God how I could help and He showed me what He had already started for me. I knew at that point I was going to sell my labels. I was going to get them on etsy and sell them for a month and give my church all the money I made. I wasn’t sure what to expected, I didn’t even know if I would sell anything……….God knew.
That month was one of my top months to date and it was awesome to watch God in control. He has given me the talent, the drive and the love for my little outlet. I now look at this as a way to honor God. For every child I make labels for, I pray for. This is one way I can make this a ministry.

As of now with three children my time goes to them, but one day I plan on doing more. I can custom make invitations, banners, any size labels, you name it maybe I can make it. I LOVE what I do and I LOVE even more that I can honor God while doing it.
Caroline would like to give one of my readers a set of 30 dishwasher safe labels. Excited?! I am!
