Today, I bring you a giveaway from SouleMama Sponsor Stubby Pencil Studios. In Kate's words:
"Stubby Pencil Studio offers a wide selection of art and craft supplies for children that are not only high quality and affordable, but also eco friendly and fun for kids. Fall is just around the corner and new products are arriving daily. Families will find many "green" options for back to school supplies and lots of terrific ideas for creative holiday gifts."
Kate: Since Spring 2006, when my twins turned two. I looked for simple cards to send as thank you notes for gifts. Nothing seemed to fit, so I quickly made cards for the girls to color and I wrote the note inside - everyone loved them. Over time, we built the website, added more card designs, small toys, and art supplies.
SouleMama: What's your favorite part of your job?
Kate: I love being able to connect families with our products. I frequently hear how difficult it is to find eco friendly art supplies in local stores and how happy parents are when they discover us. I really enjoy offering suggestions for items that are age appropriate and I know will be a big hit with the kids. We are blessed with many wonderful customers and I feel a connection in that we are all striving to make better choices as consumers and provide a better place for our children.
SouleMama: What's the most challenging part of your job?
Kate: It's a constant challenge for me to stay focused and organized. I start the day with every intention of getting things done, but having the business in-home allows distractions and it feels like there is never enough time in the day. I complete the things I like to do, of course, and procrastinate on the rest. Lucky for me, I have a terrific bookkeeper that keeps me from getting into too much trouble.
