| Win This Gorgeous Bracelet |
Introduction: I am a stay-at-home mom of one year old twins. I have a passion for the arts and inspiring others. After the birth of my babies, I was laid off, but I had decided before this if I could I would be a stay-at-home mom (SAHM), which I am blessed to still be doing today.
The life of a SAHM of twins can be very chaotic, and it is easy to get pulled into just being a ‘mother’ and nothing else. This began to wear at me and I started to search for a purpose to regain my sanity. Having been a performer and writer my whole life, my creative side began to pull at me. I somehow thought of jewelry. I love bright and unique jewelry and thought, Why don’t I create my own but with a purpose. Jewelry to inspire the beauty inside and outside of us! So ChariT’s Inspirational Creations was born!
How did you get your start on Etsy? I was searching for something unique and original and came upon Etsy. I was like ooo this is cool; a website with custom and handmade items. I love it!! I became a member instantly.
How did you choose your shop name? The name is twofold; of course my first name and last initial (Chari T) lol. But seriously, I create to spread charity (n. Christian love; agape) to all.
What does a typical day look like for you? A typical day? LOL. Wake and feed the babies and myself. Check my emails and social media outlets for updates while trying to stop the babies from crawling all over the house. Feed the babies, make a little bit of jewelry . . . and so goes the day, lol! On Mondays and Fridays they go to grandmas when I get to have strict work time and I do more creating, running errands to the crafts stores, and corresponding with customers.
If you could be anywhere in the world for one day, where would you be? Some nice beach where it is relaxing and warm near the water . . .
What is your favorite Bible verse? I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. -Phil. 4:13 This verse reminds me to be confident in myself and God. Knowing that no matter what all things are possible.
What is your favorite Etsy item listing to feature? I love to feature this beautiful ‘Don’t Be Jealous of Me’ Green, yellow, and white necklace! I love the bright colors and the message of going green and loving yourself!
