Special Requests
Some of my absolute favorite orders are the "Special Request" orders I get.
Moms that want the perfect bow to match the dress they bought for their little princess!!
PRICELESS!!
I always feel so honored to be chosen for this task!!
Today I had an old friend from high school contact me with a special request so I figured I would blog about just how easy it is to get exactly what you want through my boutique!!
Friend calls/texts me (or even as easy as messaging me through facebook)
tells me what colors she is looking for
what size she would like
and what style
Thats it!!
That is how easy it is!!
I bust out my glue gun and some ribbon and get to work designing bows.
I then text her this picture of what I have created and ask where she wants to go from here.
She tells me which ones she likes best, and asks me to combine the two.
Here is the red with white polka dot clip she designed for her Princess. I just put it all together for her.
Isn't it Adorable!!
Special Requests are my absolute FAVORITE!!

Compassion Bags
After much prayer I have decided that from now on I will be doing MORE with the money from Carlykins. I felt so honored to be able to help my friend April earn money to help 3 orphans from the Ukraine this year for Christmas! I want to keep the Spirit of giving going.
A few weeks ago I found a post/pin on pinterest.com about "Compassion bags" (Compassion Bags are basically anything you can fit in a ziploc bag that a homeless person could use. i.e. soap, toothpaste, tooth brush, crackers, apple sauce, juice, note about Jesus etc......). Later that night after the kids went to bed I talked with my husband about it and told him I wanted to start doing this with my Carlykins money. He was very supportive. I then sent an email to my DGL (discussion group leader) at MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) about somehow doing this as a group for the area homeless.
Long story short, she talked to the other leaders and as it just turns out one of them does this with her children. The next MOPS it was talked about with the whole MOPS group AND a sample bag was sent home with everyone!! So everyone could make their own decision with whether or not they want to do it and not feel forced to do it as a MOPS activity.
How cool is that!! Even if just 5 of the women in MOPS decide to do it, and if they make 10 bags each with a little prayer card in there, that's 50 homeless!! COOL COOL COOL!!!
Please pray for this mission!!

Bigger Cause
In my last post I posted about how Blessed I have felt recently with all the Carlykins Sales.
I have decided to do something more with these sales.
Carlykins is taking on a little mission to help a friend raise enough money to host 3 orphans from the Ukraine for Christmas this year.
After chatting with this friend a little this morning I spent most the afternoon in prayer listening to Christian praise music and just pondering what to do and how I can help. The Holy Spirit put it on me to use Carlykins to help. I have always wondered what people meant when they said "The Lord spoke to me" for years I have always wondered what "his" voice sounded like, and why I have never heard it. Since being baptized I have realized it is not a "voice" per say. For me today it was an over whelming push/feeling into what I can be doing to help this friend raise money to meet her goal of helping these 3 children.
Here is her blog address for you to read about their journey thus far.
You can donate straight through this blog and not even bother with a Carlykins purchase. Please understand that I am not doing this to boost my sales in any which way. I am only doing this to truly and honestly help raise money for April and these 3 orphans!!

This is April, her husband Danny, son Coby and Lidiya.
This year they are trying to get Lidiya and her 2 brothers Andre & Vlad.

Lidiaya and her older brother, Vlad

Blessed
I have been feeling very blessed with Carlykins recently!!
Orders are coming in daily!!!
God truly knows what we need when we need it!!
Life has thrown us a few financial obstacles here recently and with only one of us working in the world of paychecks sometimes 5 kids, 2 dogs, 1 cat and 3 fish can be a little much!!
God really knows how to take care of His children and I am so glad to be one of them!!
I just had to take a second to share.
Thank you to all my friends, family and clients for your constant support!!

BIG NEWS!!
A huge thing is happening for Carlykins!!!
I am so excited about this!!
Do you remember a few blogs back I posted about a girl friend who wanted something "Girlie" for herself.
She got her Carlykins Flower clip the other day in the mail and loved it! Said she got a "gazillion compliments on it"!!
How cool is that!!
So she has placed a Large order of 100 of them to give her clients as a Gift!!
She owns www.BasilTheCat.Etsy.com
This has been one of the biggest learning experiences yet for myself with Carlykins. I am using math that I swore I would never use ! HA HA
I haven't even really gotten started on the project yet but everything is ordered and on its way to me! Actually the clips got here today, now we are just waiting on the flowers!
This is such a huge compliment to me/Carlykins I just do not know how to take it all in just yet.
Pictures to follow!!
