I am absolutely giddy to feature three women that exude such an enormous amount of talent that it would be an injustice to all to not spread the word about them! Each of these women have a business that is fueled by passion, consideration for their client and a whole lot of heart! I know each of these ladies personally, some longer than the other but what I have realized with each person is the positive energy that each exude and how this energy is passed on through their work. It is an honor to feature each lady and I hope that you take the time to 'LIKE' them on Facebook, follow on Twitter, Blogs and/or check out their Etsy shop if they have one listed.
Now...drum roll please.....
Fabulous Female Feature!!

All profit goes to a charity called Project Mexico which is a ministry through her Church- Creekside Christian Fellowship in Irvine. One to two times a year a visit is made to Mexico to build homes for families in need. This is a fantastic charity and it is extremely generous of Alisa to contribute in this way.

Pink Sparkle and Lace
Tammy La Motte
Now, it's time to meet Tammy. A wife, mother of three grown men and creator, designer and owner of Pink Sparkle and Lace. This women can sew like no ones business, literally putting every bit of heart into each stitch she makes. I've known Tammy for quite some time now and anytime that I have seen something that she has handmade, I immediately thought she purchased it in the store. Tammy must be a perfectionist because her work is flawless!! I just recently purchased some items from her Etsy store. These items, shown here, are so adorable, comfortable and durable....as we all know, when we have kids we NEED things that will last; holding up to our kids adventures. Pink Sparkle and Lace offers an array of items from aprons- full and half size, toddler dresses and boxers, hobo bags, change purses and diaper covers to name a few. Her price ranges from $5 on up. Pink Sparkle and Lace has a Facebook account, Etsy shop, Twitter, blog and website. There are tons of ways to connect with her, see her work and make a purchase!

| Orange Quilt Bee |
Last but certainly not least is Lisa- a wife, mother of 2 adult children and co-owner of the Orange Quilt Bee. Orange Quilt Bee is a shop that not only offers an array of materials and items for sale but they also offer classes to help you advance in your desired craft. I have known Lisa for almost 17 years!! Her daughter Sarah and I have been best friends since 7th grade!! Throughout the time that I have known Lisa, I have been amazed by her talents. Her attention to detail and passion for sewing and quilting shows through with each piece she does. Something that may interest quite a few crafty mommies (or dads) out there is that the Orange Quilt Bee sells a pattern for cloth diapers!! I have come across so many moms (and dads) that make their own cloth diapers or would like to start and need a pattern. Well, the Orange Quilt Bee is the place to go to for your cloth diaper pattern. Go to the Orange Quilt Bee site's that are listed below and contact them for purchase!!
