Me Oh My…..an Inspired Woman in the stationery business!

Me Oh My Paper Boutique officially started in the fall of 2006. I am a former elementary teacher with a desire to create. After having my baby in June of 2006 my husband and I prayed that God would give us direction in whether I should stay home or go back to work in the fall as a first grade teacher. After seeking Him and seeing that He was clearly telling us to totally trust in Him to provide; we decided that we would rely totally on Him. Our trust in Him has proved that He is a faithful God!

While being home I needed an outlet for creativity, after making my daughter’s birth announcements I was inspired to create more affordable stationery and start an online business. Again, God provided a fun opportunity for me to use my gifts in a way I never had imagined possible. Me Oh My Paper Boutique was born as an online store in January of 2007 and it has prospered ever since. I do absolutely everything myself; from designing, printing, cutting, packaging and shipping. This is all done from my home “cloffice”. I pride myself in a quality product with quality service. I hope that you will be inspired to use some of my products!

Here is what they are saying:

“I love your site! It is very easy to navigate! Your products are absolutely adorable and very affordable! I can’t wait to get my recent order.” –Katie

“Thanks so much for the adorable invitations & super fast turn around! I have just placed another order!” -Joy

“Your stationery is the cutest! I am always more than pleased. I will definitely continue to order. Thanks!!” -Daysha

I have enjoyed art all my life. I’m so excited to show that traditional techniques like watercolor and ink can be used in funky, fun ways. I hope my art will make you smile! I’m a Christian, stay at home mom. I’ve been married for 11 years to the sweetest man alive and we have two beautiful children. We also homeschool and are very active in our church. I want to invite you to come to my blog: Heaven In The Home, to be encouraged in all you do as a woman of God. (The link is: www.HeavenInTheHome.com)

Hi! I’m Amy

I have a passion for fashion, fabric and color! These passions developed the creation of my home-based business designing and sewing original, handmade, custom-made handbags and accessories, called SewArtsy. I love designs that are clean and classy, yet aren’t the everyday bags you’ll find everywhere — in fact, you’ll probably never see the same SewArtsy bag made twice.

I’ve always called northern Virginia “home”, and have forever had an interest in art—taking art classes during high school, and in college, where I earned a B.A. in Art History. I love art, and see fabric as canvas that can be pieced together! I want my bags to be noticed, but for the wearer to be comfortable using them. I love pretty, sassy, bold, beautiful fabrics, but also know that a woman wants her bag to be functional and simple to use.

Check out my bags, hair clippy caddies, and assorted fashion accessories!

Supporting Adoption and Birthparents Facing Crisis Pregnancy

I am also the mom of two beautiful little boys and a baby girl who the Lord has blessed our family with by way of adoption. Adoption is something very close to my heart, and I’m most proud of those of my products that make an impact on supporting adoption, and those men and women facing a crisis-pregnancy – my Hair Clippy Caddies, and baby and kid items! You can find Hair Clippy Caddies at sewartsy.etsy.com, and you’ll find more Hair Clippy Caddies and baby items at sewartsybethany.etsy.com. I donate 25% of my sales on these items to Bethany Christian Services (Bethany.org).

Activity on Etsy

I’m a proud member of the Amys In the Arts Street Team, Christian Artists Street Team, Capital Region Etsy Steet Team, Carried Away Bag Makers Team, and Handmade for Life Team.

Cindy; passionate, loving, open, honest and a heart for others. Filled with peace, joy, love and forgiveness she sometimes doesn’t understand. A daughter of the King who is always amazed at what He can do with her brokenness. He continues to show her His strength to get her through the storms of life.

She has been married for 5 ½ years to her husband Greg. They have 4 beautiful children. Two together; Nathan and Emily, and Cindy’s two older children Ashley and Chase. She has certainly found a wonderful man in Greg who walked into a multi-blended family and has an enormous amount of patience, understanding and loves her for who she is.

Cindy is very familiar with the feelings many women face but don’t want to talk about; fear of rejection and abandonment. Cindy enjoys sharing her life with others and how God has turned her past pain and hurt into blessings. She longs to reach women all over the world that have ever felt rejected, abandoned, or abused and wants them to know they are not alone. She has an amazing testimony of how God has healed wounds and brought blessings!

She is a stay at home mom and feels completely blessed to have the opportunity to help shape her children’s lives and to teach them about Jesus. In her “spare time” she enjoys writing on her blog at www.cindyhaux.blogspot.com She enjoys blogging about anything.

Most recently she blogged on the Love Dare after watching the movie Fireproof and how God saved another almost failed marriage. Cindy also enjoys reading books and is inspired by women who are transparent and open their lives and their hearts.

She is no expert and does not pretend to have everything figured out – she is real and still faces challenges of hurtful things, difficult situations and struggles with fear of rejection.

Cindy will be speaking on: From Hurt to Healing, How God can fix our broken lives.

She is going to be sharing a bit of her personal testimony along with giving you tools to help face your past and your pain and come out of the darkness and into the light where God wants to use you for His glory. If He can heal her and use her for His good, then He can use you! God has a plan for your life and he works everything for His good.

Romans 8:28

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.

Her session will be: “Forty” and Qualified!

Do you think you are supposed to accomplish “certain things” by a “certain age”? Do you let yourself get stuck into thinking that age is the end all? God uses everyone regardless of their age. Your path in life may be changing and you may be fighting it, but come and hear how God used people throughout the Bible to do wonderful things at different stages in their lives.

Fireproof Your Marriage Couple’s Kit

Starting a Servolution is not about an event; it is about developing a culture. Infusing this culture into the DNA of your church will change your view of the world and your perspective of the needs of those who live around you.

This movement is rumbling throughout the Body of Christ – a revolutionary army of people ready to take up this mandate, and who are unwilling to let others get away. We are actively pursuing the lost, the forgotten, and the poor to show them a God who is passionately in love with them. We stand ready with one heart, saying, “I am here to do whatever, whenever, so that the others will not get away. I will serve others and show them the hope they can have in Jesus.”

I invite you to join the movement. It’s a revolution of serving others…a Servolution. The troops are followers of Christ, the companies of soldiers are churches, and the weapons are towels for service. Once you have experienced the intoxication from serving someone who is less fortunate than you with every bit of energy, time and resource you possess, you will be hooked. You’ll be a servolution junkie ready to plunge in to the movement for your entire life. Through our lives, through our families, and through our churches God is about to touch the lives of others in ways we never dreamed possible.
