Today, I’d love to introduce to you one of my sweet blog friends, Alely, of Oh, Sweetlee Me. Alely is such a doll, she leaves the nicest comments and tweets and is always so encouraging. I’m honestly so happy to have found a friend in her and hopefully my travels one day will take me to visit her! 😉 Her shop is full of beautiful customizable hand-stamped charm jewelry, camera strap covers and flower pins, come take a look!
{MEET ALELY}
1) Tell us a little bit about yourself.
i am officially a mom of three teens; a 13, 16 & 17 yr old. i am originally from the san francisco bay area and now hail in the queen city! i have always been a stay at home mom but within the past 2-3 years and since the kids are older i have been working part-time for a local christian school and in my spare time i’m the mom taxi driver shuttling the girls from their extracurricular activities outside of school, doing laundry, cooking, cleaning, crafting, blogging and tweeting in between.
2) How did you get the idea to start making jewelry?
i took a couple of jewelry making classes at a local bead shop and hand stamping was one of them which i really enjoyed. i made a couple for myself and started to make them for friends as gifts for birthdays & special occasions. the necklaces were admired by others and i started to get word of mouth requests for them. however, i also love to sew and do anything crafty so in my shop you will find other little something-somethings other than hand stamped jewelry.
3) If you could travel to any place in the world, where would it be and why?
my roots are from the philippines and the hubby’s are from china. i would love to take our kids to the philippines and to china to see where their ancestors and their roots originated from. i also have extended family in the philippines that i would like to spend time with and would love for my kids to meet. plus i hear the beaches there are beautiful!
4) What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
i have always been a fan of mocha almond fudge and banana nut.
