Treasure Thursday – Paper & Silk giveaway *CLOSED*

 
Where does your shop name come from?
Grace is the mastermind behind our name.  Our shop started with our love of crafting and designing, and our media was mainly paper/graphics and fabrics/sewing.  Hence, paper and silk.  (The name was already in use on Etsy, so we became papersilkmade, since our items are made by paper and silk... you get the idea :D )
How long have you been making headbands? How and why did you start?
Grace and I had been following several blogs on weddings and crafting, and I was always swooning over the headbands and hair accessories (among lots others).  Eventually we thought to ourselves, hey maybe we can make those!  So we did.
Where do you get your inspiration for the items in your shop?
In the beginning, my inspiration came mainly from blogs that we had been following, but it has shifted over to Etsy.  I LOVE looking at people's work on Etsy, and I try my best to respect their designs and not to copy them, but I'm sure my work is influenced by many Etsy creators in some way, shape or form.  I always love trying new ideas, using different fabrics and styles, so my headbands are always changing and evolving in little ways.
 
If you had to choose just one favorite item in your shop, what would it be and why?
This one is one of our mutual favorites , but if I had to pick a favorite headband, it would have to be the Celebration headband.  Yes, that's definitely my favorite.  :)

Treasure Thursday – Skin MD Natural Giveaway *CLOSED*

Today’s Treasure Thursday is about a great skin care product.

I have always had problems with dry skin, especially on my hands and elbows. I have used a lot of different creams and lotions, but their effect only lasts for some days. When I started using Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion, I could feel and see the difference from the other products I have been using.  Their shielding lotion is fast drying, non greasy and doesn’t smell strong. It moisturizes my hands and elbows really well and leaves them soft. And the moisturizing effect lasts for weeks.

Most conventional, artificial moisturizers only add moisture to the surface of the skin, but do little to repair the skin's natural barrier against moisture robbing irritants. Skin MD Natural breaks the dry skin cycle by working to help restore skin's natural protective abilities by bonding to the outer layer of skin, strengthening skins natural barrier against toxins and irritants that can dry the skin, while locking in the skin's natural oils.

Skin MD Natural also produces  + SPF 15 lotion that combines the best features of shielding and sunscreen lotions. This product helps prevent loss of natural oils and moisture, doesn't allow irritating substances to penetrate the skin and absorbs the part of the UV spectrum that contributes to premature skin ageing and development of skin cancers.

Skin MD Natural is made in the US and is being manufactured in a facility that is utilizing renewable green energy. It is specially  formulated using high quality natural ingredients making it over 90% all natural with all ingredients being of food grade and on the FDA's most safe list. It is hypoallergenic. Skin MD Naturals doesn’t  participate in animal testing nor does the lotion contain any animal products.

Would you like to try Skin MD Natural products before you buy them? If so, get your FREE samples now!
