This fine lady, who shares my love of creepy crawlies, vampires & grisly things, runs a One-stop Shop for Personalized Thank-yous. Baby Showers, wedding Showers, Bachelorette, Birthday even Divorce Showers!
Take a look at some of her Just-fright-for-Halloween Customizations
So herrrre’s... Emily!
So, really, who Are you?
I was recently introduced by an old friend as "fun, interesting, well-read, cultured, crass, potty-mouthed...(with a) crippling addiction to chocolate and proper grammar." I'm not sure about the interesting or cultured part, but I do know that he forgot to add "aliens" to my addictions list. Crass and potty-mouthed are pretty true, but I try to keep it fun and appropriate in public.
You are custom-friendly –
not just lipbalms & lotions- also cards, tulle,- Bath gel favors!
And I utterly love your labels.
What made your head spin into all of
this?
My degree is in biology and my first
(and only) "real"
job
was in a biotech lab, where I manufactured vaccine. I left to pursue an
interest in design, starting a graphic and web design business that I
could grow from home. Eight years (and two kids) later, I started
creating designs for my own products instead of other businesses'. I set
up a home "lab" and started with lip balms personalized for weddings,
since several of my previous clients had been in the wedding industry.
Things have just grown from there. I think having my own wedding
canceled at the last minute (speaking of scary, grisly stories!) has
motivated me to help make other events perfect.
Other customizables include Moisturisers, Sugar Scrubs, Mini Pedicure Sets and lots of other goodies.

What’s cooking
for Halloween?
How did you know I've been busy with my cauldron?!
This fall I've brought back some of our popular Limited Edition lip balm
flavors from last year, including Caramel Corn and Ginger Pear, as well
as old favorites like Jack-o-lantern and Candy Corn.
Our Pumpkin Pie
moisturizers are also back, and a new Ginger Pear fragrance that's to
DIE for (just what you need on Halloween!).

| Crazy customization, did you say? |
What would be one crazy customization?
I get some really fun
requests for customization, but this was one of my all-time favorites.
People don't believe it, but yes, this was for a real baby shower!
(Just
might need to go watch "The Omen" again now.)
What is Pink lady?
Pink Lady is our line of products with a cause.
We
introduced them several years ago and they're available year-round, but
definitely most popular during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.
For every Pink Lady balm, favor, or moisturizer sold, we donate $1 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
We also create a Limited Edition Pink Ribbon balm every year that's only available in October.
This year's flavor is Pink Kisses, a cherry-vanilla balm that also benefits Susan G. Komen.

What is your motto in life?
When I was a kid, my
grandmother had a little plaque on her wall that said, "It's nice to
be
important, but it's more important to be nice." I'm inspired by lots
of
other mantras and mottos, but I think this one made the biggest
impression on me. There's a lot of emphasis on being important, but I
find that the people I remember and appreciate the most are just plain
nice. Whatever else I am, I want to be that, too.
Share an
anecdote about your products?
Some of my favorite stories are
customer comments.
Recently someone told me I was her "new best friend."
Last spring a mom-of-the-groom said she'd "love me forever" if I would email a proof to her (something I do for everyone, but I let her feel special!).
My favorite, though, would have to be the planner who ordered some favor samples for a bride she was working with. The bride explained that she did NOT want "throwaway" wedding favors. The planner called me afterward to say they were a hit: the bride tried the balm and said, "No one throws THESE favors!"
