My name is Tahirah and I just started a niche craft company that designs and creates a host of treasures. Currently I've been dividing my time between a line of hair bows and a line of custom invitations and announcements. I have lived in Georgia about 13 years, and I am originally from NJ. I truly have a passion for creating & designing keepsakes that can be enjoyed by everyone, and Eclectique Soul Paper & Gifts was created with the goal to" Celebrate the Individual in You".
Those are basics, but to get a better picture of the person that I am or as I often like to say the Jeopardy questions. I'll share a few insights.....
1. I am a happily married SAHM with a little boy (he's 2yrs old).
It may seem weird that I love designing new hair bows, but I suppose its the little girl in me.
2. I do the majority of my creating after midnight when every ones sleeping, to the movie "Transformers". Its strange but true, I'm no Science fiction fan (I tend to lean towards musicals and old classics... I find a lot of ideas there), and yet I can watch that movie Over, and Over, and over. For a while there I found myself quoting lines in my everyday life!
3. Some of the best gifts I've ever received from my husband were gift certificates to Joanns and Micheals, two of my favorite stores. It makes it seem like every time I go its Christmas and My Birthday, and theres no credit card bill at the end of the month. Yeah!
4. Ice Cream as I've said on many occasions is in fact a major food group!
I have had people disagree and try and tell me differently. I've met people who have tried to sway me towards cookies, cupcakes, cake or even pie but to their chagrin Ice cream ALWAYS comes out on top. When I had my son, co workers gave me gift certificates to Bruesters Ice Cream. Now it probably didn't help with losing the baby weight, but would I complain? :)
I mean I'll make decisions on where to eat out based on the dessert menu.
5. Coach, Prada, Bottega....not me....... I have carried some type of Hello Kitty purse everyday for the past 9 years. Big, little, pink, blue, long strap, short strap it doesn't matter to me. When I had to upgrade to a "Mommy purse" a few years back. You know, the one that's as big as a backpack, has pockets and "caves" so deep that you could probably loose a small dog in it and weighs as much as a small child. I was able to find a new Hello Kitty purse that met my needs to carry extra bottles, pacifiers, crayons and small toy trains. They make me HAPPY, and keep me young. I generally get them from the local Sanrio store, or as gifts.
Well, that's plenty for now. I hope to continue to share my creations and a little bit of myself as Eclectique Soul continues to grow.
I'd love to hear from you, so drop me a line!
