			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Thank you all for taking such good care of our sponsors. I have had terrific feedback from them! Please take a moment to visit their sites! I think you will find that they each have something unique to offer.</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefineartoffamily.com/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4463" title="fine-art-of-family-logo" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/fine-art-of-family-logo.jpg" alt="" width="435" height="30" /></a></p>
<p>This company makes some amazing jewelry. This is  jewelry that will become a family keepsake passed down from generation to generation. <a href="http://www.thefineartoffamily.com/">The Fine Art of Family</a> is always in fashion at this beautiful web site featuring the distinctive lockets and image case jewelry and gifts of professional photographer and designer Monica Rich Kosann.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/lockets-1-350.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4460" title="lockets-1-350" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/lockets-1-350.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="379" /></a></p>
<p>Monica is a gallery-exhibited photographer specializing in black and white portraiture of children and families. Inspired by her visits to antique shops and flea markets, Monica would find and refurbish vintage lockets, compacts and cigarette cases and use them as gifts to display her client&#8217;s photos.</p>
<p>When demand grew, she began creating her own line these modern day heirlooms, many by the original craftsmen who created the vintage pieces. These distinctive vintage-inspired pieces are designed to be passed down to the next generation.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/locket-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4459" title="locket-2" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/locket-2.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="542" /></a></p>
<p>A favorite of A-listers from Katie Holmes to Madonna,the jewelry is available in Sterling Silver or 18K Gold, and designs range from a traditional two picture locket detailed with Monica&#8217;s signature floral pattern to an embellished half locket on a black silk cord to bracelets that showcase four or more your favorite little faces.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/bracelet-350.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4457" title="bracelet-350" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/bracelet-350.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="309" /></a></p>
<p>In addition to the jewelry, there are wonderful gifts and home accessories such as Sterling Silver image cases that can be tucked into Dad&#8217;s briefcase, key chains, money clips, hand-engraved frames and custom items to commemorate a milestone event.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/travel-picture-frame.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4458" title="travel-picture-frame" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/travel-picture-frame.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="231" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/scissorscuttingdottedline.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4453" title="scissorscuttingdottedline" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/scissorscuttingdottedline.jpg" alt="" width="485" height="63" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.peekaboopaperie.com/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4399" title="peekaboo_home_04" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/peekaboo_home_04.gif" alt="" width="213" height="61" /></a></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t wait until the last minute this year! Get your <a href="http://www.peekaboopaperie.com/index.php?id=holidays">holiday cards</a> ready to go now. This year <a href="http://www.peekaboopaperie.com/">Peek-a-boo Paperie</a> set out to design a holiday card line that takes a fresh look at an old tradition. Throughout the line they have maintained a fun festive edge to really make people&#8217;s photos stand out!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/xmas_deer1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4396" title="Print" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/xmas_deer1.jpg" alt="" width="420" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Peek-a-boo Paperie came about when Jill set out to design a birth announcement for her niece that really reflected her little personality. Jill&#8217;s niece was introduced to their family and friends as being &#8220;Born to Rock&#8221;. In the process of creating that announcement she discovered a passion for designing cards that are fun, whimsical and really speak to the animated nature of babies.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/boy_rocker.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4397" title="boy_rocker_outlines" src="http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/boy_rocker.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="420" /></a></p>
<p>Peek-a-boo Paperie is also the first birth announcement site where parents can literally drag photos of their babies onto the announcement and resize / rotate the photos online. This way you can see how your photos will appear in the announcement as well as pick and choose which photos you want to use.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>I would like to introduce three new sponsors for Skip to my Lou. I can&#8217;t thank them enough.  These sponsors will help with the fees to keep this blog going, help pay for crafty supplies and provide just a little money for my family (ie. helps to justify the time I spend on the computer). I hope this site can grow (ie. make sharing crafty ideas a job for me) So if you like the ideas you find here at Skip to my Lou, please pay these sponsors a visit and see what they have to offer.</em></p>
<p><em>If you are interested in becoming a sponsor please <a href="mailto:cindyhopper@gmail.com">e-mail me</a>.</em></p>
<p>First up, <a href="http://www.createdbymom.com/"><strong>Created by Mom</strong></a></p>

<p>Motherhood is truly divine, but it can be difficult to remember that while covered in spit up, drowning in dirty dishes &amp; stressing over making ends meet.   Often moms start their own businesses as a way to have more time at home with their families.  The <a href="http://www.createdbymom.com/"><span style="color: #000000;">createdbymom.com chic boutique</span> </a>is a classy place for moms to sell the products they have created, while also enjoying the famous mom-vendor discount (20% off any other item in the boutique!).</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.createdbymom.com/">Createdbymom.com Chic Boutique</a> was created by a mom to support moms everywhere, creating what they love and succeeding, selling their products in a mom-friendly environment.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.thespottedbox.com">The Spotted Box</a>, a collective box of family-oriented, eco-friendly samples and gift certificates from independent crafters, all packaged together and sent directly to you!   Each box contains at least 25 different samples and gift certificates from some of the vendors named in the box listings. These are sample-sized products, some are just a single use item, and others are larger. Each month it changes depending on the artisan participants. Check out all of the fun items that will be sampled in the <a href="http://www.thespottedbox.com/november2008.html">November box</a>.  Your next chance to purchase a box is beginning at noon EST on November 15th.  Once they are sold out, boxes will not be listed until the next month.<br />
