Hello friends! I'm Aleks, from Aleks Handmade (and A Slocum Story). We are a small handmade business located in central Indiana. What started as a hobby of sewing turned into a love for all things fabric (and poly-fil)! Although we don't have children of our own, yet, we love to create treasures for tiny hands. Whether it is for imaginative play using aprons and softies or dress up in our ruffle skirts, we custom create every item. We offer custom orders in any color or pattern. We also carry a line of super soft hand-knit cowls (knit by me, of course) for girls and women of any age!

Stuff a stocking and encourage pen-to-paper communication with this {not sent from my iPhone} stationery set of five cards from Red Letter Paper Company. RLPCo makes Christian cards with a modern edge, and each card they make has a verse on the back. These say, "Here am I. Send me." Isaiah 6:8. RLPCo was started in 2010 by Stephanie after she and her husband wanted simple, modern-looking Christmas cards that still shared the message of Christ's birth. Now RLPCo has expanded into cards for every occasion and art prints for your walls, too. Whether you're looking for a gift or still need your Christmas cards, use the code SHIPFREE for free shipping through Dec. 7!

Lastly is my little shop Bliss Baby Designs. I am a one mom shop and my items are handmade individually with love. I tediously look over each item and make sure its up to snuff before packaging up, praying over it and sending it off to its new home. What a blessing my customers are to me as they are the heart of my business. I love posting discount codes randomly on my Facebook page so be sure to keep watch! My motto is to put 'A little bliss in every memory'! I make jewelry, hairpieces and so much more!
