Sponsor of the Week{Mindy's Minute Market} | The CSI Project

Welcome back to another wonderful week here at The CSI Project. This also happens to be LOVE week so we are featuring all projects RED and LOVE inspired.

Do we have a great week planned for you? Oh yes, we do!!!

Each tutorial this week features craft supplies from

Mindy?s Minute Market.

?

If you haven?t discovered this website, then let me introduce you. This? is a great one stop shop for all of your crafting needs. This is a company that is a Deal a Day site?owned by 2 women who have a love for all things crafty. They are my kind of women.

Meet Nikki

And Courtney

?

These are the fabulous women behind, Mindy Minute Market.? Read all about them in their own words:

?We are two gals with a penchant for finding, making andbuying amazing things?that is if we get past the buying part. We are addictedto the latest crafting trends but not to the price tags.? Our quest to bring beauty to all brought usto the realization that bulk is cheaper. We can?t buy bulk on our own. (Ourhusbands will KILL us!) So, we are trying to make new friends that want toendeavor after the same crafts we do (and others- we are open to YOUR ideas,too!) while we spend less, accrue less and create more!?

We started as a means of bringing foot traffic through alocal builder?s model homes. Our area is full of local artisans and vendorsthat had very limited opportunity to showcase their work. We united the twoconcepts and Mindy Mae?s Market came to fruition. We?ve enjoyed getting to knowvendors and being a part of the ?creative crowd? as a business.

We noticed some trends in this crowd. Trend One: We think we can re-create everything. As folks walked around our boutiques and showcases we would hear, ?I can do that,? or ?I bet I could do that for less money?. TrendTwo: It?s rare that we EVER DO those things. Insert here whatever reason that that is, money, time, talent, ability, patterns, etc.? Trend Three: When we DO, DO these things we generally accumulate way more product(s) to justify the expense. We then haveto 1)store these items 2)give them to every neighbor we know 3) attempt to sellthem in some other way. This is all because we wanted to save a couple ofdollars on an item we wanted in the first place. So now, instead of saving acouple bucks you?ve spent more, time, effort and frustration than you everanticipated ?if you even complete the item.? This is how Mindy?s Minute Market was born.?

?We?ve decided to end the madness. We want people to be ableto DO things themselves and ONLY as much or as little as they want to.? That?s why it?s Mindy?s MINUTE Market. It can go two ways: minute as in small amounts or minute because that?s how long ittakes to make a purchase! We will follow trends on websites and blogs. Then we?ll take those trends and break them down in to affordable, manageable pieces. MMM willsell those pieces at a sane price and post ideas along with them.? We want to quit being craft supply hoarders.We want to actually complete the projects we have committed to and we bet you can relate. Think of us providing a public service to all craft supply junkies.Your husbands will thank us.

More friends, less clutter and more finished crafts?in a word, success.?

?I love this website because each day you can stop by and find craft inspiration and supplies to make the projects. This website has it all and for a crafter this really is a one stop shop. I have asked for some ideas for events going on in my life and this women have given me great ideas and all I need to do is order. Fantastic!

Here are a few examples of what you will find on the website.

Another thing I love about this craft site is the personal attention you get. I love that these ladies respond directly to you when you have a question and are always willing to help you. You just don?t get that kind of attention from other sites. Also, another bonus is on their Facebook page, you can see their daily features and great pices daily!!!
