Hello! I am Bibi 😉 ,the creator of Handmade Joy Boutique. On this blog ,i will share what inspires my creations, how the process works, and personal experiences from my journey as a small business owner. I hope you find inspiration and joy in my handmade items and discover helpful tips and ideas for your own creativity! 

I've been working with polymer clay as a hobby for several years. But last year , i made a big decision - i left my job to fully dedicate myself to this craft. Some people might call it a leap of faith; i call it diving headfirst into a pile of clay ( which , by the way , has happened more times than i'd like to admit ). But honestly, i just knew deep inside that this is what i truly want to do - it gives me energy, inspires me, and occasionally leaves my hands covered in random colors😁 

I'm sure there are many people who ,for one reason or another, have put aside what once made them feel alive. When i started turning my hobby into a business, i faced a lot of my own fears - like pricing my work (and is not only that unfortunately 😏😁) and had to deal with things i had always avoided, simply because they were new to me ( hello, marketing, my old enemy 😟😁)

  I stepped out of my comfort zone, and i continue to do so every day. It's not always easy-sometimes, it feels like my to- do list has a to-do list 😭😅😅- but i've realized that when i follow my passion and take the necessary steps to move forward, i grow and expand my mindset in ways i never imagined. And at the end of the day, nothing beats the joy of seeing someone smile because of something i created (except maybe a perfectly baked cake...but let's be real, i'd probably decorate that with polymer clay too😂😂)
