The time has come when kids go back to school, although I know we DON’T want them to go back (cough, cough). Okay, so maybe the kids are a little excited to go back into school mode of having to wake up early, getting ready for school and catching the bus.

Either way, there are so many great things about going back to school. From getting new clothes, shoes and my favorite: School Supplies! Oh how the lists of supplies has grown. Today I want to include and feature some awesome entrepreneurs that have used their talents and have created these amazing items that are perfect for back to school.

These shops are in no way affiliates or have paid me to feature their shops and aren’t listed in any particular order. Pay them a visit and help support handmade!

Let’s meet the Creators and Designers

This mommy of three, Elizabeth, owner and creator of Naptime Craze Designs offers quality handmade items at affordable prices like these chic planner accessories:
