Mid-Michigan-Based Online Boutique Opens

LINDEN -- There is a new online boutique with origins in mid-Michigan.

Made from the Heart Custom Designs, LLC was started by Debbie and Tony LaJoice of Linden, making a long time dream of theirs come true.

What started out as a hobby has evolved into a promising business venture. Debbie LaJoice has been creating various crafts for more than 40 years and specializing in silk floral arrangements, greeting cards, paper based crafts, and home/seasonal/special occasion accents. She also has over 25 years of clerical and bookkeeping experience.  Tony LaJoice has created personalized items since his high school years. He has held managerial roles in the food industry for 29 years. Together they have planned, organized, and implemented parties for special occasions for over 30 years. In 2012 the two fused together their strengths and applied their business online launching their new Website www.HeartCustomDesigns.com designed and developed by 3Sixty Interactive of Fenton.

Made from the Heart Custom Designs is an all-inclusive boutique for bridal showers, baby showers, unique gifts, and more. There are various shower themes to choose from that offer essential, deluxe, and elite kits. These kits give their customers everything that is needed to host a shower for 20 people. Free booklets of food menu suggestions, game suggestions, and a gift log are also included in each kit. The bridal shower themes are completely customized to each individual bride according to either the couple's wedding colors or home décor colors.

The handcrafted gift line includes gifts for special occasions, the home, and includes a jewelry line. These gifts are crafted either by the LaJoices or one of several crafters they purchase from. A majority of the gifts are also able to be customized with special colors and designs.

You can also visit them on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/Made from the Heart Custom Designs and Pinterest at www.pinterest.com/madefromthehrt.

Whether you're looking for a shower party kit (several of which have over 386 pieces), a creative handcrafted gift, they have what you are looking for.  And everything is made from the heart, where your custom design starts.
