Starting January 1st

2009-12-16T14:24:00.000-08:00

Due to a recent series of events, I will be cutting WAYYYY back on custom orders. My husband will be switching shifts & we are moving Jan 10th. Also, as many of you may not know, my older son was diagnosed with autism in Oct & has reached a point where he is need more & more attention. We are adjusting to the new diagnosis, though it doesn't come as a shock because we have known since he was 9mo old, it is still an adjustment to add more therapies & preschool. As he gets older, he is starting to realize he isn't the same as other kids his age & is not doing well with it. Thank you for all your continued support & keep an eye out for great in stock items!

Starting January 1st, I will mainly only be taking custom orders of letters. If you would like someting custom made, you will be able to request one. You will be able to purchase the same great items on either my hyena carts or in my etsy store premade in great prints! Please feel free to email with your requests for special items as I love to make new things & welcome a challenge!

Thanks for understanding!
Ashley

New Product!

2009-07-20T21:29:00.000-07:00

Ok so really it's a twist on an old product but it's now my favorite!

Knit over soakers!

Basically it's an extremely cute knit material (very very popular prints in the cloth diaper world) over my fleece soakers- which to remind you is the underwear looking fleece bottoms. These are great to wear anytime of day- I love to dress my boys in these! I have matching shirts & they make the CUTEST outfits! I also love that for the just in case leaks that can happen (try a 2yr old downing 32oz of water right before an hr drive- EEK) because his seat didn't get wet- only his little bottoms! & the best part is that they can go into the wash with the normal clothes- not like other cloth diaper covers that generally need to be washed a special way!

So here's how the pricing works-

NB : $12.73
SM : $13.76
MD : $14.79
L : $15.82
XL : $16.85

These do not include shipping, but weigh less than 13oz so they can go first class* so shipping will be between $1.50 & $3.50.

These outfits include a shirt (you pick the size) & the bottoms- for the girly ones, you can add an interchangeable headband with flower/bow for $3.

& without further ado-

The fabrics: (a few more to come in the near future!!!)

The outfits: Any of these can be recreated or purchased!

Pink & Lime Ooga Booga

Red Robots (can be bought HERE)

Blue & Orange Ooga Booga

Mint Chocolate Zoo (can be purchased HERE)

Chocolate Iced Giraffe

Ok I have had quite the week here! Aside from the 4 therapies a week for my son, this past week My husband got his wisdom teeth out & we traded one vehicle for another vehicle & I completed my first wholesale order! Which leads me into...

Sharni from the Nappy Shoppe is such a talented mama! We "met" through the gDiapers yahoo group where they can only sing her praises about how much they love everything she does! Basically Sharni has a site that can explain anything & everything you need to know about cloth diapering. She offers many options- all personally tested by her sweet 16mo old. Sharni has been through it all- She had her first child in 1987 in Australia (why her shop is called nappy shoppe) & use the little squares & pins like you think of when someone says cloth diapers- now that she is on her 4th, she has used a ton of different kinds-

But she doesn't only sell cloth diapers- she sells diaper bags, quilts &... drum roll please.... my mama cloth bags! So look for them in the coming day! If you have ever considered using cloth- check out Sharni's site- she explains it all right here!

Jennifer from Hand Picked Daisy is so incredibly talented- I look at her visiting teaching kits & I just think wow... & I can't try to explain! She also makes awesome sunday totes to keep the little ones interested & entertained during church. There is much more to her than these but she says it best!

"I got started by making Visiting Teaching kits a year ago from March. I started selling them at a local boutique when every month I sold more and more. I decided to put them on the Internet last July and my business just exploded! It was so exciting and rewarding to see women buy something I made! Since then I have been growing more and more each month.

I just love to create and I'm having so much fun doing it! My favorite item's are the Visiting Teaching kits. Each month is a new kit and it keeps me on my toes with coming up with new creations.

I have other items that I make and sell as well as the Visiting Teaching kits. Items for Primary, Young Women's, and Relief Society. I also make lots of gifts for the Christmas holidays too."

Check these ladies out!

New Store Opening!

2009-07-15T14:52:00.001-07:00

Ok I have put a lot of time & effort into gathering up these great WAHMs & coming up with a store & I want to spread the love!

King Kongo opened at 1pm EST today! YAY! It's all about the boys! (not that we don't love boys but...) Many of us only have boys & were finding it difficult to get cute things for them! Well no more will that be a hassle! come check us out!

KING KONGO

PS new sponsor post & another new item to be added later this week!

Great Deal!

2009-06-23T16:57:00.001-07:00

Ok I have to give a shout out to my favorite diapers ever!

Did you know that the average disposable diaper stays in a landfill for 500years?

Gdiapers are a great alternative to disposables & cloth- they are a super cute cover found in a variety of colors, with a snap in nylon liner & have the option to use a cloth insert or a flushable insert- which can also be just tossed- without the guilt of leaving it for 500 years! These inserts are comparable in price to disposables & are great if you aren't sure you want to do cloth but are tired of the leaks from disposables, the perfumes & the chemicals!

I have a great promotion going on right now- They have this great everyday pack of 6 covers- 3 vanilla & 3 orange that is offered for $70- which is still a great price- but I have a code that will take $30 off! That means you get 6 covers for $40! That is less than $7/cover! These are great for everyday use, or to test if you will like them! That great code is

g745Beal

I can also offer anyone who emails me letting me know they used my code, a $2 off coupon- you can take these to your local Babies R Us & get $2 off any product- There is a limited amount available so the first 10 to email will recieve them!

I Absolutely LOVE my gdiapers- they are seriously the best thing ever! So versatile & what a great way to start being more greeen!
