Begin again...fresh start! 06/23/2010
Long time, no post....but no more! High time I kick-start my blog...and kick myself back into gear. Lots of changes, beginning with a new website design. I'm also delving into more items for your home in addition to adding to my products for children. So, to begin this fresh start, I'm offering a sweet deal in my Etsy shop - Free Shipping - worldwide! No special code or coupon needed. Keeping it easy-peasy...all items reflect the $0 shipping. This is the perfect time for moms to gear up with on-the-go creative fun for their kids, especially during summertime vacation travels. And to top it off - no batteries required. Love that!

Can you believe it? 2009 is over half in the past. Kids are gearing up for the return to school, including my miss Lillian who becomes a big kindergartener! Perhaps it's the 100 degree temps the last few days that have me thinking about the holidays...and snow! The holidays will be upon us before we know it. If hostess gifts are on your list or if you're hosting a holiday dinner yourself, The Write Coasters™ are a festive, unique gift idea. Give your guests something to write about and never lose their drinks! These chalkcloth coasters are a unique way to do both. Write your name to claim your drink spot. Use as place cards for a table setting. Write “conversation starters” on them for your next dinner party. Draw a picture. Be creative.Show your own personal style. Then, pour a fabulous drink and say "Cheers!"  Summer Bubbles! 07/27/2009
I love polka dots. They're fun..happy...and always remind me of childhood. My daughter Lilly's wardrobe has polka dots bouncing all over it. I just can't resist a cute polka dot pattern!   ...and #5 is our very own Dine.n.Doodle chalk mat! I am quite honored to have my product included on this short list, especially when games, like Monopoly and Scrabble, are among the items. What sweetens this even more is that in my former corporate life, iVillage.com was my place of work and to think they are now promoting one of my products makes me smile. Pretty cool, huh? Life really does come full circle! Get your kids ready for fun summer travels by checking out the complete slide show: http://tinyurl.com/mp6yx3. Keep the Good News Coming! 07/15/2009
What a fun surprise! Just happened to check on my store on Artfire.com and was greeted with the sight that my Children's Toile chalk mat was "The Item of the Hour." Naturally, I had to take a screen shot of it. It's not every day you get front screen promotion! Thanks, Artfire!  Yart Sale Time! 06/07/2009
Oh boy! It's been months since I last posted on my blog, which just goes to show you how busy life has been. Between my daughter Lilly's preschool & playdate activities (ah the busy life of a nearly 5-year-old) and creating new items for Lil.B.Designs, I'm lucky to get dinner on the table and folded laundry put away. Summer is now here (yay!), which means I have an even better excuse for avoiding housework and the perfect reason for having a yard sale! So, before I pilfer through my garage for hot ticket items to sell, I'll start with my Lil.B.Designs shop. This coming week, Etsy is hosting its 2nd annual "Yart Sale" (Art + Yard Sale = Yart!) and I'm joining the fun because, seriously, who doesn't like a good deal these days. During the Yart Sale days, I'm offering FREE SHIPPING worldwide. That's like saving on gas by not having to drive to the store AND having it delivered right to you (not to mention the added bonus of shopping in your PJ's). Stress free. Postage free. Got to love that!  Sale Ends 2.9.09! 02/01/2009
 Final week!  "Save Handmade" Promotion! 01/09/2009
 SAVE HANDMADE! Starting TODAY! Visit ShopEtsyBABY.com/CPSC.htm for hundreds of special promotions on fabulous, unique, and safe items for your children from incredibly talented handcrafters. We hope this promotion will bring further awareness to the new Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, which goes into effect on February 10, 2009. We all agree that we need safe products for our children; however, as it is written, this law will most certainly put thousands of small businesses and handcrafters out of business due to the certification and labeling requirements and exorbitant testing costs. |  {about me}
