Christmas Raffle!!

Exciting Stuff!! 

I'm am going to run a raffle for a Christmas Gift Basket!  Raffle tickets are only $1!!  The more raffle tickets sold the higher the value of the basket!  Tickets will be sold starting NOW until November 18th!  There is no limit to the amount of tickets you can buy!  =) 

So how does it work?
I will have actual raffle tickets that I will mail to you!  I have a big roll and I'll send you one and keep the other part with your name on it!  I will create a big jar to keep them all in and post pics of it for you to see every now and then so you can see the progress!  =) 

Purchasing tickets isn't the only way to earn one!! I will include one ticket for every purchase made through my facebook page!  I'll just include it in your shipment!  I will also be doing a few giveaways!  And as a member of my Item of the Month Club you'll be receiving some in your next shipment as well!!  =D  (Yes there are spots available for this Month! Just contact me for more info, or read the previous post!)

I would love suggestions as to what you'd like to see in the basket!  Depending on the value, I will include as many items as I can, most likely in a gender neutral theme.  There will also be a few items for mom as well! 

The Drawing for the basket will be held on November 25th, 2011 at 4:00pm PST!!  You do not have to be present to win.  I will announce the winner on my Facebook page!  The winning ticket will be drawn by one of my children!  There will also be 2 runner up prizes!!  Which will also depend on the number of raffle tickets sold.  These prizes will also be in the form of gift baskets, but a much lesser value. 

Please feel free to spread the word!  Remember, the more tickets sold the bigger the prize!!  To order your tickets please send an email to twoplusone2010@yahoo.com or simply use my contact tab on my facebook page. 

Lil' Bundle of Joy's Item of the Month Club Launch & Registration Information!! =)

Good Morning Everyone!

I know you are all just as excited as I am to learn about this new club!  I want to start out by saying I am also open to suggestions and love hearing your ideas! 

Here are the main points:
- Cost: $15 per month US  & $20 per month International, this price includes shipping!
- Open to anyone!  Don't have kids? No problem!  These items would make great gifts!! 
- Items will consist of toys, sensory items, nursery decor, just for mommy items, and a few suprises along the way! Mainly for infants and toddlers.
-Billing will be your choice, pay all at once or month to month.
-There are 4 options for sign up slots,  3 mo, 6mo, 9mo, or 12mo we will reevaluate each year.  =)

-Option to choose holiday themes! Baby's firsts too!  =)

I'm sure there are things I've missed!  So please don't hesitate to ask quesitons!  =)  I'm going to take registration forms all month, evaluate all the forms for head counts etc, then the first items will ship in October!  I will send out bills the first of every month, expect payments to be made by the 20th, I feel that gives ample time, I know all about paydays not lining up etc!

My Crazy Life

As I sit here tonight, I have to ask, does anyone else think that time goes by way too fast?  I feel as though the last few days have just flown by..... My hope was to put my shop on vacation for two weeks so I could finally make some new items!  But, I have 4 wholesale orders to complete first....

My motivation has flown the coop..... I took a day to veg, bad idea.... I have a strange pain in my left arm that wont go away....Makes it hard to want to sew like that.  I need to find a rhythm to juggle 3 kids, a hubby, and my business.  There have been quite a few days that I say, I need a job....I need to go back....But uh, HELLO! I'm doing what I love!  I just get bogged down by making the same thing over and over and over.....

So my solution is simple!  Sorta.... I closed shop so I could reorganize and stock pile.  No more made to order. Just ready made!  I'm going to spend a lot of time taking new photos next week and relisting.  Should I relist after the two weeks is over or open back up??  I don't want a ton of orders coming in while I'm working on new stuff, that's why I closed.  I have to finish this one wholesale order that I'm working on now, then the next few are a lot more simpler... And shouldn't take too long I hope.  I changed my graphics!  Let me know what you think!  I'm happy with them!  I have matching ones for all my shops now!  =)  

Yes, I have 3 shops!  I will put links to the other 2 once I put items in those!  One is a gift shop, with gift baskets and items for new babies and parents!  The other is like a supply shop, I am getting rid of a ton of craft supplies I never use and are taking up about 1/4 of my storage unit!  Those items may be going up as soon as next weekend!  Please let me know what you would think are essential items a new baby or new mommy would need/want.  I want to make sure my gift baskets are full of useful things!  =D  I've sold a few off line, worth $50, which included burp cloths, a bib, a tag blanket, a crinkle toy, and a hat.  I'm thinking of starting to sell embroidered onesies too, might be cute!  Please let me know what your ideas are!

That is all for now, I must hit the hay as they say....lots to do tomorrow!!  

It's Go Time!

As this being my very first blog ever I just want to say....Hi!  I hope that in the coming months you'll pop in often and follow me through my success and failure as I venture on as a new business owner!  There is a lot for me to learn, I welcome any recomendations on how to get my name out there! 

I am a self taught sewer.  Never took a class, was never shown how....I started sewing when the hubs and I recieved a sewing machine as a wedding gift.  I was truly inspired to start my own business when my son was born.  People kept saying how when you have 3 kids....but somehow, everything fell into place.  And here I am, 4 months in, already quit my "job" and am focusing on my business to the best of my ability.  I'm going places.  I have accomplished a step that many are too afraid to take.  Me, the one that never does anything for herself.  It can only keep getting better now right? 

Please take a moment and "like" my fan page and check out my etsy page! I will be having a giveaway very soon!  I'm also always open to suggestions of items you'd like to see or want.  I love doing custom orders for people, don't hesitate to ask!
