Hi guys!!! Or should I say LADIES !!! :) :)


I am working on a few reviews and one of them is absolutely super duper special to me in so many ways I cant describe.  


What reviews would you like to see here?  I would love some feedback please.  I am thinking of doing a couple linked pages with CLOTH DIAPERING 101 so anyone can find all the info they need when researching.  Sound good?  


I cant tell my secrets, but I bought an awful lot of materials the past couple days and I also bought a new sewing machine because the one I got for Christmas was ummmm not so great.  But this new one---- OHH YEAHH~~~~~~~~~




I wanted to introduce you to a new business associate of mine.  Her name is Erin and she is the owner & creator of Earthly Remedies.  Her products are composed of all natural ingredients and are all hand-made of course.  Currently we are taking orders for her Baby's Butt Wash, Baby's Butt Balm, and Baby's Butt Wash refill solution concentrate.  These are all products that coincide with what we here at Eebie Baby are trying to achieve, and that is a well rounded, safe, green option and home-made as much as possible.  We are also taking orders for her 'Room & Body' sprays.  You can find out more about Erin by clicking on her sponsor button down the left side of this page.  
So in essence, I want to welcome Erin to the Eebie Baby family, and I'd like you all to do the same if you will :)


Cheers

DEAL!  

THANK YOU AMBRIA!!!!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Hi Guys!!!!

I wanted to update to fill you in on what's been going on around here.  We have a lot of changes personally and with our business and although it's going to be bumpy for awhile, I think it'll all be great in the long run! 

We have made the decision to be a NOT IN STOCK store *I think I wrote this in another post, but dont quote me*   The decision is a hard one and as the weeks go by the hurdles do seem quite large, but at the same time it is apparent it is what we need to do as a business & as a family right now.  We live in a really REALLY teensy weensy small house (cottage like but with no storage or extra space) and you should have seen what it was like trying to keep stock organized.  I had a shelving unit & a few bins & it was in the corner of our bedroom and it was ghastly! Every time I needed to get stock from the bins I'd have to bring them all out and go through to find what I was looking for, luckily I know where everything is, but I still had to dig to get it. 
We also have to admit the fact that our family is looking at a ginormous cross country move and although we dont have an exact date, it looks like it will be before June or at least by June.  This will tear our family apart in a way because my husband more then likely will continue working out here in Alberta until he goes to school in Sept 2012.  We need to be saving money towards our move and towards any other happenings that come up, and stock sadly has to go!  For now!

I have high hopes for the area I am moving to with our business.  There is a specific place I am interested in that will allow me to actually open a store front and the price is all included.  Hmmmm... 

We have had a few WAHM business' joining on to our new program however due to their own personal circumstances they have had to back out.  I am on the hunt for products that are unique and made with Love.  Business' that I can be proud to promote & work with that will be able to bend and be flexible to different circumstances coming up.  A business has nothing to lose joining on with us except their initial whole sale price, and to me you cant beat having your products out there being showcased somewhere else, let the sales roll in !  

UPCOMING FUN:

Keep an eye out for some new pictures posted here and on our Facebook page.... I am working on some fun projects for my family members and will have them available for sale as well :) 

Keep an eye out for a new WAHB I have just started working with, their items will be available in our store cart very very soon!  The main page may give you a hint :)

Thanks for reading, and would love to hear feedback :)

Nifty Nappy is going out of Business

I took a few days to let it really sink in that my favourite WAHM business is going out of Business! I still dont know how to feel, and I wont even pretend I didn't shed a few tears. I haven't known Nifty Nappy long,and I consider myself very blessed to have been a part of their company even if is was at the very end. Vilate, owner of Nifty Nappy's had to make the undesirable decision to close their doors to cooperate with the new CPSIA ruling that is going to be affecting a LOT of wahm business' if they produce any products for children under the age of 12! Vilate promise's this isn't the last of her, and we'll be seeing her around, I believe that for sure!!! So, as a new retailer for NIFTY NAPPY I want to introduce our personalized Nifty Nappy Shopping Cart. You will be able to get your NN fix before their doors close. All instructions are listed here on this post, as well as in each product so there is NO misunderstandings. 

Instruction/Info: 

* All Nifty Nappy products are available at this time 

* All items are a custom order at this time, and as long as the fabric has not sold out, its yours! Please remember it is being custom made for you so it may take 4-8 weeks to actually receive your items, well worth it :) 

* Shipping is not calculated and listed as (free) until I receive your items. You are required to pay SHIPPING when I package and weigh them so that you only pay the exact amount. I will invoice you when I have your exact shipping amount. *** there are no exceptions to this except in town pick up or drop off , we are located in Edson Alberta ***

* 5 % discount on entire order for all new customers only! *** OFFER ENDS January 19th 2011****
* Buy 5 or more diapers, and get a woolie for a discounted price ( 10.00 %) ***OFFER ENDS January 19th 2011****


These diapers are the most amazing diapers I have ever used. Anyone I know who has them, cant live without them.  They are top of the line, excellent in every way and cute to boot! You just have to own at least one Nifty Nappy item (but I dont know how you'll stop at one)

January 10-17th FEATURE WAHM

We would like to introduce you to the Beautiful, Talented, Amazing: 

Lala (Layla) 
A.K.A 'THE BRONZE WILLOW' 

 Please run over and tell her You & Eebie say "HI" The Bronze Willow

 Our Eebie Baby Interview with Lala:

Q: Who is LaLa? 
A: Now, this is a loaded question! If you would've asked me this 2 years ago, I would've been completely clueless. Now?  I can proudly proclaim I am finally the person I was meant to be all along, the person I was searching for all these years...I am finally, after many struggles, a mother. Some people don't want to be defined by roles, but I welcome this one with open arms! I'm also a creator. I love to make things and there's no greater compliment than for someone to enjoy something I've created. I'm quirky with a sarcastic sense of humor that sometimes doesn't go over quite as well as I had hoped, so I apologize ahead of time. ;) There you have it: I'm a quirky, sometimes sarcastic, tender-hearted Mommy that likes to make things and always has a few projects in the works! Although I have a blast creating things for you to enjoy, I take it very seriously. It is my ultimate goal for everyone to adore every single product they ever purchase from me. 

Q: What products can we find and can you describe a few to us? 
A: Oh goodness...there's no telling what I'll have available at any given time but the core of my business revolves around scented products. I started out making soy wax tarts/melts/disks/blobs of wax and that lead to my fabulous hanging air fresheners, soy candles and various home fragrance items. Somewhere along the way, I began to make jewelry and added a full line of bath & body products as well as palm wax tarts. I've recently begun to sew, make hair bows and am excited about the custom picture frames I've made as gifts. I'm sure you'll see some of those soon! 

Q: Where are you located on a map,  And who do you live with? 
A: I was born and raised here in North Carolina (Go Tar Heels!!) and live with my handsome, patient husband and beautiful, if I do say so myself, little girl. 

Q: Any new products coming out? 
A:   Why, of course! I'm working on some magnetic air fresheners that are perfect for lockers. Can't hang it? Stick it! I have new soap poufs coming up and possibly a few decor items or hair bows as well. You just never know what's going to show up around here - the wheels are always turning! For example, I can't get the image of a pink and red ribbon wreath out of my head for Valentine's Day, so that's next on my "crafty list." 

Q: Why did you decide to make the items you do, and turn them into a business?
A:  I've always wanted to make candles. Always. An online friend sent me a pound of wax, a bottle of fragrance oil, a few tart-making instructions and I was hooked! I wasn't looking to start a business but I certainly wasn't going to turn it down when people began emailing me their orders. :) Six years later, here I am and loving every second of it! 

Q: If you could send your customers to one place to know the information about scents and colours of your smellies, where would you send them?


So, where can you find The Bronze Willow?
