Fun Stuff: Skidders

As I was mosying through Target Boutique the other day I came across these:

They are called Skidders. They are sock shoes for babies and toddlers.

Needless to say, these shoes jumped into my shopping cart and rode home with me.

They easily slide on like socks and they have flexible rubber soles to protect cute little tootsies.

My little guy loves his new shoes, and I love that putting his shoes on isn't a wrestling match anymore.

Win, Win.

"Beat It" giveaway winner!

I can't say I'm thrilled with my last giveaway. With only 9 contest entries I think I need to do a new giveaway to redeem my last attempt. lol.  You live and you learn, eh?

The good news is that each entry had a 1 in 9 chance of being picked. So lots of love for the fans who entered the "beat it" onesie giveaway.  Thank you!

And our winner is. . .

"I really like all your designs, love the chick magnet. I would like to see one that says PARTY CRASHER. Jake has always called our boys that because they were not technically invited."



BTW Heather, your idea is so cute! I hope to make a design with it and maybe we will see it in our shop.
Thank you to all who entered and keep you eyes open for our next giveaway.
I'm thinking. . . Blossoms!

NEW DESIGNS!

New designs! New designs!

I finally posted these designs in our shop today!

The "Brightest Crayon in the Box" Toddler Tee

And our brand new "Depth of Love" design.
I love this one so much! I have already printed 2 of my own shirts with this design! I have a new tshirt style for this design too and I really like the fit! It is a tshirt with a feminine cut.

Come check out our new designs in our Etsy shop!

Love for the new black tees!

New Black tshirts! The color difference is so dramatic!
Ryan digs his new Robot tee! I couldn't get him to take it off after we finished pictures. Oh well, looks like he has a new shirt to add to his wardrobe.
You can have one now too! The black and navy are the most dramatic when printed with the dye remover. I'm loving the new black!

Say Cheese!

It's photo day at our house and I can't wait to post pics of some new stuff! Yippee! Wish me luck. Hope my kids cooperate!

If you have any tips for child photography, feel free to post them here. Our readers, (and especially me) can use some helpful tips!

And now we have a full shop and lots of room to grow! I'm working on some fabulous new designs right now and I CANNOT WAIT to get them in my shop! Oh, why does it have to take so long! I wish I could take my ideas from my head and stick them straight into Etsy. Maybe it's the laziness in me, or maybe I just get so excited about our new stuff I need to show it to the world right now!

A slice of Whippy Cake!

What do you get when you mix a seriously talented chica, fabulous fabrics, a bit of bling, and a little sugar and spice?

You get Whippy Cake!

First of all, the name Whippy Cake is so mouthwateringly adorable that it's makes you want to say it again!

Whippy Cake!
(P.S. If you want to know the story behind the name go here and click on "About Me".)

Becki, the creator of this marvelous company, is my super talented friend!
 When I met Becki I was really surprised to find out that she is a lot like me! We both are obsessive crafters/moms, who love, LOVE to try new things!

She has some oh-so lovely items available in her Shop.

Everything from fabulous textured wipey cases,

 to cupcake jewelry,

 and her newest additions: Glamour Bands and Chokers.

They are all beautiful and well made.

Becki has been one of my greatest inspirations for Cantaloupe Corner too. She has been here to help me before Cantaloupe Corner even had a name. Thanks Becki!

Go check out Whippy Cake and see why I think it's sweeter than a Strawberry Cream Cheese Cupcake with sprinkles on top!

(mmmm, this is making me hungry.)
