About my diaper cakes...

2010-02-12T19:18:00.000-06:00

Diaper cakes are a great gift to give, for any mother! They are full of one of the most essential items needed for any baby! Diapers!! And its so much better to give them in a "cake" then just handing them a package of diapers! These can be made to fit any theme and budget. Take a look around my blog, see if you find something that works, if not, let me know what you have in mind, and I'll help you out!!

All of my cakes are made with SZ 2 Pampers Swaddlers, if you'd like something else, let me know. All of my diapers are reusable, nothing is done to damage the diapers. They are held together with various items, depending on what I'm creating. It could contain rubberbands, safety pins and straight pins. My diapers are "fanned" out on the board, not rolled, which makes it easier for the person receiving it to take it apart. Just remove the ribbon from the outside, any accessories attached and place the diapers in a stack, and they are ready to be used.

All of my "cakes" can be personalized with cardstock, scrapbook stickers etc.. like these. free of charge..

I'll use coordinating materials to do this.. If you dont know it a name it could just read Baby Girl/Boy, Last name, or any special quote or saying you like.. Bible verse? etc... As long as I can make it fit in the space, I can use it!!

All of my items can be shipped, if you aren't personalizing the materials (blanket, bibs, onesies etc) I can have your items completed in 3-5 business days after receiving your order, and shipped via UPS or USPS Priority Mail. Please allow 7-10 business for you to receive your item. Want something personalized? I can do that as well for an extra charge, please allow up to 7 extra business days for that.

I will deliver free of charge to anywhere within a 15 mile radius from my home or place of employment.

I'll also deliver to local hospitals as well!

All of my items come wrapped in tulle, and finished off with coordinating ribbon/flowers.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions!!

I look forward to doing business with you!!

Craft Fairs.

2009-10-22T07:02:00.002-05:00

Does anyone out there have any experience with them? I’ve been told by many people that it was something I should pursue, to try and get more business brought in. I’ve researched some in the area, as far as prices, set up etc.
Since I’m just starting up I was trying to think of a way to do this, without having a lot of overhead. Could I make some samples of what I can do, bring along pictures of other ones, and then just take orders? Or do I need to have a large variety on hand, for people to buy then and there?
If you’re in the DFW area and know of any coming up let me know about them! I’d love your feedback on the questions above.. and if you have links to your booth set up, I’d love it!

Coming soon.. and ideas..

2009-10-16T11:38:00.002-05:00

Over the next week I'll be creating a few new pieces... I'm going to work on a fall towel cake, that would work great to give to a hostess at a party your going to, centerpieces etc.. A few Christmas Ideas I have in mind for towel cakes, they would make great Christmas gifts.. and then a Spa Cake.. they would be great for bridal showers, birthday gifts, Christmas gifts for coworkers etc..

I'm also going to try my hand at Tutu's this weekend! My daughter needs one for Halloween so no better time to try then now! :-)

I've had a lot of visitors to this site since I put my link on Kelly's Show Us your Life post. That's exciting!! I'd like to know your opinions! Please leave me a comment letting me know you were here! And hwat kind of giveaway I could try, to get more people to my site!

Thank you...

4 Williams Sonoma Dischloths

4 Williams Sonoma Kitchen Towels

1 Ceramic Cross

1 Black Wire Bowl

Candle

and a picture frame.. please note..

after this picture was taken and I started assembling it,

I realized that frame just didn't go! It was one of the 1st pieces I grabbed

when out shopping, and then found the bowl

and loved it.. so anyway.. I went and bought a new one

that you'll see below.. Just didn't take a new picture

of the "ingredients"

$70

This is a Housewarming Gift

the recipients last name starts with a

"W" so I thought it would be cute

to do a little something in the frame.

6 pc Kitchen Towel Set

6 pc Dishcloth set

5 pc Bamboo wooden Spoon set

1 kitchen scrub brush

1 Stoneware Pie Pan

$50

Both of these were custom orders

I could duplicate most of the items

Longhorns Diaper Cake.. with a surprise! :-)

The babies room is done up in the Longhorns Theme, so imagine

the look on my husbands face when I told him.

My husband happens to be a huge OU fan. :-)

Included in this cake is approx 50 size 2 Pampers,

a Onesie and a Longhorns Football.

$60.00

OH.. but being that these are friends of ours..

Looking for something for your little sports fan?

Pricing for the "cakes"...

2009-10-04T11:05:00.005-05:00

This Towel Cake was made for a friends wedding. Included in this are 2 bath towels, 2 hand towels, 2 washcloths, a pillar candle, a ceramic cross, picture frame, and a scented Sachet.. Decorated with ribbons, flowers and wrapped in tulle.. This exact one would go for about $95. I do ship, and shipping for this via UPS would be $20. I could do a simple one with just flowers, ribbon and a candle for about $80.

This was a custom cake done for a friend, this cake included a custom made bib and personalized blanket, approx 70 size 2 Pampers, bottle of shampoo, 6pc travel set to toss in the diaper bag and the praying rabbit toy topper.. finished off with matching ribbon and flowers. This would go for $125. I am not certain I could duplicate this 100%, but do have access to someone that has a large variety of fabrics to choose from and could get close. This would require 2 wks to complete due to being all custom made. and would ship for $15 via UPS.

Below are my smaller more simple cakes.. They include approx 70 size 2 pampers and a topper. The one has booties on top, and the other is topped off with a cute pink and white bunny. They are finished off with matching ribbons and flowers. And on the bunny one I added a cute rhinestone cross that could be removed and kept for a necklace or charm bracelet. These go for $60 and would be $15 to ship.

These cakes are similar to whats above, they just include more goodies.. :-) They have approx 70 size 2 pampers, a bottle of shampoo, a 6 pc travel set to toss in the diaper bag. These include varying items.. blanket, receiving blanket, onesie, sleeper, hat, socks, bibs.. etc. Pacifiers, teething toys. I just look for whatever I can find in the theme being requested. These go for $95 and cost $15 to ship.

I can do something to meet almost any budget, and theme. Just contact me and I'll help create your special piece...

The diaper cakes are great for corporate gifts, several people can pitch in on one and give it to there coworker. They make great centerpieces for your shower your hosting. Can be brought to the hospital to congratulate a new mother, I can ship it directly to the recipients house along with card for you.

The Towel cakes can be done up a number of ways. I could do a small one with kitchen towels and dishcloths (some examples coming soon).. to give to a new neighbor, housewarming gifts, clients of yours as a thank you gift. The Towel cakes could be given as wedding gifts, bridal showers, new college student etc.. The possibilities are endless!!

Below I mentioned a giveaway.. Unfortunately I haven't had anyone participate in it. So I'll have to think of something else!!

Thanks for stopping by.. I love reading new blogs, so leave me a comment letting me know you were here.

Carrie

My first giveaway....

2009-09-26T20:42:00.003-05:00

I've been trying to come up with ideas on how to get more people to my site.. I've emailed (spammed) my family and friends.. I've plastered it all over my Facebook...

Another blogger commented that maybe I should do a giveaway.. and that's a great idea.. SOO I'm going to give it a shot!!! I'm currently holding a PartyLite Candle Catalog party (if your in the DFW area and your interested in looking, msg me and I'll give you a link for an online catalog!)... Ok.. so back to the giveaway... I've decided that I'm going to giveaway a $25 GC for Partylite.. What do you have to do to win this? I'd like for you to do a quick blogpost on your site about my site here at http://www.southerngalsboutique.blogspot.com/ to get visitors here. After you make a post to your blog, just come back to this post, and leave me a comment letting me know that you've highlighted me in one of your posts... I'll then draw a name at random, and that person will win a GC. My show closes on October 15th, so I'll place the order then! So you'll have your GC in your hands around the end of October.

I'll close this contest on October 5th.... Good luck... :-)

Oh.. and I also thought that some people might like to see a picture of me.. who they are dealing with when highlighting my website... so here you go..

This is me and my husband, picture taken a few weeks ago by www.sdsphotography.com

And just so you know..

I've been contacted several times about my cakes I've shown on my site. All of my orders are custom orders, so what's shown on my site, are just examples of what I can do. Some of them I can duplicate exactly, but some of them have items that are no longer found. I've heard, I love that towel cake but I don't know anyone getting married.. Towel cakes would be a great idea for many occassions.. Maybe you want a small kitchen towel set to give to your new neighbor as a welcome gift? Or a towel cake for someone that just headed off to college? A Bridal Shower, wedding, housewarming gift?.. Maybe your a real estate agent and send gifts to your customers? I could do a small kitchen towel cake for you.. the ideas are endless!!

Best Buddies Diaper Cake

2009-09-23T16:16:00.004-05:00

This is a diaper cake I made for a lady at church several months ago. I'm trying to find pictures of all of the ones I've done over the years to give everyone an idea on what I can do!!
I'm also trying to research places to solicit to try and sell some of them.. and potential clients to reach out too.. Like Real Estate Agents, I could make small kitchen towel cakes for housewarming gifts.. those would also be great for housewarming gifts, welcoming a new neighbor etc... so I'd love some ideas from you guys!!!

They say word of mouth is the best advertisement, so I'd love it if you could send my link to your friends and family! put a link on your blog? share an email?
