CPSIA SPECIAL - Little Lady Monster Hat - FREE SHIPPING


Description
Yes, thanks to the new CPSIA law, effective Feb. 10, 2009, the cost of this hat in baby and child sizes will need to jump from $18 to $3,798. But what the heck! I'll throw in free shipping! ADULT SIZE WILL STILL BE $18, BUT YOU GET TO PAY THE SHIPPING! :OD

CPSIA will require that each store selling products for children under the age of 12 test each product in our shops for lead. Each component will cost $70 - that's EACH COLOR of EACH MATERIAL that I use to create these items. This hat alone has 4 colors of yarn, 2 colors of felt, 2 colors of thread, and 1 ribbon, for a total of $630 for the lead testing alone.

But wait - we also need to add in the additional $350 per component for phthalates testing which adds another $3,150.
If you add the $18 that I originally charge, the grand total to buy this one little hat = $3,798.

PLEASE HELP KEEP HANDMADE ITEMS AVAILABLE FOR OUR CHILDREN.

Halloween

Chris and I went to a Halloween party this evening (i guess since I'm posting at 1am, it was last night, lol) We had a great time and met some really fun people! It was a costume party so I had to do a LOT of proding to get Chris to dress up. Being the crazy fool that he is, he decided at the last minute that he didn't want to go as the Reaper in the costume that we bought, so we made a quick trip to the costume store and bought a wig. He wore his work uniform and the wig and went as our boss, Clayton. Everyone loved it! Even Clayton...at least until Monday when Chris either gets fired or gets all the grunt work! haha

I found some wings at the costume store and a wig and decided to go as an Angel from the Bayou. Got lots of compliments on my costume. Thought I looked pretty cool myself, lol.

After the party, we went by the studio and we took some photos of us in our costumes. I may never get Chris to do this again, so I had to document the event!!!

Here's the odd couple: Aren't we cute!!!!

And here's Chris a.k.a. Clayton The Boss


And the one that Chris took of me:

Holiday Mini Sessions

As each year passes, it becomes harder to find gifts that will really mean something to the other person. Electronics, jewelry, clothes, etc... These all go out of style, get lost, stop working or just generally don't last long. So why not give your family a gift that they will be able to cherish and enjoy for years to come....Portraits!

I'm happy to announce that Mini sessions are now available for your Holiday gift giving and Christmas cards!
