Another Milestone to Celebrate.......

GIVEAWAY HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL SEPT 8, 2011



Wow...where to start? I first want to say Thank you to all my loyal customers, friends and family for supporting me in this crazy adventure that I have taken on. When I first started out in 2008 on Etsy I couldn't of dreamed that Kid-N-Around Creations would turn into what it is today. I thought it was just something to keep me busy, and a place where I could earn some extra spending money for a rainy day. Well as the time has gone by I have learned so much about every aspect of the handmade business. I have gone from selling a item here and there over the course of a month to selling items daily. Kid-N-Around Creations now offers wholesale, and I have also been involved in quite a few Co-op group buys. I am happy to announce that I am now a part of The Living Arts Congo. I feel very blessed to be part of a talented group of work at home moms, such as those at The Living Arts Congo.

I'm not sure how far I can take this little business of mine, but I do know that I am having a blast watching it grow. Now that all my Kiddos will be in school this year I will have more time to devote to my business, and I can't wait to see what is around the next corner.

Hello everyone and thank you so much for stopping by. It has been a very long time since I have been able to blog at all. I do miss it very much, but as you all know...life seems to throw lots of curve balls at you. You just never know what is around the next corner. The beginning of my year started out great until my Dad became ill with a brain infection. After weeks of hospital stays and 2 brain surgeries I am happy to report he is back on track and recovering well. On top of all of that I have lots going on in my life, and there never seems to be enough time in the day for everything you want to get accomplished.



Now enough about my life... I am so excited to let you all know about my Summer Fun Sale that is running right now at Kid-N-Around Creations For the summer months I am offering a great sale. Buy any 2 items in my shop and get your 3rd item of equal or lesser value for 50% off. All you have to do is add all the items to your cart. I will refund you the savings via Paypal after the payment clears. Also if you are a Fan of mine on Facebook, you can get a coupon code for an extra 5% off your order that can be used at anytime during checkout. My FB page can be found here... Kid-N-Around Creations

I have lots of new items that have been listed, and many more new items to come. I also have a album on my facebook page called "Whats to come" that is included in the sale. They have not been listed in my shop yet. Just let me know if you would like to purchase any, and I would be happy to make listing for you.
