More time disappearing

The summer seems to be flying by. Noah has officially reached 11 months. One more and he'll be a year old! I can't believe it. I've been working on several projects lately that have been taking up my time. That combined with the baby and I'm a busy person!

One of my projects is advertising my baby items for sale. I of course have the diaper cakes that I make.

I've also started a few other items that I feel will ad more variety to people wanting baby gifts. The idea is that these offer other options but they run a little cheaper than the diaper cakes.

So, presenting the Baby Buggy (formed with rolled diapers and wrapped in a blanket and wash cloths), the Baby Bouquet (presented in a basket or vase with rolled diapers, wash cloths, and other baby items), and the Candy Dish (made of rolled diapers, wash cloths, and other baby items wrapped to look like candies).

I'm really proud of these and I think they add a bit of variety for gifts or shower decorations. I've compiled a brochure which I'm hoping I can put in a local shop where my mom group meets, but I also figure that I can bring the pamphlets to craft shows with one or two display items so people have the information to order some if they like.

I've also remade my Pet Nutrition Solutions business cards. I'm having difficulty finding someone w/ marketing/advertising/art skill to help me make my logo. I have the concept but no artistic skills so I need help. I really wanted the logo before making the business cards and other promotional items, but I felt I needed updated cards regardless. There is a pet boutique near the shop where my mom group meets. Their sign reads "Pet Nutrition Center." I'm not sure what that means so I want to go in and talk to them about it and if warranted, I can leave my info and gain some business and if nothing else, some exposure. The updated cards list my website so hopefully that will generate traffic as well as people getting an idea of what my philosophy is as well as learn ways I can help them out. I also listed services on the back of the card. I'm unsure about how that will work. Taran tells me that info listed on the back may be missed, but with the nature of the card, it wouldn't have worked.

Noah has been stuffed lately which is no fun. I'm thinking it is just allergies, but it may be related to his ear issues which have been off and on for a while. Thanks to Zyrtec and an aspirator, I think he's feeling a little more comfortable.

With any luck, we'll get to visit my brother today, it's been forever. I just have to get laundry going!

Until next time!
