Photo Contest!

*** I am extending the date of the contest to June 13th!  for those that don't have my diapers and want to order some to enter!  :)  Hurry and get the orders in though!  I will work super fast and get them out to you ASAP!


I am searching for some really perfect pics of kiddos in Nifty Nappy’s!

I have some requirements though.

1. I need these photographer quality… don’t let that scare you though.  Things can be edited!
2. I need mostly panoramic photos
3. I need you to think about photo composition… we are looking for pictures of cloth diaper on cute babies and toddlers… not pics of toddlers and babies in cloth diapers.  see this blog post for tips
4. I must also be allowed to use them how I want on my webpage, blog, FB and in advertising.
5. No watermarks on them either… I will give credit when I use them.

Some things I will be looking for:

• babies in just Nifty Nappy cloth diapers or other products
• bright and fun -colors and backgrounds
• possibly some in nature
• photos with more than one baby showing off their Nifty Nappy’s
• a diaper bag full of Nifty Nappy products

Feel free to borrow your neighbors kiddos too  -the more the merrier!

I will be the one to pick the winner, and it won’t be my friends… it will be the BEST pictures I get…

Did you catch that I said PICTURES?  That is right… there maybe more than one winner too.  If I choose more than one photo.  :)

Hold on! Before you run get your camera, let’s talk prize k?

So what does the winner or winners get?

How about this:

• $75 Gift Certificate to Nifty Nappy!
• Custom t-shirt diaper (from your t-shirt)
• 20% discount on your next order

Pretty good huh?

WAIT! WAIT! a couple more things:

Giveaways!

Reminder: Today is the last day for this givaway!
hurry here

I love doing giveaways, but I have to decide if it is worth it!
I have a long list of giveaways already planned, but I also have a bunch lined up that would like to have my diaper on their list.
So I know that once I had someone win a giveaway they fell in love with my diapers and ordered 5, then came back and ordered 6 more so they had a full dozen. That giveaway was worth it! I also know that I have had a few orders placed from folks who didn't win, but wanted to try the diapers.

So what do you guys think? I mean I know you like the giveaways cause you like the chance to win some, BUT what would you do if you were me?

hello? hello...hello...hello -and a GIVEAWAY!

Hey are you guys reading this? i would love some comments! Do you know how to leave them? There is a little clicky thingy that says Comments... you just click on it, then you type in a nice little thing and put the button that means ok. -I can't remember the exact word on the button :)

So you go ahead, make my day and leave a comment. Even if it is just "hi, I was here"! That would be great, then I would know someone is reading this.

BUT! There is another giveaway! There is a rave review and all! Don't ya just love free stuff?
Momma In Flip Flops is the blog. Check it out! It goes until Nov. 18th.

Good luck!

Happy diapering,
Vilate

Addressing PUL... and another givaway

Here is another rave review of the Nifty Nappy and the Woolie Wrap! :) Gotta love it.
Julie over at ClothDiaperReviews gave a great review! You have a week to enter the giveaway. There are 5 ways to enter. So hurry over!

I wanted to address PUL today...

I am not a big PUL fan. I do use it to make my PeachyKeen Pockets and my SnappySwimzEaze though. I would rather use a Fitted and wool any day!
BUT that is just my opinion. I know lots of people that love a good pocket diaper or swear by an AIO. They are convenient for going out, leaving with a sitter, daycares, and daddy's. :)

If you have a diaper with a PUL layer in it there are a few things you should know about PUL.

Most PUL fabrics used are made by Fabrite. They are the biggest seller of PUL. They have done lots of testing on their PUL. It is medical grade and has been designed to to hold up to being sterilized. You can wash your PUL diapers the same as you would wash a prefold. You can also dry the Fabrite PUL in the dryer. I suggest sunning the diapers for the majority of the time, but I do like to throw my pockets in the dryer about once a month or so to reseal the PUL.

You should always follow the instructions for care given by the manufacturer of the diaper though. They may use a different brand of PUL, or they may use PUL on cotton which can separate easier. It could also be the type of elastic they use, or the form of closures. If they tell you not to dry them, then there is probably a reason.

My PeachyKeen Pockets are made with fabrite PUL. They are made with a layer of poly/PUL with the PUL sandwiched between the poly and the outer layer of the diaper. Even if your PUL does separate from the fabric...which can happen from time to time...you will not have to worry about it getting ripped when you are stuffing the diaper.

Last day to enter this giveaway... if you entered try to think of more ways you can enter. There are over 400 entries already! WOW!

I'm admitting to my problem! :)

I wanted to sit down real quick and jot down my reasons for CD'ing. That is short for cloth diapering for those of you who don't know the lingo- yet!

1. When I started CD'ing we were poor college students. Did I mention we were POOR? I got into CD'ing to save $$. It lasted a year and a half, then a rash and Dr. drove us back to sposies. (disposables)

2. Then I saw the cutest pocket diaper and thought I can make that and save $$ again. Did I mention they were cute? :)

3. I decided to broaden my horizons and found wool and organic hemp and bamboo. ohhhhh...now i make cloth diapers cause I just love them. And it makes me some $$! :)

I must admit I am a diaper junkie. I love the diapers. I told my oldest daughter the other day that I hope when people open their package with the diapers in them that they are so excited they have to call a friend or show a loved one. I hope they get all dramatic and go on and on about how cute they are with and endless smile on their faces! I hope they squeal in delight once in awhile too. Then I hope they get that same feeling when they put them on their little one and think to them self how adorable their little squirt is.
I hope they feel this way, because...
That is how I feel EVERY time I finish another diaper. Silly huh? It can be the same fabric I have used 30 or 40 times, but I still sit back and think how adorable they are. I just can't help smiling to myself.
I also love, Love, LOVE it when they send pictures back! How fun to see an adorable baby in my adorable diapers? That makes my day!
There you have it, now the world know about my addiction. Isn't that the first step? Admitting you have a problem? Well, I have admitted it over and over and it doesn't seem to be helping. :) That's ok, I think I will hole on to this one for awhile.

Happy diapering,
Vilate
