"Comfy Points" Bonus Time

I'm going to "use my powers for good" and ask you...no, BEG you, to please consider donating to a very worthy little girl and her family. Her name is Anaya, she is from a little town in my province of British Columbia, and is in great need of help. The page I'd like you to check out is this : http://www.facebook.com/3500Angels
Her family is raising money for a mobile care unit for Anaya, one that will assist them in giving her the best possible care while they experience every day she has left on this earth, rejoicing in her sweet life, enjoying each moment they are blessed with <3

I will give everyone who donates just $10 to help her 10 bonus "Comfy Points" that will be put into a draw to win a very special prize. If you donate more, please let me know. I will give you as many points as you donate dollars.
Please be honest, as I have no way of verifying you are actually donating. I'd like to think that everyone who says they've donated actually has.

Comment here if you make a donation, and I'll tally up your points and get them in the draw for you...I'll be drawing our winner at the end of the month <3

Thank you for becoming one of Baby Anaya's 3500 Angels !!

Mama <3

Sporadic Much ?

Soooo, anybody miss my amazingly incredible posts ?

Didn't think so  :)

I actually wanted to apologize for not following through on my attempt to write a blog post every day in October and to give away stacks of "Comfy Points"
I think I'll still plan on giving a special prize away, for everyone that's managed to get in on a "Comfy Point" or 2...
I award a point for various things, correct trivia answers, a simple response to a blog post, doing something especially amazing...

Keep an eye out, my next post will be all kinds of good...and it'll be all kinds of soon !!

Until then,
Mama <3

Super Saturday

*AHEM...MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE?*

There, thanks all. I was just looking over the very few entries/answers for "Comfy Points" from my last blog post and there is only 1 correct answer !! I'd love you to be able to get a point for answering my question correctly, so go back and re-read, and you may answer again.
As for today, it's Saturday, is Super and it's SUNNY !! It was chilly this morning, close to freezing, then skyrocketed to a very balmy temperature, like t-shirt warm !!

Today is laundry day, catch-up at home day, cut some wipes day, maybe even stitch some wipes day...that'd be FUN <3

Now, on to the "real" reason everyone actually glances at my blog, the opportunity for free stuff !!
For a chance at a "Comfy Point" to get in on a draw for something fun at the end of the month, please tell me when my prices are slated to go up ?
*Remember,  you must follow this blog and be "like" my facebook page www.facebook.com/ComfybunsCustoms to be able to enter*

Send me all the "productivity" and "happy kids" vibes you can !!

Hugs,
Mama

I AM THANKFUL

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my Canadian friends, as well as anybody who likes to be thankful really. I am so totally thankful for so many things. I could list them but this blog would go on and on and on and well...you get the point.
I will, however, touch on a few points of extreme thankfulness. These are in random order, but each are very important.

I am thankful for my hard-working husband - if not for him and his amazing budgeting skills, I would not be able to stay at home and take care of our children.
I am thankful for our children - every day they teach me something new, they grow as people and show me so much love I might burst.
I am thankful for my family, both genetically related or "adopted" - I love you all so much. These "adoptees" include my friends as well, you all rock !
I am thankful for my business, albeit small and sometimes messy and crazy - it has provided me with such an incredible outlet for my little form of "creativity" and I feel so blessed and honoured that so many of you have chosen me to make things for you.

So many more things that I truly am thankful for, many of which tie into these few things...
Full of gratitude, that's me <3

Today I am thankful that I get to go to my MILs ( Mother In Laws ) house for dinner, get to see my brothers in law and nieces, and don't have to cook. I attempted gluten-free vegan buns to take along, as one BIL is GF, the other Vegan...I'll be sure to let you all know how they turn out !


Now, onto the "fun" part - "Comfy Points"... tell me what my favourite part about Thanksgiving Dinner is and you'll receive a point to go into the draw for some goodies.

Off to bake the buns and get ready to head out for dinner.
Thankfully yours,
Mama <3

Terrific Tuesday...yeah, kinda ;)

TERRIFIC TUESDAY...got your attention ?

* I have to apologize for not doing a daily blog post like I had hoped I could...sometimes the need to make lunches or the need for sleep overrules my good intentions...I'm sure you understand :) *


Today, I had the pleasure of meeting up with an amazing local mama to drop off a little package of softness. She is so cool, I could talk to her for hours ! Not only is she a phenomenal artist, she's such a sweet soul. Thanks for letting me chat your ear off !

Today was a beautiful weather day, a decently-behaved kids day, and a yummy dinner day...win all around <3

On the Comfybuns front, I've been totally enjoying seeing how excited people are when they get their orders. My heart smiles every time someone posts on my wall that they received their wipes and how much they love them...makes me a little emotional even...


As a reward for reading this bit of blather, and for a "Comfy Point" ( entry into my end-of-the-month draw for a cool prize )....
WHAT DID I ATTEMPT TO MAKE FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER THIS WEEK ?


*each correct answer will receive one entry into the draw*
(please remember that you must be a fan of my page as well as "follow" this blog to be eligible)
Goodnight my friends,
Mama <3
