Contest time.

I've been thinking it's been a while since or last contest, and time for a new one. So here it goes. To get the first entry in this contest, you have to Like the Creative Mamas Facebook page, and follow the blog. To get additional entries, you have to like the FB page of each of our vendors. Then you post saying that Creative Mamas sent you. You get one entry for each like. Another way to get entries is to refer people to our FB page. Each person that you refer to Creative Mamas FB page that says you sent them, is worth one entry for you. After doing each of these likes, post back here saying that you liked that particular page. This is the only way that I will know that you liked the page in relation to the contest. Entries that like the pages, but don't post here saying that you have will not count.

The vendors pages go as follows: AbbyRose Creations, Absolute Delights, Alex-Lita Designs, Corinne's Treasure Hunts, Crafts by Christina, JoyfulRose, Kalm Kreations, Monkey Butt Soap Bits, Nimble Phish.

Now for the meat of the contest. The prize is a package containing a blue purse, a pair of knitted scrubbies, good for washing your face, or holding soap, a tresure hunt bag, a one-size pocket diaper, and sample soap bits great for diaper changes.

The contest begins today, the 13th, and will run through the 20th. On the 20th, I will close the contest, and assign numbers to all the entries. I will then use random.org to pick a number from one to the highest number of the entries. That number will be the winner. I will then announce the name of the winner (person who's entry was assigned the number random.org chose), and ask for contact information to send out the prize.

Facebook contest

The vendors at Creative Mamas Congo have come together to do some give away contests. Since I've gotten word of Facebook not allowing these giveaways anymore, the give aways will done from the blog. So, fan us on FB, and come here and follow us, and the give aways will continue, but until I hear otherwise, they winners will be announced here, as well as any details for the give aways.

What's coming up with Creative Mamas

Over the past few months, Creative Mamas has had some great guest vendors, some that decided to stay. We are going to continue having two guests a month through at least the summer. We are also in The Spotted Box this month.

In April, we will premier the Creative Mamas sample packs called Mama Morsels. They will have samplings of the items you can get from our congo. Some items are full sized, and some will be sample sized, but all of them will be great.

Since the May Great Cloth Diaper Hunt has been cancelled, Creative Mamas will be hosting it's own hunt. There will be weekly prizes, as well as a grand prize, and also sample packs available for purchase. Be sure to come by and check out what we have, and hunt to win some of the great prizes. Included in the prizes will be a OS pocket diaper. Lots of great stuff to be had

Welcoming Guests to the Congo

This month Creative Mamas is welcoming some wonderful guests to our congo. We have Alei-Noodle Knits as well as Corrine's Treasure Hunts. Both ladies make some wonderful items. One make lovely knits, as well as a knitting pattern for woolies for those already experienced with knitting. The other makes I-Spy bags which can provide hours of entertainment for children and adults alike.

Next month we will be having Abby Rose creations and her dyed organic bamboo velour goodies, as well as Mama Marsh Creations with her lovely one-size diapers. Be sure to stop by and check out the items that these ladies make. You never know, you might find something that you just can't live without, but didn't know it.

The congo will also be participating in The Spotted Box for March. If you've ever bought one, then you know you can get lots of wonderful goodies in the box, in sample size. Be sure to buy one, and look for items from the Creative Mamas.

Countdown to the Hunt

We are just shy of the start date to the GCDH. November 1st is on Sunday, and with it comes the Great Cloth Diaper Hunt. We are sponsoring a hunt, and through it are offering a 10% discount congo wide, but you have to be registered for the hunt. So be sure to check it out. Just like last time, we will be doing a mini-hunt within the congo itself to give you a little extra fun, and guidance looking for the icon.

If you haven't checked out Creative Mamas lately, we also have two new vendors. One that sells wetbags, and another that does dryer balls. Be sure to check them out as they have some really beautiful items available.

We're also getting ready for Christmas, as it is just under two months away, and when you get into the rush with the post office and mailing gifts to loved ones, that time flies by, so be sure to get started on your Christmas shopping, and Creative Mamas will have some great gift items that you will love (and your family if you can manage to give them away).

Major Mess Bib!

This is a bib I did recently and have stocked on my congo. I'm thinking of making quite a few more for the bazaar coming up. It is ACU fabric with Soft and Comfy fabric on the back in a mint green, and embroidered with Major Mess. It has a nice little snap closure, and I think it turned out rather nice. It is similar to one that I made for my youngest that has Hooah! on it, but I tend to think this one is cuter.

Getting back into the swing of things

Summer is wrapping up, the kids are heading back to school, and fall will soon be creeping in. Creative Mamas is going through some changes as well. We've added a new jeweler, a vendor with goats milk products (great laundry soap!), and a new yarn dyer. We also have some great new products as we are trying to keep things fresh and interesting. Be sure to stop in and see what we have coming up as the holidays approach.
