We're hoping to open at 10am etsy time (9am CST) and run for 12 hours, maybe more if we can get enough curators!

So, what's a Baby BNR Bash you wonder?

Well, with each minimum purchase buy in of $5, you receive a ticket to be entered for some great prizes.

Each ticket entitles you to a guess at the information of when my twins will be born along with sizes and genders and such.

The closest guess will win a prize pack.  There will be upto 4 prize packs to be won.

Don't want to buy in but get some tickets?  There will be tickets awarded for refering people as well.  Details will all be posted  when we open.

A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OUR PRIZE DONORS AND VOLUNTEER CURATORS!

Guessing Game

So, last night at the bnr, a few shops had an idea and I've been running with all sorts of ideas on how to go through with this baby guessing game.

So here are some ideas and I want your input (thanks CamillesCloset and Galla15 for getting my wheels going)!

*Looking to collect prizes from a variety of shops.  I'd need a photo, description and value of the prize.

*Needing ideas on whether to run this as a bnr or how you get a ticket to guess (guessing date babies will be born, time, weights, lengths and genders.)

*If we run this as a bnr, we'd need help curating it....and need to decide when to do this.

I think this could bring in lots of bnr sales because people love free stuff...and the more we'd promote it, the more people we could get involved!

The person with the closest guesses would win all the prizes!


So.....what are your thoughts?  Let me know if you think this would be fun and you'd like to participate!

Crocheting

So, **I THINK** I'm done crocheting for now for the little ones!  I've done a few photography props and am hoping I can do their newborn photos on my own.  It will probably all depend on what type of delivery we end up having and the healing process....but anyways, here's what I've been working on with either supplies or patterns from etsy shops!!!  Please forgive my photos-I'm having difficulty using my camera and bending over things these days. LOL  Also, a model would have greatly improved the photos ;)

Diaper Cover & Hat Sets (Yarn from Creative Goods and patterns from Little Abbee and Nutella Dreams Late Night Crafts (with modifications)).

Thick and Thin Yarn Hats (Yarn from Heartstrings By Dee and pattern help from Love That! Crochet)

Nice Thick Blankets (Pattern from RAKJPatterns)

Now to get my baby panel quilted (one is done, working on number two) and get a few more meat dishes in the freezer, along with getting some product photography wrapped up and we should be ready....**I THINK**!!!!
