Fingers Crossed!

Sarah and I are getting ready to submit our application to participate in Oglebayfest! Yikes! We apply now, but will not hear anything until the first of July, which doesn't leave us much time to create an inventory large enough for a festival like that. But, I am going to get busy now starting on some projects that have been running through my mind for months....blankets, aprons, bibs and skirts are just a few things brewing up there. So keep your fingers crossed for us and I will post pictures as soon I get started....oh, and will Donnie be mad at me if take on ANOTHER craft??? Did someone say something about metalworking???
PS-On a fun note....should we not make it into Oglebayfest this year, there's always next year and the fun stuff we will have made by then will be up for grabs!

There's Always a Hitch!

So, those of you that know us, know that nothing ever goes off without a hitch (as if it's only US that happens to!).  We were so excited to start the contest and get our first few likes on Facebook, until I figured out there was something wrong! Since we are both new to blogging and I am sure it will take us awhile to figure everything out and you will just have to hang in there with us....anyway, I know that those of you that I have directed to the blog are not going to comment and tell me that I sent you because I'm not eligible for the contest so I understand there not being any comments yet. But it was brought to my attention that to leave a comment you have to sign in using either a Google account or your AIM information (do people still instant message???) and that might be scaring people off.  So we are going to modify the contest a little.  We are still looking for you to send 10 friends to "like" our Facebook page and check out our blog, but instead of commenting on the blog, just leave us a message on Facebook letting us know who sent you.  We will eventually figure this out and we appreciate your patience!  So again, good luck!!!

Finally the time has come!

FINALLY, THE TIME HAS COME TO START THE FUN!!!

As of today, we are launching our brand new Facebook page and starting off our new adventure with a contest!!  The first person to get 10 people to "like" our Facebook page and post a comment on our blog will receive a free hat or headband of their choosing from anything in stock!!!!

If you found us through a friend, don't think that you are out of the running just yet...start working on your 10 friends!!! Just make sure to remind them to post a comment letting us know who sent them! All that being said...please don't stop at 10.....I know all of you out there know more than 10 people...we just wanted to make it easy on you guys! So, have at it.  As soon as there is a winner, we will post it on here!! And should you need anything in the meantime, just email us!!! CoreyAPickens@aol.com
 
Ok...so here's the deal. We really wanted to wait to start everything off until Karah could take pictures of all of the hats and headbands....but since she is in high demand right now (so if anyone is in need of pictures, you had better call and make yourself an appointment now!!!) I decided to take some pictures of everything at the local craft show we participated in today.  So I am apologizing right now for the quality of these images!!! Here is a sampling of our current stock...just remember, it changes daily because when we are not at local craft shows we feature our items at Bullfrogs & Butterflies in Elm Grove. GOOD LUCK!!!!

 

It's Almost Time!

Just a quick thank you to everyone who came out to support Sarah and me at the first annual CASA sponsored Mommy & Me Expo at Wheeling Park's Ice Skating Rink this past weekend. If you did not know about the expo....don't worry, you weren't alone.  I really think that they could have advertised better...oh well, it was the first one and there is only one way to go from there....up!

So, my good friend Karah Sambuco is in the process of taking pictures of all of our fun things.  She is the owner of Foster Fotography and Illustrate Sexy (for women....you must check this out!) and is an amazing photographer.  She recently dropped off the first round of pictures that she has taken of the pinafores and pillowcase dresses....amazing work! Here is a preview of the dresses, for those of you who did not get a chance to see them this weekend.......



 Hope you like them! There is more to come....check back later this week and hopefully we will have some pics of our headbands and hats up with information for ordering and our very first contest underway!! Have a great day!!!

Welcome! We are so excited you're here!!!

Welcome! We are so excited about this....what started as two friends spending some quality (no husband/kids) time together has grown a ridiculously large amount and is getting a little out of control.  We are hoping that by creating a blog and a facebook page www.facebook.com/kiddcreated that we can make some sense out of all of this chaos and get a little organized! As if we don't have enough going on in our lives, we feel the need to expand!

First let us introduce ourselves........Corey (Pickens) Kidd and Sarah (Kota) Lloyd...... we have been friends now for over 30 years and still enjoy spending time together! We are both mothers to some amazing kids. Sarah: Austin 7, Jackson 5, and Noah almost 2! Corey: Carter almost 2! Sarah is currently the manager at our favorite local consignment store Bullfrogs & Butterflies in Elm Grove and Corey is a Developmental Specialist for WV Birth to Three.

Now let us introduce our products.....What started out as just some flowers and headbands has grown into much, much more.  We have our hands into so many different things right now. From tutu dresses, hand made pinafores and pillowcase dresses to crocheted hats, bow ties and hair clips.  We are always looking for new things to try, so make sure and let us know what you would like to see.  We will be posting pictures of various items for sale with more information on how to purchase them soon!

We have a lot in store for 2012 and hope that everyone who purchases our products loves them as much as we do! We look forward to many great events (even thinking of participating in Oglebayfest...eeekk!) as well as fun contests and giveaways on our blog so if you haven't liked us yet on facebook or added our blog to your watchlist....get on it so you can join in the fun!!!
