Snowman Butt (embellished fleece diaper cover) LIVE Giveaway!


Even though there is still a good six inches of snow on the ground from this past weekend, we're supposed to get 12-18 more inches tomorrow! Personally, I absolutely LOVE the snow, and am thoroughly enjoying this very snowy winter. It just makes me feel so peaceful and serene.

To celebrate all this white stuff, I thought I would give away a Snowman Butt embellished fleece diaper cover/soaker, handmade by me.


Fleece is super soft against baby's skin, and very breathable. It doesn't absorb moisture- it repels it, thus creating a barrier between baby's diaper and the outside world. Use it with your favorite prefolds and fitted cloth diapers, or even over disposable diapers for extra protection (and extra cuteness)!



The cover I'm giving away is a size MEDIUM, with the following measurements:
Rise = 17"
Waist = 15-17"
Thigh = 9-10"

You can find other embellished fleece soakers and longies, as well as many other handmade eco-friendly goodies in my Etsy shop, Enchanted Dandelions. You can see other soakers I've made under my Sold Items. Custom orders are always welcome!

On to the giveaway! I thought I would do this one a little bit different. Instead of having it end on a certain date, I will draw a random winner when we reach 200 comments. And instead of having a maximum number of entries per person, you can enter as much as you want. Sound cool? ^.^

Mandatory Entry: Become a public follower of this blog (see right column). Be sure to include your email address where I may contact you if you win.

Bonus Entries: (leave a separate comment for each one)
* Comment with a design you'd like to see embellished on future fleece soakers - unlimited entries!
* Comment with anything related to cloth diapers: about your personal stash, why you love cloth diapers, about their many benefits, tricks and tips, diapers you'd like to try, etc. Doesn't have to be anything significant or long, just little blurbs that stay somewhat on topic ^.^ - unlimited entries!
* Follow me on Twitter (leave username)
* Tweet about this giveaway, including a link to this post - unlimited entries! (just don't annoy your twitter friends too much, *wink*)

Good luck and just go nuts with the comments! Who knows... maybe if the person with the most comments doesn't win, I'll have to send them a little consolation prize. *wink* (In the meantime, I'll sit here and try my best not to join the conversation... it'll be hard- I'm such a cloth diaper fanatic. *grin*)

WeeEssentials Review & Giveaway


I first stumbled across WeeEssentials when looking for soap bits to tuck into my cloth diaper cakes. After absolutely falling in love with her shop, I ordered a couple packs to try out. I'm now proud to say not only do her soap bits find a place in my diaper cakes, but also permanent residence on my bathroom counter.

Her soap bits are either 99% natural (those with fragrance oils), or 100% natural (those with essential oils). However, you can rest assured that ALL of them are SLS (sodium laureth sulfate) free, and contain only the highest quality ingredients.

How do you use them? Simply dissolve 1 cube in 1 cup of heated water. How easy is that?! You can then use the resulting soapy solution for moistening cloth wipes (for cleaning just about anything!). Other suggestions for the solid cubes are using them as single-use guest soap, or taking them along with you to use in public restrooms.

My thoughts? Like I said, I've been using WeeEssential soap bits for quite a while now, and I just love them. The scents smell fantastic- strong enough to make stinky diaper changes a little more pleasant, but not enough to be overwhelming. I also think the owner, a mother of two (soon to be three!), is just the sweetest person, and doing business with her has been nothing but wonderful.

Want to try WeeEssentials soap bits for yourself? Winner of this giveaway will receive a small pack of Lavender Chamomile (12 soap bits), a sampler pack of Energize! (3 bits) and a sampler pack of Witches' Brew (3 bits). (Note: she now packs her soap bits in cute jars, but these particular soap bits will arrive in her previous packaging of little labled baggies).

Mandatory Entry: Visit the WeeEssentials' Etsy shop, and leave a comment with your favorite scent. Be sure to include your email address where I may contact you.
