ParkingPals Magnets

Adorable Kidz is now stocking this wonderful invention called the "Parking Pal Magnet"!
For use in parking lots, the Parking Pal™ magnetic hand is designed to help busy parents keep their child out of harm’s way while tending to other tasks.

HOW IT WORKS:

Place the Parking Pal on the side of your vehicle, where it will remain safely attached at all times. It was specifically designed with bright colors, playful illustrations, and a small palm children love to place their hands on. After a couple learning sessions, your child will discover that the Parking Pal is their safe spot, and they will know where to go the second they are outside the car. It also helps teach them that parking lots are no place to play.

WHY IT IS NEEDED:

Parents, grandparents, day-care providers, aunts, uncles, friends, or whoever is caring for a child can be easily distracted in parking lots. Loading or unloading packages, rifling for keys, tending to the baby, or helping elderly parents can take precious attention away from our children, leaving them vulnerable to a number of dangerous situations. Other drivers can't see when they back up because the car next to them is too large or they're distracted by their cell phones, or blind spots make it easy for them to overlook small children who may be behind them. And children, well, they don't always do what they're told or stay where they should. It only takes one second for tragedy to strike.

HOW IT CAME ABOUT:

One mother residing in Virginia began to think of ways to keep her kids focused so the chance of them bolting or wondering in parking lots would be eliminated. She created the Parking Pal and IT WORKED! Austin, her 5-year old, and Aiden, her 3-year old, love the Parking Pal. When getting out of or coming back to the vehicle they go directly to it, put their hand on it, fiddle around with it and chat with each other while she gets her youngest into his stroller or back into his car seat. Until all vehicles are equipped with back-up cameras and all until all drivers remember to pay careful attention in parking lots, this is a great aid in keeping your child safer.

One man band!

Lately I have been getting alot of emails and comments on my Facebook page asking about items out of stock, if I'll be making more of certain things and about custom orders!

For those who don't know I am the only sewer of all the handmade items on AK. Sometimes when I list new items on the website they are snapped up pretty quickly! I try to keep up with the demand as much as possible but I also juggle family life, house work and ME time aswell! I swear there isn't enough time in a day!

So while I am aware that so much stuff is labeled as "out of stock" I am trying very hard to please everyone by keeping up and taking into account requests. Alot of my customers have learnt to stalk my website if they want something and to grab it asap! lol. So I can only suggest that everyone does that. I do not take sales any other way than my website.

Custom orders - At the moment I am not taking on the responsibility of commiting to custom orders. There is an area on my website where you can see if I have any slots available but that is not likely to change any time soon. However, I am considering taking on a small limited amount of custom requests at the beginning of each month and will aim to get them completed by the end of each month. There is an $8 fee as this takes me away from making stock for my website.

So I just wanted to let those who don't know, know I am am a "one man band" or in my case woman lol It is just not humanly possibly for me to keep up with everything at once so please be patient with me, and stalk stalk stalk! lol :)

Thanks,

Farewell 2010

Well as the last day of 2010 draws to an end I have been reflecting back on the year that has been. Wow so much has happened for me and my family, the biggest thing we did was make the move from NZ to Australia in January, which was pretty stressful preparing for that move and its hard starting fresh but we are certainly getting on our feet now and really enjoying what Australia has to bring :)

I had no idea at that time how far forward that would bring my little work at home business. I thought I did pretty well back in NZ but wow over here its been so very overwhelming! I can't believe how hard I have made my little sewing machine work and how many cute little products have been produced and little faces I have made smile :) Seeing those smiles makes every bit of handmade work worth it!

Within the first 3 months of starting up here I had accomplished over 100 orders and as of today I have more than tripled that! How on earth have I managed all that on my own? Some friends have called me superwoman but I don't feel like superwoman lol I have to admit I have pushed myself quite a bit but I had no idea at the extent. All I can say is I try my best and I put in all the handmade love I possibly can into each item knowing how much it will be loved back :)



I am so very grateful to all my customers through 2010 and so lucky to have so many loyal customers who keep coming back! Thank you to all of you, you know who you all are! I am also so very lucky to have made some very good friends through my page, what would I do without you all! I am so glad to be friends with you all and enjoying meeting those who I am able to meet in person and next year I look forward to making new friends and meeting more of you :)

The hardest thing for me in 2010 was loosing my mum. It was something that happend very quickly and will take me a very long time to come to terms with. She was someone I always shared my dreams with about my site and all my sewing. Everytime I finished something I had to show her. She also helped me alot and gave me many ideas. She was the one who named my Snappy Straps over 3 years ago. I miss her so much and if she knew how far I have come in this short time I am sure she would be proud of me.


I can't wait to see what 2011 brings and I have lots of new items I hopefully will be stocking next year. Its very exciting for me thinking about it all and I can't wait to announce all the new things as they come. I'm also excited to have some help next year with my sewing and cutting, it will help me very much to keep up with everyones demands :)



Well I wish you all the very best for 2011 and hope its a great year for you all.

Happy New Year Everyone!
