One Word... Amazing

Only a few days ago, I got my first email from a perspective vendor.  Immediately, we felt a connection.  It was as though we had known each other our whole lives.  Friends that never met?  Possible and somewhat amazing.

As soon as I saw her wall decals I could picture them on my daughters' walls.  That's how I know that things are a good fit for the site.  I had seen vinyl wall decals before, but these were amazing.

It was only natural that I would request her on Facebook.  When she went to accept my friend request, she noticed the strangest thing.  We had the same birthday.  Again, amazing.

She immediately posted the new-found info on my wall and asked what year (I'm not brave enough to put it in my public info).  I went to her page and found... of course, we were born in the same year (she is more brave than I am, obviously).  She in Montana, and myself in Florida - less than 2 1/2 hours apart.  Coincidence?  I say it's nothing short of amazing.

So last night, I was able to get all of her items up on WayTutuCute.com.  I waited 15 minutes, saw a bunch of "likes" on her album on my Facebook fan page and then went to sleep, knowing that I had found another amazing vendor.  The first thing I do every morning is reach over, grab my phone and check my emails (funny how that has taken priority over common needs like going to the potty).  As I cleared out the spam, I noticed a couple of "NEW ORDER" emails... it's about the only thing that gets me wide awake so early in the morning.  I am so excited to let my vendors know that they have a new order.  It means I'm doing something right on the marketing side!  So I open up the first email and was shocked and amazed that it was for 2 wall decals.  Yes, only an hour after I put up the items, not one, but 2 had sold!  A new record?  Yes!  Amazing?  Definitely.

So now I'd like to introduce you to Tracy, my "soul sister" and the amazing creator of and designer of Wallspoken.  Not only does she offer these beautiful wall decals, but she has priced them so reasonably, almost anyone can afford to decorate their home and send a meaningful message to everyone that comes to visit.  Not only is Tracy creative, she also has a huge heart.  She is a big advocate for the cure for childhood cancer.  She started a non-profit group with her brother and speaks to congressmen in DC, all to meet her one goal, to find a cure for childhood cancer.  She even donates a percentage of her sales to research!

So many to choose from, I wasn't even able to get them all on the site yet.  She offers personalized, monogram and even spiritual message decals.  What a great way for your child to wake up - to a message that says "Such a Big Miracle in Such a Little Boy."  Or how about your daughter, walking in her room after a long day at school and seeing, "Someday My King Will Come, Until Then I'm Happy Being a Princess."  Words of encouragement - the best thing you can give your children.  Not to mention how adorable their room will look with the easily removable messages on the wall!

I'm very lucky to have her as a part of WayTutuCute.com and I know that this is the beginning of a great friendship!  She is, in one word, amazing!  Check out Wallspoken on WayTutuCute.com today!

Meet Alyson of Baby Flair Boutique

I am pleased to introduce you to Alyson, amazing creator of Baby Flair Boutique.  If you haven't seen these very unique hair accessories, you don't know what you're missing!  Here's Alyson's story:  Her daughter was born during a major "boy" boom. Everyone that she knew was having boys at that time. Of course, she was SO excited to have the only girl in a sea of boys, but she had no idea how many ways this little princess would change her life - one of them being her business venture, Baby Flair Boutique. Alyson started making headbands for her daughter a few weeks after she was born in May of 2009. She would stay up late and wake up early just to make sure that her daughter had a headband to match her outfit the next day. She started getting comments from friends and strangers alike, about how cute her headbands were. Finally, Alyson's best friend convinced her that she needed to go into business. Her husband came up with the name, and that was it...  it all started snowballing from there (like most great businesses do). She created a bunch of items and the very first day, got her first sale!! Alyson was instantly addicted and felt she could now justify her "hobby". She began developing a line of "blossoms" that are some of the most unique you'll ever seen. There are currently 6 signature Baby Flair blossoms in the line, and each one is named after a special little girl in Alyson's life. Reese is her daughter. Callie, Peyton, Zoe, Madison, and Bailey are her nieces and cousins.

Alyson's goal is to offer unique hair accessories that get noticed and have people dying to know where you got them, but at the same time aren't too overpowering. They frame the face and add just the right touch of girlie-ness. She takes great care in her work {when it comes to headbands, she's a perfectionist to the 10th degree} and would never sell something that she would not put on her own daughter. Alyson is so excited to see where this business takes her, and she's counting the days until she can quit her "day-job" working for her family's software company as a tech support representative.

Visit Baby Flair Boutique on waytutucute.com today and pick up one of Alyson's signature flower headbands or clips.  Beautiful.  Unique.  Just Gorgeous.
