Going on Vacation.....8,357 miles away!

I will be leaving on vacation on Monday July 4th-11th.  Where am I going this time you may ask??  8,357 miles away from home to Hong Kong!

My husband and I are flying to Hong Kong then going on an Asian Cruise through China and Vietnam.  Very exciting and kind of scary at the same time!  I am looking forward to the adventure, but at the same time hate that I'll be away from my 10 month old for that long :(  I'll take lots of pictures and post them when I return!  

Anyone who has pending orders has been contacted.  If you would like to place an order for the t-shirt sale, they will be high on my list of to-dos when I return.  Remeber $10 for any zebra, blue zebra, black, pink or blue t-shirt (size 0-3 months - 5T).  You pick the applique from my album on my fan page and just email me all the info to babycakesbybrooke@hotmail.com.  I send you a paypal invoice and then you pay using either check or credit card online. Simple! Get those orders in before Friday at noon cst to take advantage of this awesome sale.

I am looking to do some simple shorts and/skirts to match the shirts.  I have some may ideas rolling around in my head, just not enough baby naps in the day to finish them :) 

So any suggestions for a 13 hour plane trip? or traveling to Asia? or going on a cruise? (I've never done any of these so any tips are GREATLY appreciated!)

p.s. if any of you are wondering how I am going on this trip, it is not because of the success of Babycakes HAHAHA (I wish)... It is because my husband works for an AWESOME company (who is always hiring btw).  He is able to win 2 trips a year through his work!  If you are looking for a career change, email me and I'll let you know and I'll fill you in!

GIVEAWAY #6 NIGHT OWL

Ok first, a little bit of housekeeping. 
1.  If you are having difficulty with the links on any of the pages, please let me know.  I am still new to blogging and all this technology stuff, so please bear with me.  If the link to the sponsor's facebook page does not work, please go to my FACEBOOK PAGE then look on the left side where there is a list of my "Likes".  I have "liked" every one of our sponsors, so you can also access all the sponsors from there too.
2.  If you have having difficulty signing into the blog so that you can post your comment, simply sign in as "Anonymous", but then make sure you leave your email address in case you win.

I apologize, from my end unfortunatley it looks like everything is working fine! So, the only way I can tell if something is wrong, is if you tell me.  I hope everyone is enjoying all of the excellent prizes that are to be given away.  I plan to finish posting them all this weekend, so be sure you are signed up to get emails of all my new posts!


Enough..I am SOOO excited to have this person as a sponsor!!!
GIVEAWAY #6:  The next prize up for grabs is from NIGHT OWL.  This woman is truly amazing! She has named her business Night Owl because she stays up all hours of the night to work on her creations!  When you see what she does, you are going to wonder how she does it all!  NIGHT OWL specializes in unique, boutique and upcyled clothing trends for women and children of all ages!  For this giveaway, she has GENEROUSLY offered a $25 Gift Certificate for anything in her shop.  Wow what a treat!

Night Owl Giveaway


There are only a few more days left to sign up for Night Owl's giveaway. She is hosting an awesome giveaway for every day of June.  I have donated this sunsuit (size 3T) and Sassy K's Boutique has donated the matching bow.  Thank you to Kathryn Wootton Photography for the beautiful picture and model, Vivian :) She took this picture on her 3rd birthday. Happy Birthday!

On a side note, yes my embroidery machine is fixed! I am so happy to have it back, there's nothing like having a good dependable machine.  I have been pumping out orders all weekend, so if you have a pending order expect it to be posted on fb and in the mail pronto.  Thank you all for being so patient with me on this situation and the blog.  I am not much of a blogger or sewing machine repairman, but I am learning.

Keep checking back here for updates on new stuff...I hope to have an awesome giveaway once I reach 700 fans on my Babycakes Facebook Fan Page.  I am considering hosting a small giveaway with items from vendors.  Would you be interested in something like that?  Do you have a small business on Facebook (or know someone who does) and would consider donating something?  Email me at babycakesbybrooke@hotmail.com.

p.s. I would like to add this apology now for any future grammatical errors, excessive punctuations and smiley..or frownies! haha you know who you are!!!!! :)

Comment Game!!

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!  These will be a little different from the usual.  I have posted 3 different questions.  You may post one comment per question (that means 3 different entries=3 different chances to win!).  Winners will be selected tomorrow morning at 9:00 am cst via random.org and posted here.  I am offering three $5 Babycakes Bucks coupons that can be used towards any FUTURE purchases.
Question #1…I am considering which direction to take my business.  Would you rather keep buying items through me with paypal invoices or start shopping with me through a site like etsy?
Question #2…Would you like to start seeing bows or matching hair accessories made to match every new outfit? This would mean the price would be slightly higher for any outfit, BUT you would be guaranteed a matching accessory.  If so, what are your favorite kinds of hair accessories?
Question #3…What is your favorite new outfit or piece of clothing?
p.s. if you have a weird name as your id (like 5d4654a6s54f), please include your name in each comment so that I will know who to award the $$$ to. Thanks!

Babycakes is now Blogified!

Thanks for visiting my blog and becoming a "follower".  I decided to start a blog for my little business because of the new rules Facebook has made regarding giveaways and promos.  I love me a good ol' fashioned giveaway and found that doing it on another site is the safest way.  I have been hearing horror stories of people getting their Facebook accounts deleted because they were not following the new rules correctly. That would just break my heart....so here I am.  I do not follow blogs and rarely read them so I am extrememly new to this.  Bare with me while I figure this out.  And be on the lookout for a giveaway or two in the near, near future!
