Take the Bait at E-Creamery!

 


My husband and I love watching a show on TV called "Shark Tank".
We love the show because it highlights young entrepreneurs and gives them a chance to grow their business.

One night, while watching after work,  they aired a business called
"E-Creamery."  Two young ladies came up with the idea of not only having a storefront, but also being able to ship online.  Hence the Name....  E-Creamery! 
We were very excited to find that they were located right here within our city! 
Unfortunately,  they did not receive a deal with the Sharks as they had hoped, but they did receive a lot of attention and awareness. 

We piled in the car that very night and headed out to see what all of the fuss was about since every Shark on the show loved the product!  We were very excited about what we would find.

In an adorable little store on the corner we found the most incredible variety of delicious Gelato and ice-cream.    They make it fresh, right there in the store!  When you order, you have an abundance of choice.  You may order a cone, cup, pint, or even a quart of what ever temps you and if you are really adventurous,  you may even order a banana split!  Hungry yet?


The people who work at E-Creamery are the nicest!  Always ready to help you in anyway they can and even let you sample different choices to help you make the right one.


 
 
Do you want to know what I think the coolest thing about  E-Creamery is?  You can create you own flavors and  you can personalize your own fun labels to suit your personality and character.  How cool is that!  
 
From the "Today show" to the kitchen of famous celebrities,  This little ice cream store is making its mark.   It made my Most Favorite Things list!
 
Order or Come By Today!

Childs Own Studio


Art made to plush toy at Childs Own Studio


Mom's, If you are anything like me, we are always trying to invent new ways to archive our children's artwork.   We post them on the refrigerator, try to use organizers, keepsake boxes, special filing systems and the list goes on and on.  All in the hopes that we can keep the memories of our child with us throughout the span of their life.   I mean,  how fun is it to revisit these special moments when our children are grown. 
What if I told you that there is a place that is a Child's Own Studio!  This is a place where your child and a craft artist, together, can create a keepsake to be cherished for a lifetime. 

You send in a piece of art that your child has created and they return to you a plush toy that is an exact replica!  Can you imagine  the excitement on your little ones face when something that they had created comes back to them in such an amazing way? 

Truly a unique idea!  Bravo!

Tooth Fairy Letters

Remember the excitement of losing a tooth when you were little? For me, one of my fondest memories of losing my teeth was the time I wrote the tooth fairy a heartfelt letter and in the morning when I woke up, tucked underneath my pillow along with money was a most wonderful letter from the tooth fairy.
I still can remember to this day the feelings of excitement and pure joy I felt when I found the tooth fairy letter, I was absolutely stunned that the tooth fairy had the time to write a letter and on top of that, the letter was written just for me!
Kids are so excited to lose a tooth and be able to put that tooth underneath their pillow and receive money or a small little gift in the morning. Imagine a child's excitement if they were also to receive a tooth fairy letter, it could be a thrill of a lifetime. I know for me, receiving the tooth fairy letter was a moment in my life that I will never forget.

Tooth Fairy Receipt!

If letter writing is not in your forte',  how about a receipt!  How exciting for your child to receive a receipt from the Tooth fairy!   Very easy to make on the computer.   Have fun being creative!
