I would also add to this list to join Flickr and post a picture of every creation you have or will create. You can join groups on Flickr for just about anything which you can post your pictures that also helps market your craft. I can't tell you how much traffic I have gotten just from organizing my photos on Flickr. ***I didn't even know this would happen, I just needed somewhere safe to keep them:) PLEASE NOTE***** It is free to keep your photos on Flickr UP TO 250 pictures, it then cost around $25 a year to post more; but I have made that back in the first two months!!!

Magaby's will no longer be found on Ebay

I finally did it......I stopped selling on Ebay! I closed my store on Ebay several months ago because the fees are just ridculous and today I decided to cancel all active listings. Why, you ask! Well, I received an email from Ebay stating that a few of my listings were taken down because I violated their listing laws/rules. I read further and it said that I unlawfully represented, in my listings, Gerber products. I was dumbfounded as I have NEVER used a Gerber product EVER!!!!! First of all, I have Magaby's labels in all my creations and second of all Gerber is not the quality I would sell to my customers. You would think if Ebay were so quick to cancel listings that I have paid for, they would at least make sure the alligations are true! BTW~Alligations supposedly came from Gerber.
I am going to miss my sweet customers from Ebay! Thanks for the fun adventure!!!

You can always find us at www.magabys.com


***Gerber is not bad quality, I just choose to use a wholesale brand that I feel is much nicer....

Perfect Baby Shower Gift for The Little Prince or Princess in Your Life

Here's another original design by Magaby's that is sure to be the talk of the Baby Shower!!! The idea for these came about through a friend that wanted a unique and special gift for her cousins baby shower. When I saw this pink jester fabric, I knew in an instant that I had to do something for a Princess. And of course, we can't forget about our precious baby boys, so I created the Prince set for another friend days later. They had such a great response at both showers that I just had to list them in my shop:)

These sweet little Prince or Princess onesies are now available in my shop, for only $14, at http://www.magabys.com/. If you would like to put together a set like the ones you see, just contact me through my shop and I would love to help put the 'Perfect Shower Gift Set' together for you.
