GCDH - update

Hi all,

So I'm sad to say that I'm sick. I have a big headache and a stuffy/runny nose. I'm off to bed right now, but I promise to check back at least once saturday and at least once on sunday. If I'm feeling ok, I'll check several times.

Why don't you guys try to help each other for now? I'll change the comments to unmoderated. No giving the answer away though please, that's cheating!

Thanks for understanding.

Happy hunting and have a great weekend.

Morning hint

Hey all,

I posted a hint on the Diaper Decisions hint forum, but just in case it goes down, here it is

-there are verses on 6 pages
-some are obvious, some are not.
-if you think you're in the right place, look closer and you're probably right

Have a great day!
-Andrea

Icon moved

Hi All,

Ok, the icon has moved. I think it's way easier this time, but you be the judge :)

I will still be checking back here and the forum to give out hints and answer questions.

Have a great night. It's late here (EST) so I'm off to bed.

Happy Hunting.

Icon Moving

I'm just in the process of moving the icon (8:45pm EST). If the clues seem to not match, this is why. I'll post here when I'm done...

-Andrea
www.clothdiapermarket.com

Another hint

another hint.... then I'm moving it lol...

Learn about TT
is what you must do
then look at the color
that's most girly to you

If you're looking at pink
it's the right place to be
so look very carefully
at the spelling under the onzie

:)

Good luck hunters!
-Andrea

GCDH - HINT

Ok, for those of you that get to #4 & the extra clue but are stuck:

If you're at clue #4
you're on the right track
open your mind
and take a step back

Bonus clue says
take a look to the left
don't forget to look TT
and remember it's girlie

hope this helps while DD is down.

I think I'll post bonus clues here from time to time :)

Good luck hunters!

GCDH - Need a hint?

Hello happy Great Cloth Diaper Hunters,

Great Cloth Diaper Hunt

Hello all,

The Great Cloth Diaper Hunt (GCDH) is just about upon us and this year The Cloth Diaper Market is participating as an Extreme sponser. The diaper icon will never be more than 4 clicks from the main page (http://www.clothdiapermarket.com/), will be moved frequently and we'll always offer 4 hints somewhere on the website (but not this Blog). We promise not to make it too hard at first but as we get closer and closer to the end of the month it will get more 'extreme'.

If you haven't already registered for this wonderful event you can do so by going to Diaper Decisions... don't forget to take a look at all the great prizes and you can find our prize donation in Grand Prize #2. If you're really stuck and can't find the diaper icon, visit the Hint Forum to get a hint. Please do not send us emails for hints... if you need a hint to find our icon, please visit our thread in the hint forum... we promise to check it often and answer all requests. We will be offering a 10% off discount to all hunters, but you must register to receive the code. Sorry, Gently Used and Sale items are not elligable for the GCDH discount.

On a side note... we've just updated our KnickerNappies LoopyDo and SuperDos on the website and will be adding a few more products over the next few days. I have to take a minute and rave about the SuperDo once more. I put Kylie in a pocket with a SuperDo this morning before we left to take Myles to Sr Nursery School at 8:40am. We dropped him off then ran over to Milkface Nursingwear in Westburo to get another nursing top (I can't get enough of the 'Boob' nursing tops, they're amazing!), then all the way back to Manotick to pick up Myles for 11:30. By the time we got back home it was 12:15. I changed Kylie and to my amazement, she was still bone dry and the SuperDo still had room for more! What an amazing insert. I can't wait to try it out at night (we're waiting on a tester for a new nighttime pocket *wink*). We've also just received a couple of exciting new testers for Kylie to try and we're waiting on 3 others... we hope they get here soon so we can get busy testing and bring them into the store!

Happy Hunting all, we wish you GREAT LUCK with this Extreme Diaper Hunt.

News, News and more News!

Just in from FuzziBunz:

We, like other Fuzzi Bunz retailers, are participating in the Fuzzi Bunz Year-End Clearance Sale. While we are excited to offer our current stock of Fuzzi Bunz diapers at deep discounts, many of our colors and sizes have quickly sold out. That said, we strongly encourage you to take advantage of our clearance sale by substituting another color/size when possible.

Starting on November 19th, the manufacturers of Fuzzi Bunz will be launching a new and improved Fuzzi Bunz diaper. At that time, we will be restocking our inventory to provide you with a more robust choice of colors and sizes at regular prices ($19.99). Please be sure to check our website in November for a full selection of the new and improved Fuzzi Bunz.

Because of such great prices, we are unable to give any additional quantity discount or sales coupons. We appologize if our cart allows you to check out using a coupon, we will contact you and adjust the prices accordingly.

More news... Thirsties Fab Fitteds & Diaper Covers are here! We've sold out quickly of our x-small size but we are getting more in shortly. Thirsties also has a package of Fab Wipes and those will be in stock in the next week or so. Kylie has been using them for a couple of months now and they truely are 'Fab'ulous fitteds, covers & wipes!

Some of you having been waiting for more Baby Bits and they're here now. In a sample 1/2 ounze size and a 3 oz box. This is a great wipes solution for your diaper bag in a spray bottle, for your wipes container or wipes warmer. It's so simple to use... disolve 1 bit in a cup of hot or warm water and voila, you have a naturaly fragrant wipes solution. This is a staple in our household. We use it on Kylie's bum, to give our hands a quick wipe when we're out (the Tea Tree oil is an antibacterial property) or to freshen the air in the room.

We have also added the Bamboobino line of Bamboo hooded baby/toddler bath towels, hats, wipes & Mama breastpads to our showroom and they'll be coming soon to our online store.

Kylie is in the process of being a tester for another couple of new and exciting diapers that we're hoping to be carrying in our store very soon, so visit in a few weeks for more details!

And lastly, but certainly not least, we'll be adding some unique workshops coming in the next few months or early in the new year. We'll post a poll to see which will interest you the most and get those started as soon as we can get the program organized.

Ok, we're off to bed. Our little Kylie has been up frequently in the nights lately (she *was* sleeping through lol) so we're trying to get as much sleep as possible :)

Have a fabulous end of week/weekend!

PS - due to the volume of orders we've received in the last couple of days as well as coming, we'll be doing our usual shipping on fridays and also add saturday morning to our mail run. Monday is shipping as usual and if necessary, we will add tuesday or wednesday to our mail runs :)

Quick update

Hello everybody,

It was so great to meet everybody at the sale on saturday... soon to be Mamas with baby bellies, Mommys, Daddys, Babies and even some grandparents.

We're doing our best to get the store organized again and we'll soon be up to date. We've taken the Gently Used section down for now as we take stock of what's left from the sale and list a few new items.

We're discontinuing some items and getting some new items in the store. These announcements will be coming in the next couple of weeks. We're also in the process of testing some pretty neat products, so those will likely be coming to our shelves soon :)

As well, we're taking advantage of our empty shelves to change our showroom to help serve you better and we'll announce when it's ready. In the meantime we're still taking appointments, please excuse the dissaray while we're working, we promise we know where everything is :)

Lots of great changes in the air for The Cloth Diaper Market and we're happy to be able to serve you better and better all the time.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Breastfeeding Challenge 2007

Hello all,

I've already pre-registered, but I'm still going to try and be there between 9:30 and 10am. I'll be wearing either a blue long sleeved boob nursing top or a 'watermelon' colored short sleeved boob (both from Milkface Nursingwear, great store!) as well as jeans. Kylie will likely be in my Mei Tai sling... so you won't really see what she's wearing. and I have a red backpack.

Hope to see you there!
Andrea

More updates

Hey all,

Check out our Going Once... and Sales sections... we're really clearing out or shelves to make room for new products (coming soon).

We'll be attending the Breastfeeding Challenge this weekend and we're excited! We have a FREE gift for the first 10 people to find us and say hello, as well we have an extra special gift for the 1st person to correctly tell us how many items Kylie & I have on us (in some way) that are from our store... from a cloth diapers to t-shirt to reminder bracelets... we promise to do our best and make them all visible in some way. If we haven't yet met, a day or 2 before the challenge we'll post what we'll try to wear so you know what you're looking out for.

Also, want a 'I perfer my meals straight from the tap' t-shirt for baby to wear at the challenge? Order one now and pick it up before or at the challenge! You can order them HERE. Don't see your size? Contact Us and we'll order one in for you (unfortunately it won't be here before the challenge though, sorry).

And we're now carrying the TingaTinga line of infant clothing. These onzies are fabulous! They're made from a specially milled fabric that is super breatheable. Kylie was wearing one on a day when she was in the car seat a lot. At one point she was in there for a 3 hour stretch and when I took her out she was cool and dry... how great is that? I tell you, it was one of those hot hot days where Myles and I had shorts on and were still hot so I'm super impressed with this! If you're interested in one of these and will be at the challenge on saturday, place an order and I'll bring it with me for you to pick up! I'll also try to remember to bring one along so you can feel the wonderful fabric for yourself! We're having a one time introductory price... 10% off the regular price. Check them out HERE.

One last thing. We are saddened to have to tell you we won't be carrying the Bummis line of products anymore. For those of you who have a pending order, don't worry, we will get it for you! The rest of our Bummis stock is on special in the Going Once... section of our website.

That's about it for now, we hope to see you on saturday at the Challenge.

News and Events

Hello all, hope you're having a great weekend so far!

The Cloth Diaper Market is Proud to announce our sponsorship in the Breastfeeding Challenge 2007 in Ottawa! In the registration loot bags you'll find a postcard with more information as well as a coupon for 10% off all products. We've also donated 2 Gift Certificates for $20 each as door prizes!

And since we're nursing again with 6 month old Kylie, we will be attending and participating, hurray! We'd love to meet you! For the first 10 people to find us, there will be a free gift. We will post details shortly on how you can find us if you've never met us. Hope to see you there!

We appologize for the delay in posting the new products, we have a whole box of new items to show you and hope to get at least some of it on the website this weekend.

We also have posted a lot of our products on sale. We hope to clear out some items to make room for new ones. Before we stock new items on our shelves, we always try them out personally... Myles, Kylie or Myself (or all three of us lol). We have found some fabulous new products we are working to add to our store as well as whole new product lines, so keep in touch for the next month or 2! This doesn't mean the products we have on clearance aren't good ones... if they made it to our shelves, they're certainly considered some of the 'best of the best'!

If you have any questions at all about the products we carry or you've discovered something new and exciting, please do Contact Us to let us know, we'd love to hear from you.

Don't forget, we still have the contest "name the loaner program" open... we've only had a few suggestions so far!

Thanks and hope to see you next weekend at Challenge 2007!
