Hi Cherly
No your not nosy I am the same asking questions all the time
The bottles with the purple tops are
1st odourless thinners which I get by the two litre Bottle and put it into these small bottles
2nd Nail polish remover for taking baked on paint off when I mess up
3rd is hair conditioner for my dolls hair
The Boxes are from Tinkerbell creations which I line with wooden floor underlay sprinkled with baby fragrance Oil
they are great for 19"-"22" Dolls but very big dolls are a bit of a squeeze

as for my address
You cant miss me Im about an hour outside newry on the main Dublin Road
although we do move a bit
My address is
two wheel cottage Dublin :-)

hi phil - i was just looking around the forum to see where i could ask how the finished babbas are packaged up ready for selling - when i saw your boxes being commented on, i havent got a clue how to safely package a babba so if you or anyone else can throw a few iddeas my way i would be grateful. xxxx

Hi sheryl
I can give you a brief description of how I pack a baby if it going abroad
I get a sheet of cardboard that fits neatly into the bottom of the box and put the baby in
and mark some dots on either side of both legs,both arms the belly,and the neck.
Then I take the sheet of cardboard and cover it with foam padding the white stuff you use under wooden floors
cos its nice and soft you can sprinkle the underside with baby smell oil and it looks bright .
I then poke holes where I have marked and insert cable ties through these holes to hold the baby securly
I then stick down the board to the bottom of the box with double sided sticky tape
I then get some baby wrapping paper that says its a boy ,or its a girl, or congratulations and
stick this along one long edge of the box so when you open the box this will be what you see and will have to fold the paper back to reveal your baby Just like the ashton drake boxes then i line all the walls of the box with the same padding stuck on with the same tape.I then put her blanket over her for padding along with her going home clothes and spare nappy then tuck the cert and other bits down the sides it look lovely and its very secure if it going to the states I put this box into another box as it will be thrown around a bit but so far no complaints
so thats about it and bobs your uncle
Love Phil

I package mine in a very similar way Phil ...although instead of cable ties to secure the baba through the holes in the cardbaord sheet ..I use florist curling ribbon in either pink or blue....usually have some lovely comments on packaging too

I try to make imagine what I would like when opening the box lol xxxx

by **phil** » Thu Jan 15, 2009 1:40 pm

wow Michaela
The ribbon sounds much prettier Michaela
I will do that in future
I also try to imagin the first impression the new Mum gets
when She opens the Box and spend Hours before posting opening and closing
just to get it spot on. I think the first Impression you should get when you open your parcel
is OMG cos that first impression is going to last . Well it did for me when I bought my first doll.
I would love to be able to send a baby in a wicker basket with a snuggy bumper set but Me thinks
it would be too expensive as I sell all my dolls for €199 euro and the basket and bumper set would probably cost
almost half that so for the moment I shall splash out on curling Ribbon and some boy /girl confetti
Love Phil
