Blogger challenged

I think some of y'all may be having trouble leaving comments (I heard from a friend tonight)...if not, then the two of y'all that have entered the giveaway have a really good chance of winning:)

If you can't leave a comment here, please email me at shopjelbys@gmail.com and that will totally count!!

Also, it dawned on me the other day that some of y'all might like to see the actual prize you'd be winning! Well, that's not possible right now. Ha! I haven't officially decided on my holiday shirts yet, so therefore, there is not a preview picture for you. But, please rest assure, the shirts will be adorable...especially if it ends up being a design you want!

Alright, get to entering!!!

I'm back, but I'm not back....except for a giveaway!

I've got to be honest here. I've enjoyed the break from Jelby's. There. I said it. I think I've been in denial, but it's true. I've been enjoying it so much that I forgot to introduce y'all to the reason I've been on a break....

Meet Max. He was born on April 19 and weighed 8lbs. 12oz. This picture was taken (by the lovely and talented, Melody C. Photography) when he was an itty bitty two weeks old. Sigh.

And, here's Max, just a week ago. He's a bruiser at five months old and 20 pounds! We love his spikey hair, sweet smile, go with the flow personality and serious brows. My girls are IN LOVE with their brother. Not a day goes by without a million kisses given to him, and I know you can see why:

Things have been busy in the Bankhead house! My oldest daughter started kindergarten, we've been sleep training (without much success) Maxers and I've started homeschooling my 3 year old. So, as you can see, there's not much time for Jelby's. But, lucky for you...I can't resist making holiday shirts!

I'll be (sort of) opening shop for my sister's "Holiday Trunk Show" in Keller, November 17th. More details will follow. I am not opening Jelby's for new orders quite yet. My plan is to make shirts for the show and then sell the rest on the blog after. I don't think I should, or will be making any for new orders until after the New Year.

Hopefully, I still have some followers to this little blog. I'd love some input as I start gathering materials and new ideas for the holiday shirts. And, just for fun (and to get some good replies!), let's do a GIVEAWAY!!

Leave a comment with a design idea you'd like to see on a shirt and I'll put your name in for a FREE holiday shirt! I'll pick a winner in TWO weeks, October 7th. The winner will get to pick a shirt from my "holiday line" that I'll be selling in Keller (and, who knows, I may pick your design to be included this year!). You can score some extra entries by blogging about this little giveaway and Facebooking about this giveaway. Please leave a comment for each entry (commenting, blogging or Facebooking).

I'll be back (but I won't be for real back) to let you know who the winner is!!!

Maternity leave

Jelby's is officially closed! Baby Max is due in 7 weeks! For those that have placed orders, they will be sent out as scheduled.

I'm not sure when I'll re-open. Please feel free to email me if you'd like to order something. I'll let you know if it's possible...not sure how this three-kid-gig is going to go:) I for sure plan to be back for the holidays! I have loved making unique items for your kiddos! Thanks for being such great customers to work with!

See you all again soon...with pictures of baby Max and his sisters!
