Welcome To my page, and thanks for taking the time to take a peek at what I have to say here.

I hope you take the time to look at the links I have placed at the bottom of this page under my "favorite links". When you use any of those links you will be directed to a new page so you don't lose your space here on ebay.

All my friends call me ~kris, even though my real name is a bit longer. But I'm a gal from North Central, North Dakota. I haven't lived here all my life, and I've traveled the world and lived abroad for a number of years while growing up as a kid.

But I'm now married with children with two dogs and cat. I'm a stay at home mom and have been since my first daughter was born. My husband works for a local grain elevator and also helps out in their fertilizer and chemical department in the spring and summer.

I've got three wonderful kids and the two youngest two are special needs. Yet both are so very precious in their own ways. What I wouldn't give for them to not have their quarks, yet it gives them their own special personalities.

My son has severe ADHD, problems with both fine and gross motor skills, mood disorder, vision problems and we suspect asperger's syndrome but the Dr doesn't want to make an official diagnosis because of his strong case of ADHD. (Doesn't want him to have a label.) Our daughter has PDD-NOS which is a form of Autism. But unlike autistic kids that are non-verbal, she is verbal, but also tends to borderline OCD with many things. Things must be done a specific way or we deal with a melt down. Or things like loud noises and crowds of people bother her.

I choose to sell on ebay as a way to supplement our income. So i do this for profit rather than just fun. Even though it can be fun to meet all sorts of new people.

I started out on ebay as a buyer and slowly switched to selling, and now I do both. But my buying is done on a separate account. I buy supplies for the items that I sell, but I also buy for myself and my family as well. And then I decided to open a store on ebay and the rest is history. I am very proud that I have learned so much about ebay and do comply to their rules. Even though many times I disagree with them. And I'm proud of everything else I have learned about computers, HTML and about the products that I sell.

My reborn doll bottles started as a whim several years ago for my daughter. But then I realized there were many things wrong with the recipes that I purchased and set out to learn how to make them better so they wouldn't go bad, separate and stay fresh for the future. I have spent a lot of time working on my recipes and throwing out batches that I wasn't happy with so please don't ask me to share my recipes or my ingredients.

When I first started with my bath and body products I just started with simple bath salts. Mostly for personal use and for my kids. But it didn't take me long till I realized that I needed to learn how to make soap. One of the medications my son takes is a very strong one in the class of antipsychotic medications. And one of the side effects is photo-sensitivity. Meaning even a few minutes in the sun can give him a really bad sunburn. And we soon learned that cool baths helped with oatmeal, but the down side was the store bought soap also irritated his already sensitive skin. So we found that handmade soap made the old fashioned way was our miracle. Only by that time the rest of the family was addicted. And from there I set out to learn how to make the other products that I offer in my store. I don't use premade mixes, but instead I learned how to make all these products, and how to make them while having the right balance of all the ingredients and make them safely as well.

Because I feel safety is extremely important and I feel saddened at all the buyers on ebay who are buying products that they think are safe but are not. Namely the products that should be made with a chemical preservative. The benefits outweigh any risks for using them and only a small amount is used. And the number of sellers who are looking to make a quick buck rather than thinking of the safety of their customers. And those that do not comply with the FDA rules set up for selling handmade bath and body products.

But I also sell other items as well, depending on what I have to get rid of or what I find to sell. Some of my items come from thrift stores or garage sales as well. I'm proud of the items I sell and would never consider selling something that I wouldn't buy for myself or my family.
