This is me with my son Bryce, summer 2008

Hi, and thank you for looking at my listings and viewing my "About Me" page. I am married to a great guy named Rob who works very hard so that I can stay home with our son, Bryce, who is 4. I was in the dental profession for 13 years until Feb of 2007. I now do home daycare part time to help supplement our family income and also sell custom printed party items in my eBay store "Chloe's Custom Creations" as well as sell my sons gently used outgrown clothing. Without the extra income eBay provides I would have to go back to a job outside our home...which I don't plan to do until Bryce is in school full time.

I started as a buyer on eBay while on maternity leave. I was looking for name brand clothing for my son that was not available in my area. A lot of the websites that sold the brands I was after did not ship to Canada...so, after eBay listing after eBay listing came up in my Google searches I decided to give it a try. I think I was addicted the very first day!! I couldn't believe all the stuff I found...it was overwhelming! I had to reign myself in for fear of bankrupting us!! :o) I made a few mistakes (like not asking for shipping fees before bidding) and bid on a few items that I should have thought through first as I ended up winning some things I really didn't want but had to pay for since I committed myself. I also paid waaaay too much for a few things because I got caught up in the bidding in the final few minutes! (Haven't we all??) But I have enjoyed every minute of it! As a buyer you can expect almost immediate payment from me via PayPal instant transfer. I always communicate my intentions if I am interested in bidding on multiple items that end 5 or 6 days apart as I understand not all sellers wish to wait that long.

My son Bryce summer of 2007 ~ the reason I eBay!!

Now...a little about me as a seller. I try very hard to get your items out to you quickly after I receive your payment. I try to ship the most economical way I can that doesn't take forever! Canada Post shipping rates are, in my opinion, ridiculously high! It is much more economical to combine shipping if you can and I don't mind waiting for you to finish bidding for a few days or even a week or so as long as you communicate your intentions to me! I am pretty easy to work with! My feedback score speaks for itself so you can rest assured you are dealing with an honest seller!

If you are interested in custom printed party items in a theme you don't see listed in my store please email me with your request...I am more than willing to try to accomodate you! If you are in a rush for your items please contact me prior to purchasing to see if it will get to you in time. Shipping across the border takes longer and I would hate to see your items arrive a day or two late for the event! Also, please make sure that US Postal Money Orders are NOT the green ones...they are marked NEGOTIABLE ONLY IN THE U.S. AND POSSESSIONS on the front and back...which means they are not cashable in Canada. I have received a few of these and it greatly delays processing your order. I prefer PayPal...it is quick and easy!

That about covers it! Again, thank you for stopping by! I realize there are lots of options out there in the world of eBay and I appreciate you considering me as one of them! Have a great day and please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or requests you may have!  Alana :o)

***PLEASE NOTE*** I am adding this notation due to the HIGH number of buyers that don't read all the details in my listings. Specifically the shipping times! I am in CANADA...so if you are not then please be aware that shipping time can take 2+ weeks to get to your location if you are in the US. I do offer express shipping options via Purolator or Canada Post and am happy to provide quotes for those services upon request. If you need your items in less than 2 weeks and you reside in the US then express is the only guaranteed shipping method. If you choose to use regular air as offered in the listing I AM NOT RESPONBILE for transit time! Thank you! :o)
