Happy Holidays!!!  We will be moving at the end of this coming week (December 17th).  We are having Christmas with our children first, then loading the truck and traveling 1200 miles to our new home in Pagosa Springs, Colorado.  I will be putting my store on hold for 1-2 weeks until we get settled.  Any questions or concerns, you can email me at grammypherson@yahoo.com.  I will check my email when time permits during that time and when I have a computer available to me.  I expect to be up and running by the first of the year.  Thanks to all of my fellow ebayers and your patronage.  It is much appreciated.  

BREAKING NEWS!!!!  We are moving out of state to Colorado.  I will be listing a lot of items at .99 cent to get rid of them.  I will be listing these over the next month or two.  I will combine shipping but you must let me send you an invoice first.  When it comes time to move, I will put my store on vacation hold until we get settled.  I am selling most of my fabric, all of my scrapbooking items and anything else I need to get rid of. Many thanks ebayers for all of your support. Happy holidays!!!

My 3 year old grandson, went thru open surgery with no complications, and is doing great.  Thanks for your patience fellow ebayers while I was gone.  I am back now mailing of items will return to normal.  Thanks.

September 22th, 2009 - I will be putting my store on vacation hold starting September 23rd, anything bought before then will need to paid for before September 22nd.  My grandson whom is 3 years old, has to have open heart surgery on September 25th.  I will gone during this time to be with him.  I apologize for any inconveniences this may cause.  Please keep him in your prayers.  Thanks fellow ebayers.

August 13th, 2009 - We are settling into our new home.  I am downsizing my craft room in half due to my craft room being a smaller room.  I will be listing fabric for sale for the next couple of months. Thanks to all of you for bidding or buying.

Hello fellow ebayers...my new email address is grammypherson@yahoo.com.

We are moving.....Our new address is 10233 Heim Road, Chandler, IN 47610 effective June 1st.

April 6th, 2009 - My Grandpa will be starting his maintenance chemo on Tuesday April 7th.  He usually has heart complications and ends up in the hospital during this time.  Please be patient with me during this next month.  We also finally sold our house on Thursday and we will be moving between May 2nd-9th.  We are only going 6 miles from this home.  It shouldn't be too bad of a move.  The only catch is the house we are moving to we are gutting the inside and redoing it.  I will be running sales all month long as my new sewing room is going to be smaller and I am trying to downsize my sewing items.  Any questions please email me right away, I will answer as soon as I can.  Thanks bunches!!!

April 5th, 2009 - Hello everybody, we were sucessful at being able to take my Grandpa to Florida for his kinda last vacation.  He had a blast and so did we. He ate very well, covered a lot of beaches, saw the Blue Angels, toured the Naval Avaition Museum, toured the Zoo Northwest, also went to Gulf Shores, AL area to show him that.  We crossed the 3 mile bridge from Pensacola down to Gulf Breeze, he was also impressed with that long breeze.  We were in shorts most of the time, but we kept him bundled up nice and warm due to it being very windy down there.  Many thanks for everybody's understanding while we were gone on this trip.    

March 1st, 2009 -  YOUR SHIPMENT MAYBE DELAYED: due to my grandfather's health and we are trying to get him well enough to take him on his last trip to Florida which he requested. My mom and I are the only ones that take care of him. He is currently in the hospital and we hope he gets to go home on Monday.  We are DUE TO LEAVE FOR FLORIDA MARCH 21st AND RETURN MARCH 29th.  NOTHING WILL BE MAILED OUT DURING THIS TIME.  Thanks for all of your prayers and understanding.

As some of you may already know, my 91 year old Grandpa has lymphoma.  He was diagnosed last June. He has attempted 4 rounds of chemo and each time has had a heart attack due to the fact his heart is not strong enough to handle the fluids given during chemo.  It is now time again for another round of chemo.  We are taking him to Pensacola, Florida for his last vacation as this is the place he wishes to travel to.  We are leaving on March 21st and returning on March 29th.  I will be having sales until that time to try and raise a little more cash to ensure he has a wonderful trip as we suspect this will be his last trip. Items will be delayed during the time we are gone.  Mail will resume going out on March 30th.  We appreciate very much everybody's patronage and understanding. Thank you.

GREAT NEWS!!!!  The time has finally come for the arrival of our 2nd grandson, Lucas James.  He will be born on November 14th, 2008 @ 7:30am via c-section due to him trying to become the youngest Indianapolis Colts Football Kicker in history (lol!)!!! He is breech, feet first, so this is why a c-section is necessary.  FYI - I WILL BE OUT OF TOWN FROM NOVEMBER 13TH - 17TH.  IF YOU PURCHASE ANYTHING DURING THIS TIME FRAME, YOUR ORDER WILL BE DELAYED UNTIL I RETURN HOME.  I will be shipping items immediatedly upon my arrival back home.  I also will be checking ebay off an on, so please be patient, if I do not respond to questions right away, I will answer them.  Thanks to all of the ebayers out there that have been purchasing items from me. 

September 1, 2008: Hello, it saddens me to have to say this, but my Grandpa whom is 91 years old, was diagnosed with lymphoma in June.  He has had 3 rounds of chemo and everytime ends up in the hospital due to heart attack/heart problems.  My mom and I are the only ones taking care of him. If I do not respond to an email right away, please bear with me I am not ignoring you, and I will answer all emails asap. Shipments could be delayed a day or two, but I am still trying to go to the post office everyday Monday thru Friday.

 Hello, my name is Lisa...I started out making blankets & burp cloths for my cousin's baby 6 years ago.  My cousin was told she was having a boy according to the doctor. A trip to the emergency room one night during her pregnancy required a second ultrasound, and it showed a girl..OOPS!!...I had all of her baby boy items made.  She was very upset about this, I told her not to worry, and I just started over making baby girl items for her.  We had a good laugh over that one. 

   In June of 2006 my husband and I were blessed with our first grandchild!!! His name is Will and he arrived on June 13,2006.  I made all of his blankets and burp cloths for him also.

   My daughters have also enjoyed giving my handmade items out as gifts to their friends.  My cousin also had her 2nd child in August 9, 2006. Hannah and Jacob loves their blankets that I have made them.  My cousin says Jacob loves to drag his blankets all over the house.  She likes them because they are nice, warm and clean up easy.

My children have been on me to branch out so I did.  I opened my store, Blankies & Burpies by Lisa in September of 2007, by Thanksgiving of 2007, Ebay invited me to become a powerseller, because I had met all of their criteria in the previous months to become a power seller, so I became one. 

I make all different size baby blankets: cuddle size to full size.  I also make burp cloths in various sizes. I am now starting to make my burp cloths bigger due to customer requests.  These are actually going to be burp cloths / security blankets.  The bigger burp cloths can also be used as security blankets and are great for those tiny little fingers to hold onto when a full size blanket is just a little too much to handle.  I also make fleece  blankets and fleece tied blankets. 

I make pet blankets also out of fleece.  These pet blankets are absolutely wonderful!!!  The animals love to lay on them.  The fleece is nice and cozy, plus it attracts pet hair, thus leaving less animal hair laying around on your furniture.  I have them laying all over the floor in the house for our cats.  Our cats love them. They will either stretch completely out on them or they will move them around, wad them up and then lay on them like a pillow.  They are so spoiled!  When they get dirty with animal hair, I just throw them in the washer, wash them, and put them in the dryer (I highly recommend using a dryer sheet to keep down static electricity), once they are done drying, they come out looking new. These have been a hit with all the animal lovers.   

I stay very busy, with all my sewing, my five cats and our snakes (yes, I said snakes).  I am constantly searching and shopping for fabric.  My craft room is full of fabric.  I try to buy all of the fabric on sale and get it as cheap as possible so I can offer my fellow ebayers low prices on the items that I make.  My minimum bids fluctuate due to the cost of fabric.  One burp cloth or blanket may be one price and another maybe lower in cost or higher in cost.  It all depends on the cost of fabric. I base my cost based on the cost of the fabric.

I will tell you this, I am not a perfect person and from time to time I do make a mistake.  I try to advertise an item throroughly.  If by chance, I have made a mistake in the auction, please be give me a chance to make it right.  I strive to have and keep my 100% positive feedback and believe in customer service.  I believe a satisfied customer is a happy customer and I want all of my customers to be happy.  If you have a problem please contact me right away so we can work it out.

I hope everybody enjoys their blankies and burpies like we do!!!

Many thanks for looking at my auctions and good luck bidding!!!
