Okay, holy smokes, please don't hurt me!
I'm a little behind (no pun intended) on my orders. I've *just* finished all the orders that have been made since I re-opened my site on Sunday night.
We've had a number of family issues come up this week, and I am so very sorry for being delayed.
I'm fairly certain everything will be finished tomorrow and be shipped as well!
I just wanted to give a little update, and a big apology for keeping those booties waiting :)

Okay... So our cubes turn to liquid, despite being in boxes!
What a bummer!
I received a couple emails that the cubes were melted when they arrived to their destinations. The good news is, they aren't completely ruined. You can put the package of melted cubes in the refrigerator or freezer, then when they harden back up, you can cut them with a kitchen knife. Generally, I cut each cube to about the size of a fingernail (did you just look at your fingernails too?)...
I don't want to make them completely unavailable during the hot summer months, because I know some of you just love your cubes! Yay! That brings a smile to my face :)
However, I did make a big red attention message so my summer shoppers can decide whether or not to purchase insurance,
The other good news is that I am putting the foaming solutions, and the liquid concentrates on sale for the hot months, to encourage customers to try our other wonderful products!
And, on to the not-so-good news. Some of you may know that my daughter and I are currently going through a rough patch, as I am a single work at home mother raising my daughter 24/7. I would love to be at home with her for as long as I can, while raising and teaching her well. So I have decided to continue making Booty Cubes products as long as it allows me to stay at home with my daughter. No sympathy please - my daughter was the inspiration behind Booty Cubes and all of the products I make, so I thought it was important to share that information. Every choice I make in life, I try to make with the best interest of my beautiful, sweet little girl!
Now as teary-eyed as I am, feel that I should give a big thank you to my wonderful customers and those who have given Booty Cubes products such wonderful reviews!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I truly appreciate your patronage!

Oh HOORAY! Maybe I *can* keep shipping cubes during the hot months!
So I ordered some bulk shipping boxes (the unmarked kind so I can ship them via first class mail to provide affordable shipping) so I might just be able to continue shipping cubes through the summer!
I'm really hoping this works. I know the heat might still be a problem, but at least the cubes are less likely to get squished! Whew!
This past week I've successfully learned how to print shipping labels through Paypal!!!
Now I don't have to stand in line at the post office forever!!!
You have no idea how excited this makes me :)
I'm thinking my next plan of action will be to start using the package pickup provided by USPS, so then I wont have to physically go to the post office (except for International orders, but still, I like getting out of the house now and then so I'd welcome International orders for that very reason!)...
Today I shipped ALL outstanding orders - except for one order which was placed just before the post office closed.
So with that, ALL orders as of 8:00 p.m. PST this Thursday June 5th have been SHIPPED!
Except for jeffg...@yah...com - your order will be completed tomorrow and shipped on Saturday!
Tomorrow I will be going to my Grandma's because I want to use her big table to dye some fabrics and projects I have going :)
For anyone who is interested in seeing my past dye projects, here's a little peek at the Goodmamas I've dyed! I've dyed a lot of flats and fabric yardage as well, but wasn't as motivated to get pictures of those... Doh!
Me trying to be artsy fartsy with my camera there, and not working too well. LOL
I call these our "water" dipes, because the blue is so pretty, it reminds me of crystal clear water in a lake :)
A couple dip-dyed with variations of purple!
My daughter's lovely GM - I went a little wild on this one, but we are kind of wild :D
Here's a GM I dyed for a lovely Canadian mama recently!
Here's the one I listed on Spots Corner as an auction, to which my good friend H won :)
