"I wanted to let you know that I received your package last friday and I loved it!
The turtle blanket is our absolute favorite (mine and baby's): it's super super soft and we love to snuggle in it! This afternoon, my 8-month old (her name is Flavia) even made up a game: stand up holding on the bed rail and then letting herself fall into the blanket! She played with it for quite some time. The edge came out perfect by the way.
The minky blanket is also great (VERY soft. I'll think about a big minky blanket too in the future..). And the towels are wonderful: large enough to tuck the whole baby in (no more feet/legs left out :) and very soft as well.
Thanks so much for your service. I'll definitely recommend you to other mamas!
My best,
~Milena, CA
“I ordered a hat for my daughter and paid $25. 2 weeks later at the Big E, saw the same one for $5! Ripped off by you.”
~Tracy, CT
My response to Tracy, although she must have blocked my email address since it wouldn't go through, was:
"I’m sorry you feel this way. Usually when people order from me they are well aware that they are ordering a homemade product and are willing to pay a reasonable price for something made in the United States and not something made in China by a factory worker. If you didn’t understand this at the time you ordered then I’m very sorry. I’m assuming the hat fit well and kept your child warm, otherwise you would have returned it. I also doubt very seriously it was “the same one” that you found at Big E as I’ve never heard of them and certainly don’t sell to outlet stores. I recommend you continue to shop at Big E to find your bargains and stay away from Grammas making homemade items for children."
To be fair, the hat Tracy ordered was $22 plus $6.80 for shipping. It was shipped to Connecticut from Alaska 2 days after she ordered it. I never heard from Tracy until she requested her email be removed from my list which I gladly did.

"As always, it is a pleasure doing business with you. I have told family and friends about your business. It is so nice to get quality, American made products (mittens) for my little Christopher. I’ll try to get a pic to you of him modeling your stuff."
~Zara, VA
"Thanks for the mittens...I received them today Dec. 24 and they will be great for her. Thanks so much for your quick response and I certainly will spread the word about your work."
~Marilyn, IL
"Just wanted to let you know how delighted I am with my order and how timely delivery was. I received it over the weekend but hadn't a chance to write you until now.
I gave your website to my friends and they will be visiting you shortly. I also mentioned how accommodating your "customer service" is! Thank you so much, Gayle, it's been a pleasure. I can't wait until I see my little Ashlee all wrapped up and snuggly in one of her new "big kid" towels. She was just 2 on the 21st. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year."
~Christine, NJ
"I just had to write to let you know I received my towel order today and absolutely love them! They are nice thick quality and great workmanship from you. I was nervous taking a gamble over the internet, but I will definitely be spreading the word among my friends. My kids will be ecstatic when they open them. I wish you weren't so far away--I'm sure that greatly impacts shipping. Thanks again!"
~Lisa, NE
"I wanted to let you know that the hooded towels I ordered from you arrived. They are fabulous!! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much for sharing your craft.
Have a wonderful holiday season."
~Diane, VA
"I received the Bath Towel at the end of last week. I am very pleased with it. Thank you. You’ll probably hear from me in the near future. Have a wonderful Holiday and continued success with your business. Best regards,"
~Joyce, PA
"Towels arrived and they are perfect!! Thank you!"
~Hannah, NJ
"I received the bibs yesterday and they are sooooo cute! It's nice to have a gift that is one of a kind. I babysit the most precious little 3 month old one day a week. I don't have any grandchildren ---yet, so I call her my borrowed grandchild."
~Rhonda, NC
"Got my stuff today.... love my hat!... it's perfect and cute and warm! Like what you did with the top. Feels great too. Looks good with last year's fuchsia, too. Thanks!"
~Susan, MN
"Got the blanket today (Monday). It looks great. Thanks so much, I only wish I can sew like that. I will need one more but different color. She may want it with cars ,balls and things like that because its a boy. I will let you know when. Thanks again,"
~Yvonne, TN
"My delighted friends received the package on Friday. She adored the blanket and said it matched his nursery perfectly. Thanks again for your attention to detail and for helping me give such a precious gift. With appreciation,"
~Tammy, FL
"I just wanted to tell you that I received the "I spy" pillows and they are just beautiful!! Thanks for your hard work, I know Chloe and Liam are going to love them. Next birthday we go to I am getting one for a gift!! You do great work!! Take Care and God bless,"
~Simone, ID
"The towels arrived today, and they are FANTASTIC!! I can't wait for my friends and family to see them! I will recommend your website and surely visit it again myself soon!
Great job, and thank you!"
~Sharon, HI
"Just wanted to let you know I received the quilt and I spy bag. They are both terrific. The girls I work with loved both of them, but couldn't put the I spy bag down! Thank you for taking the time to make these, Kelan will love them. Sincerely," ~Lindie, TX
"I just wanted to say thank you for Isabella's blanket!! It's perfect and she loves it already!! Lucy thinks it's so great that they now have matching bah-bahs :) I'll have to take a picture of them with them and send it to you!! Thank you again for getting it here so quickly!!"
~Desiree', PA
"I got home late last night and my package was waiting for me. I am so impressed with the quality of the towel! I am so excited...I have already washed it twice and am drying it to use on the boys tonight. Do you have or can you make the washcloth/handtowel sets to go with these? We will be ordering more towels in the future! Thanks again."
~Wendee, NC
"I realized that I never sent you the kudos for both sets of goodies that you sent me back in March. I appreciate you accommodating my timeline, and making sure I had my shower gifts in time - and it was "in time" - both boys were born within 2 weeks of receiving their gifts!
Here's the first one, who received the cowboy bear set (lap pad, burp cloth & changing pad + 1 each of the leashes); khaki bib; red, black & white sensory ball + the Autism Speaks I Spy pillow for big sister:
"Elise and Evan got the package yesterday and I'm thinking that "Gramma" knows a few things out there in Alaska. Elise (and I) can't put down the "window pillow" and Evan can't stop drooling on everything else. Don't you know drool is baby for "I love it!"?
The second one was the gold & green froggy set (lap pad, burp cloth & changing pad + 1 each of the leashes); olive green bib & froggy hug'em - I really appreciate you working with me on the froggy binky leash ribbon."
~Jenne, IL
From Jenne's gift recipient: "I wanted to let you know that the bib you got us is THE BEST bib ever. It is like a towel, but in bib form. It works great!" ~Lala
"Just a note to let you know that I received the blankets. I was very satisfied with your product. I had previously ordered a blanket from another site on line and paid $70 for just the blanket and it was of extremely poor quality. I thought maybe after we washed it it would soften and fluff up. It did not and was then to late to return it. I was reluctant to order from you. The reason I choose to was from the picture. I was able to see that it was what I was looking for. I will recommend you to friends and family. Thanks again,"
~Donna, AZ
"Thank you very much. PLEASE accept my appreciation for a fantastic product you made/order. Not just for this order, but the one before it...yellow hooded towel with Isabella written on it. I have ordered towels by other online folks and the towels are nice, but do not have the sewing quality that yours does. I understand making these hooded towels are not very difficult if you're talented enough to do it and have the machine etc, but it is VERY clear the quality difference between your product and others I have seen. The quality of the hood is much nicer on your models than other models I have seen. Even though it is more work on your side, the bands that are sewn on the hood and the sides really do add such a nice character compared to other options I have seen online. Your price is a wee bit more, but WELL WORTH IT and I plan on ordering more in the future. You are welcome to use this compliment as you see fit on your web site/recommendations, etc. The Lord surely has blessed you in such a talent and service you offer us. Luv & hugs,"
~Shelly, LA
"I wanted to update you and thank you. You were right, the difference in the two tone Minky was very subtle. The transition was perfect. With the help of her big brother, Neva notices no difference between the large blanket in her bed and the small one you made. She loves them both equally. Now we can bring the small "pinkie" with us when we travel. Thank you so much again, we are lucky to have found you."
~Nicole and Neva, FL
Gramma's Note: "Pinkie" is a Minky Blankie, hemmed instead of using a satin binding so it would resemble her large Minky blanket also made without a satin binding (not a Gramma item) - much easier to take along on a little lady's travels. See pictures on Customer Photo's Page.
"Hi Gayle- The blankets (Minky & Satin Blankies) are beautiful- what beautiful craftsmanship! I sent your link to 2 of my girlfriends who were in the same boat as me with their children's blankies...so if you get any orders soon from CT or NY, those are my friends!"
~Lauren, CT
"I keep forgetting to write to you. Your blanket (I Spy Quilt) came 2 hours before the shower :) it was the hit of the shower. Thanks Gayle, soo soo much,"
~Kathy, CA
"Hi Gayle, My daughter, Becky, just received some items she ordered from you and I saw them yesterday. They are WONDERFUL and I was so excited that I came home and ordered things for my daycare and, of course, Becky's son, Colton, my 1st grandchild.
I'm extra excited because they will come from Alaska. My husband and I have been there two times and fell in love with it. We hope to make another trip up there soon. How lucky you are to live there!
You are very talented - thank you for sharing your talent with us so that we may have your items as well. Take care."
~Linda, MN
"My son just lost his first tooth and we bought a tooth pillow from you awhile back. He's been so anxious to use it and he finally got to. Thanks for the great pillow. Such a great product. Thanks," See pictures on Customer Photo's Page.
~Julee, CA
"I just wanted to let you know that I got the I Spy Bags today, and I absolutely LOVE them! Thank you so much!!
~Jen, UT
"Hello Gayle,
I received the (Long Drool) bib yesterday and I let him wear it to school today. It is perfect. You can go ahead and make the rest of them. Once again thank you so much."
~Dorothy, AR
and later...
"Wow, that was fast. I thank you so very much. I really appreciate this. Now my 13 year old cerebral Palsy child will look like a big boy. And the bibs match his school uniform shirts. This makes him look more like the other children and not like a baby. I have added you to my address book so when we are ready for more I can e-mail you. I will definitely recommend you to anyone who needs these items. Once again thank you Gayle and may God bless you my friend."
~Dorothy, AR
"I received the two I Spy Bags that I ordered from you (each with a different fabric pattern) and I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with them. The quality of the fabric and workmanship, down to the last stitch are just amazing. I love the way the list of hidden objects is printed and stitched onto the back of the pouch instead of on a separate hang tag. The fabric is fleecy soft and heavenly to touch. The pouch is nicely stuffed with pellets and the clear "window" is small enough to make the game a challenge. I bought some commercially and the quality was inferior, the window was so large that all the objects were readily visible all at once and the beads were so minimal that it was hardly a challenge to find the objects! So yours are really quite superior in quality as well as quantity of material. I am really impressed. I had a question: Are all of your I Spy Bags filled with an identical list of items? I ordered one with the Noah's Ark animals with the Bible print so that one has a different mix, but if I were to order more bags with various fabric choices, would their contents be the same or would they still all contain the same list of hidden objects? Is there a variation? Thank you for your reply and for your beautiful products. All the attention to detail in choosing materials and in the careful perfect stitching and assembly and mix of items to find are so appreciated. (And yours, considering the higher quality, are a better value. Your prices are reasonable for these. Your choices of fabric are wonderful and that is an added value. I will definitely be telling people about your website and products. These I Spy Bags are just wonderful! Thank you! Sincerely,"
~Catherine, WA
My answer to Catherine's questions:
"I make up the assortment of items in batches of 6 and depending on the # of bags ordered at one time, I usually make up a second batch of girl / boy / either items that would have several different items in it. They are always changing depending on the items I can get at the time. I have a lot of fun looking for suitable items that are new and different. At the time you order just let me know that you would like them as different as I can at the time. Another way to get different assortments is to order an Either bag. It has girl and boy stuff in it – not too boyish and not too girly."
"I received the (Long Drool Bibs Velcro Waterproof Back) bibs and the (Big Kid Hooded) towel the other day. They came out great. Thank you so much for getting them to me so fast." ....then... "I love the towel. Can you make me another in the same yellow?"
~Charlene, NY (A Frequent Customer)
"Received the (Big Kid Hooded) towels. They are beautiful! I have sent them to my daughter (I live in Ohio, she lives in Kentucky) and I will let you know what the boys think of them. I am sure they will love them. I showed them to some ladies at work, and they love them, also. Passed your card to my boss because she has a baby shower coming up. Thanks for your great customer service."
~Mary, OH
"The bibs (X-Large Drool Bib w/Shoulder Wings) are wonderful. Your a lifesaver. I will definitely get in touch with you when I need more or if someone else needs them. Once again thank you from the bottom, top, sides, and middle of my heart. May God bless you as you help others. Thank You,"
~Dorothy, AR
"Hi Gayle, I received the (Big Kid Hooded) towels I ordered today, and they are absolutely gorgeous. I will definitely tell my friends about you."
~Carol, NY
"I received all the items and they are wonderful. Thanks again for being part "getting ready for baby". All the best in the new year."
~Pat, VA
"Hi Gayle, ...I received mittens when I got home from work the day I sent you the email about not receiving them. They fit perfect. I love them and want more colors. Hee hee ha ha. I really had my family on a wild goose chase this Christmas trying to find mittens just like these. No retailer sells them. Great for you. So I am very happy to have them. I am keeping your information for the future. Maybe my girls will want a pair later. Thank you,
~Heidi, OH
"I received the mittens yesterday and they fit perfectly. Thank you."
~Sherilyn, AL
"Hello, I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely loved the (Big Kid Hooded) towels that I ordered for Christmas. They were of such nice quality, and I could tell that they were made with love. I want to order two more. Thank you, Thank you!"
~Sandra, NY
"Hi Gayle, Thanks for the prompt delivery of the mittens...they are beautifully made! However my husband has found that he can't use the "thumbed mittens" I'm hoping that we can exchange these for the flapped mittens without thumbs. The same color is fine. We have searched everywhere for mittens like these! If we can't exchange, we will still order the mittens without thumbs....please let me know the additional charges. Again thanks for your service..I hope to order for my grand daughter soon."
~Nancy, NJ
"I received my light blue puppy print hooded towel today and LOVE it. My son is getting too big for the baby towel and this towel is perfect! I was pleasantly surprised at how thick the towel was and how adorable the border is on the towel. Thank you so much for making baby products of such great quality. I will be back to shop again:)"
~Liz, MI
"I received the (Big Kid Hooded) towels this weekend. I LOVE THEM! I have recommended your website to many of my friends. Thanks again for doing such a great job and you did it so fast."
~Michelle, MO
"The test bib (X-Long Drool Bib w/Shoulder Wings) is awesome. Matthew came home on Sunday and it has been in and out of the wash repeatedly since then! Many Thanks......"
~Laura, Canada
"Dear Gramma, My daughter in Hilliard ,Ohio has your security blankets for her son and loves them. I am ordering them for my younger daughter's little boy to be born this spring. I think your website is great fun. I am sure you will hear from me again!!!! Sincerely,"
~Kathi, GA
"Gayle--I received the (Big Kid Hooded) towels today and they are absolutely beautiful! The towels are nice and thick and your workmanship is terrific. One of my boys loves purple, and it's so hard to find really dark purple things for him. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks and I know we'll love using the towels. Have a Happy New Year!"
~Vicki, WA
"Dear Gayle, I had received the mittens from my brother this evening. They are beautiful. Thank you. The one in the army green one fits perfect since I had tried it on. And it is very similar to the old one. The blue/purple one is bigger but I think it is good. I know who to go to for new mittens next time. Have a good day! Cheers,"
~Lavina
"Hi Gayle, I received your beautiful handy work. Thank you so much. I am blessed with your creativity. Thanks,"
~Kathy, CA
"The little hat arrived today for Emma and it is PERFECT!! We are so happy with it! It fits very well and she didn’t even try to pull it off!! :) I really like that it fits her head and won’t allow the cold air in around her ears too much. The resized chin strap works just fine! Thank you so much! I’ll definitely be ordering more from you as she grows!! I will send you a picture soon! Cheers,"
~Khristina, AK
"I recently purchased the bed pad (Lap Pad) and bib from you. I just wanted to thank you. The products are wonderful, and they work well with my son. The quality is remarkable. I will order from you again very soon. I am one pleased customer! Thanks,"
~Britney, MI
"Dear Gayle,
Your mittens arrived tonight. Thank you, thank you. They fit beautifully and so easy to put on. It didn't take 15 minutes, and it is a lot easier on my teeth. I haven't been outside since they arrived, but I will be sure to let you know as soon as I do. Thank you so much,"
~Madeline
"Gayle! I got my (I Spy) bags today and LOVE them! Thank you so much. Have a great holiday!"
~Sarah, IL
"Gayle, I received the mittens on Friday and they are EXACTLY what I was looking for! Today we took Mom out to church and dinner afterward and couldn't wait to give her "the mittens" to wear. Gayle, my mother loved those mittens! She said herself that she can't get her thumbs into regular mittens and no problems putting these on or removing them. She also mentioned about wearing the lined mittens to see the Lights at Hershey. I shared your business card with others and I hope they follow through with these marvelous mittens. Thank you for advertising on the internet. My family here in Harrisburg and Hershey wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Bless you,"
~Gayle, PA
"I forgot I never got back to you to tell you how happy we are with my brother's mittens. He's already worn them to his son's hockey game. You probably know how cold those rinks are. Thanks so much for your attention to detail in creating them. We'll probably get more sometime."
~Mary Jane, NY
"Wanted to let you know the puppy blanket was the hit of the shower. I knew some of my daughter's friends were going all out on gifts (like $100+ diaper bags...what are they thinking?) but that blanket was just awesome. They were just awestruck that I found a fleece blanket with satin binding. Unknown! Courtney read your card and she said "you got it from all the way in Alaska?" Then all the women commented how you can find anything you want if you search long enough on the net. We took a photo of Courtney, Jarron and myself with the blanket to send you. So, thank you."
~JoAnn, IA
"I’m so excited! We received your package today and everything is so cute and nicely done. I love the cupcake border on the towel and I like that you used brown on the towel for her name. Thanks so much. Avery loves all of it also and when he saw the bib he said, “Awe how cute!”"
~Sally, CA
"About a year ago I ordered a batch of bibs from you for my son who is profoundly disabled and drools excessively. We had tried an assortment of bibs before discovering yours and had never been truly happy with the end result. I would like to order a new batch of your bibs (I gradually want to replace all our "other" bibs with your style). We really think your products are great. Worth going to Alaska for!"
~Laura, Canada
"Oh, holy smokes…. What a beautiful job. I would not change a thing. I will be seeing her soon and will let her try it on. (Polar Fleece Hooded Scarf) The quality of the fleece is so great, it is more like cashmere! God bless your hands, Madame! There is a great likelihood I will be ordering more."
~Joan, ME
"Sawyer's Quilt looks just BEAUTIFUL (front & back)! The whole family is going to LOVE it! How AWESOME! Mark and I love the Big Rig Semi-Truck you found! It is going to be such fun getting to visit Sawyer and 'playing' with his I Spy Quilt; we can hardly wait to get back to Tennessee! You did a WONDERFUL job! Thank you SO much! I'll send some pictures of Sawyer with his quilt! Again, thank you so much and keep up the great work!"
~Abra, OK
"As the father of a 10 year old daughter with special needs, I must say that I am very happy with your product. (Waterproof Drool Bibs) Can you please duplicate the attached order using the same billing/shipping data? Thanks again for a wonderful product."
~Morris, LA
"My father received the mittens today and LOVES them. I am going to let him try them for a little while and make sure he doesn't need any adjustments and then order a couple more pair. THANK YOU!!!!!"
~Julie, PA
"The bibs arrived today. Thank you. I like the waterproof backing. They are all very nicely made. I'll see what Emily says and see if she thinks she needs more."
~Phyllis, MO
"Thank you for the very prompt service - my Mittens arrived today! I am very pleased with the quality of the mittens, and I am sure they will keep me warm when out and about in my wheelchair. (It's amazing how cold hands can get when one's just sitting in a chair.) An excellent product and excellent service. Kind regards."
~Anne, UK
"Just wanted to say thanks for the great work you do. I ordered some newborn hats when my twins were born in March to wear in the hospital so we could tell which Twin was A and B. Thanks again for making my twin boys the talk of the hospital birthing center." (Picture on Customer Photos page)
~Julee, CA
"The quilt looks sooo great. Thank you. I can't wait to give it to my sister. Thanks again,"
~Kristi, NY
"You did a wonderful job on the minky dot blankie. Now I have something to fall back on if she loses it or it gets washed to shreds! Thanks Again,"
~Cathy, MS
"We received Anthony's towel in the mail today, it is wonderful you did such a beautiful job thank you so much!! Thank you,"
~Jane, MI
"My daughter and I are thrilled with the lovely baby items you sent us. Everything is beautifully sewed and the fabrics are baby-perfect! Thanks so much!!!"
~Page, ID
"I received the blankets. They are beautiful. Thank you!"
then,
"I held the baby shower on Thursday and everyone LOVED your blankets!
They were a huge hit. One mom, who had just had her second child, could not get the blanket away from her 2 year-old. She loved it.
Thank you so much!"
~Jane, WI
"I have been thinking of you and wanting to get in touch again. We have a new granddaughter, 1 week old, and for Christmas I would like to have a big kid towel for her. I ordered kid's towels for our other two grandkids for Christmas (2007) and they love them. I would want pink but do you have a print with cupcakes on it as she is my "little cupcake"? Thanks and look forward to hearing from you."
~Sally, CA
"The (long drool) bibs are just perfect! I absolutely love them....so soft and absorbent. These are my "fancy bibs" which I use for travel, visiting with family, and eating at restaurants. To be honest, I like them because they are respectable meaning not childish-looking which is important since most 4.5 year olds do not wear bibs. Big hugs,"
~Tina, TX
"Gayle, I received the [Reflux/GERD] bibs today. They are perfect!! Thank you so much for working with me on this. I hope this story ends up on your special needs page. I know Dalton is not the only baby with reflux and maybe some mom hadn't even thought to do this. Take care,"
~Tami, CA
"Gayle - I just was looking over your web site to show Ava the blankie you made her and she was so surprised. She will be 5 in Sept and to this day she still holds that blankie dear to her." (Reference to the original Ava Blankie)
~Susan
"Just received the navy penguin blanket today. It's absolutely beautiful and your work is really of fine quality! Thank you for such quick shipping. I'll be sure to add a comment in your website guestbook."
~David, MD
"Dear Gayle: I wanted to send my sincerest thanks to you for the absolutely lovely blanket that you made for Connor. The size is perfect and the color is the most amazing shade of blue. I can count on one hand the number of things my son has received that have been an “instant” attraction for him but never has he taken to a blanket so quickly. The evening the blanket came, I told him the story of where it came from and how it was made by a very special lady in a very cold place (we are in Florida!) just for him. I showed him the blanket and he placed it next to him on his bed and when he woke up in the morning he was curled underneath the blanket. Now, he goes to sleep with it every night and our fear of the blanket transition is no more. It is officially his “Alaska” blanket and when his grandparents asked to see his Alaska blanket he took them to his bedroom for a closer look! When I returned home from the hospital, he went to his room and returned with his special blanket and laid it over my feet. It’s definitely part of the family now and I wanted to let you know that what seems a small thing often has a much bigger impact when it is sent out into the world. Thank you for everything! Sincerely,"
~Christy and Connor, FL
(Gramma's note: Connor has autism and his Mom was concerned about his transition to a larger blanket. This is why I love what I do!)
"Gayle - We just received the first shipment of (hooded) towels - They are beautiful! Thanks so much for doing these so quickly."
~Erin,
"Hi Gramma, The two I Spy Bags arrived here in Texas earlier this week. They're lovely! My nieces will love them. Thank you! My daughter loves playing with the I Spy Bag I purchased in November. Cheers!"
~Susan, TX
"Hello Gayle....I came in from working the evening shift....there was my beautiful purple blanket!!!! It is exactly what I had pictured in my mind.... I am
going to the baby shower this Sunday and will give out your website and tell the ladies there, that I think they would be most satisfied when dealing with you!!!!
Again...thank-you so much for this blanket, and I will be back in touch for the August baby's special present from grandma Sue!!!! Bye for now,"
~Sue, KY
"Meant to let you know sooner that I received the (hooded) towel on Thursday. Thank you, it is great. BRRRRR Avery says it is about zero in Delta Junction. Hope you are staying warm. Blessings,"
~Sally
"Christopher dropped his blankie in Kohls today and I couldn't find it anywhere!!! Can you send me another one!! Red fleece with red satin trim???
Thanks Gayle!!"
~Cari, IL
"I ordered two hooded towels for my grandchildren for Christmas. My daughter paid for them since I don't have pay pal. However, they are the greatest towels I have ever seen. The size is perfect not little like the ones you buy in the stores and so soft and plush. I was truly impressed. In fact the four year old called me to tell me he was sleeping with his. Thank you so much."
~Martha
"Three and a half years ago I was so pleased with the items that I ordered for the first grandson, so now I am excited that grandson number two has arrived and I can order MORE Gramma's Baby Stuff. Thanks,"
~Linda, AR
"Thanks so much for delivering the towels to Fairbanks, that was so nice of you. My daughter-in-law says the towels are great, big and plush. I'm so glad I found your website and it was a plus being able to discuss the details of my order (besides, I really enjoyed talking to you). I plan on ordering from you in the future for my other grandkids. Hopefully your orders are almost completed and you will be able to relax. Thanks again for all your help. Happy holidays,"
~Sara, UT
"Hi Gayle, I am so excited. The kid's towels just arrived and we love them (my husband and I.) Thank you so much. I can't wait for Christmas. May you and yours have a very Merry Christmas and blessed New Year. Thanks,"
~Sally, CA
"I just love your site. I was on the internet looking at baby stuff when I found your page. My daughter and I went page by page, and we had so much fun. She's having her 1st baby in March. (a boy) Thanks again, you have some great baby things."
~Nancy, CA
"I just wanted to follow up with you. The I spy bag arrived at my parents house in NJ in plenty of time for our trip back to Texas. Thank you so much for re-labeling the package. Our Lucy had a lot of fun playing with it on the plane ride yesterday. It occupied her for more than a few minutes! She’s only 18 months old now, but she likes when I manipulate the bag and we find the items together. As she grows older, she’ll be able to do it herself. Anyway, it is a lovely toy, and so well made! I love the embroidery. I think I’ll be ordering one for my niece in the spring. Thank you so much!"
~Susan, TX
"I received your package yesterday. Such quick shipping and everything is just perfect! My 7 year old daughter looked a little bit jealous of the frog (Hug-Um) & blankie I ordered for a shower gift for her soon-to-be-born baby cousin :)
I have bookmarked your website, and will be back for all my baby showers, and once the babies arrive, too!" Thanks again :)
~Jenne, IL
"I am glad I found this site. I love the I spy bag I ordered last August. And I especially love that it is made by you right here in the U.S. It is a quality item made with care...not mass produced. I will be buying from you again."
~Michelle, ID
"I just wanted you to know that I received Henry's burp cloth today in the mail! It's great--lovelier in person than online! As I mentioned before, I wanted a burp cloth to incorporate into a diaper cake for a shower that I am hosting this Saturday. I think the burp cloth is a perfect personal finishing touch!"

I'll be needing the better quality mittens such as the samples you've made and those on your website as Jacob gets older (probably every winter) and will definitely revisit your business. I'm very pleased with your level of service and impressed with your professionalism. Thank you so much for everything."

"Now we have a second batch of custom bibs from Gramma and they are wonderful. My special needs son drools alot and the bibs are so incredibly absorbent that we can go many hours without a change. This sure helps keep down on an exhausted Mom's laundry. Also they fit perfectly. The school is very happy with them since they used to go through three bibs in a 3 hour period. The colors were great for a 5 year-old boy's styling. Thanks so much Gayle for helping us in our plight.
By Email:
"All the other bibs arrived yesterday. They are just WONDERFUL !!!!! We couldn’t get over the thickness. I put one on Garrison and we didn’t have to change it for then entire day. Can you believe it. VERY absorbent. Thanks for all you did to make them the way we needed them. God bless you."

"I received the other stuff yesterday. Oh my gosh ......absolutely love it all! I had to show everyone I could! I have a feeling my family and friends down here in Ennis are going to become regulars on your website. We hope to find out if my daughter is having a girl or boy next week. As soon as I do I will definitely be back shopping! Thanks again Gayle!"

"Our lap pads arrived today and my daughter is thrilled with them. We were able to buy them in the stores here when her older children were born but now they seem to be unheard of. They are perfect for my new little grandson and so colorful. We were delighted to find your website and I have ordered more things already as we appreciate the quality of your work. By the way, I love Alaska!!! I have traveled there 5 times. The most recent was last summer with my older grandchildren. We went from Fairbanks to Barrow,and to Nome, Talkeetna and Anchorage. Two years ago I took some grandchildren and went to Denali, and south to Seward. I have traveled the lower 48 in all states but nothing compares to Alaska scenery!! I intend to come back many more times."

"The mittens I got as a Christmas gift from my mother are just PHENOMENAL! I cannot get over how warm and soft they are. I sent my poor Mom on a wild goose chase to find me some light blue mittens to match my winter parka as I have been looking for them for two years. I am one of those who really much prefers mittens, and while I could find gloves, the mittens I longed for remained elusive! I am impressed not only by the fact that she found mittens, but that the quality of the mittens is top notch. Thank you for making such a fantastic (and warm!) product! Enjoy the holiday, and best wishes for a prosperous New Year!"

"WOW, it's beautiful!!! (Phoenix patch) I'll be picking up my son in a while and I know he's going to love it. I just got a call that his jacket is done, so if we are happy with their work we will probably just have them stitch it on. You should be proud you did a fantastic job, the black background is perfect.
Thank you, thank you!!!"
"Me again, Raymond has just seen the Phoenix and loves it."
(Later) "You sound like a really sweet and conscientious person. Thank you
for all your support. We appreciate all your help in the search for a "Phoenix". You have made my son so happy. He's a very serious person and a deep thinker. This patch means so much to him, he feels that he's risen since the death of my sister and his grandfather, and the Phoenix patch is his way of showing it to everyone. He's such an old soul at 16. Thank you for making his wish come true. The 4 X 4 square in black is perfect. When I have more time I will get onto you site and do some shopping!!!!! Take care and have a WONDERFUL day!

"Gayle- the mittens arrived today. They are GREAT, and will be wonderful for Dad. They seem so nice and warm, which will be a help with his arthritis- plus they are very spacious and easy for him to get on and off. My husband "practiced" and thought they were great. Thank you SO MUCH for your fast service. I have your site bookmarked- and I will certainly recommend you to anyone who needs mittens like this.
Have a wonderful holiday season."

FROM GUESTBOOK:
"My 5-year-old son has cerebral palsy and drools quite a bit so I needed bibs that were larger-sized and more absorbent than typical baby bibs, but fashioned for a boy with boy colors. I had great difficulty finding bibs anywhere that would suit our situation. I bought bibs from one site that said they made bibs for special needs children and adults, but their small turned out to be huge reaching to my son's hips in length which to us made it so obvious and with no thoughts to his dignity. He couldn't even do therapy and classroom activities in those bibs they were so hindering. Then I saw Gramma's bibs on line while google searching and loved the heavy terry cloth bibs for babies so I sent Gayle an e-mail explaining our plight. She custom-made some test bibs and sent them to me free. I tweaked the size with her a bit and we talked about colors and trim. She then made new ones and put them on the website and I bought about 15 bibs so far and the colors go well with his clothes and the size makes them work, but not so OBVIOUS to the world that he is wearing a bib. I'm so grateful to Gayle for going to all the trouble to make the bibs work for us. I know there are tons of special needs families out there that would love these bibs. I will refer to anyone I know for sure."

"So far they (Binky Leashes) are working just great!!!! I love them. I like the fact that you offer a variety of them in all different colors. You can't find them anywhere else and they are at a great price. I will be ordering more in the near future. I hope you will be doing even more colors soon. I have a lot of friends that are pregnant or have small babies. I will be showing off the leashes and give your site out to all my friends."
Thanks,

"We just got the binky leash in the mail today. They seem like they are very well made and will hold up for a while. The problem that we have run into with other holders are that the clips are sometimes big and heavy (like Winnie the Pooh). They tend to not stay attached very well and are heavy on the clothing.
Your clips are nice and light and seem to attach well to my daughter's clothes. I would say that the length might be a little on the long side. Our daughter is not mobile yet (on her own), but when she is,the pacifier might drag on the ground (if attached). (Gramma's Note - The length was offered as long or short later.)
Thanks for making a product like this! They are hard to come by in stores. Good luck with your business! We will keep you in mind as our friends and family have new additions to their families."
~Kristy, MN

"I just wanted to send a quick note to say that I just received my first binky leashes designed by you and I think they are great! They are well made and of a strong, easy to clean material. I also particularly love the clip design because it is small and stays put without any sharp corners like the big brands make. The only thing I would change would be their length. They are a good 3-4 inches longer than the other brands I've tried. It was easy to fix by just tying a couple of knots in them. My 18 month old has a binky fetish and loves her new pretty clips!" (Gramma's Note: 2 lengths are available now)

I can’t wait to give them to my sister next month when her baby girl arrives. Our mother always made clothes and blankets and quilts for our babies. This will be the first arrival since she died of kidney cancer 4 years ago. I know that the blankets and cloths will be precious to her and to my new little niece. Thank you so much."

"I just wanted to write to let you know how much my daughter loves the large lap pads I got for her from you. She had the twins six weeks early and their digestive tracks are not quite mature so they spit up often. It was a pain to change the sheets each time. These pads are so absorbent (she said the spit just rolls off the other, hard, pads) and because they are bigger, they help with diaper leaks. Thanks again for a great product."

They were exactly what I wanted and you nailed it on the first try. The quality and craftsmanship are way beyond my expectations. They are not too tight or too loose, and I won’t need anything to keep them held up. Rest assured my hands and arms will stay warm this winter because of Gramma’s handiwork. Thanks again."

"Thank you SO MUCH. Your very adorable burp cloths arrived yesterday.
I am very pleased. Your fabrics are very sweet. Thank you, too, for
the little wash cloths you added to my package. That was very sweet
also. These burp cloths are gifts, but my daughter saw them last
night and wants some too. I would like to order more. Shall I do it
through the website, or direct through you? She particularly likes the
'retro' fabrics --the stork, etc. Sincerely,"

"Dear Gayle (Gramma) - I wanted to let you know that our baby girl arrived Monday night and your shipment arrived Tuesday. Thank you for sending it out so quickly. I wanted to let you know how much I love the receiving blankets and the special touch of your labels too. We got lots of compliments on them in the hospital. (I especially love the pink cow one!) What I love about them is the size. I've now had 2 babies, 8 lbs 5 oz and 8 lb 4 oz, so they don't fit in the average size blankets. No place in Austin carries the oversized thin, flannel blankets. Two years ago, when my son was born there was one store, but they no longer carry them. So thank you again for putting your sales online so people like me can access your special home made goodies. Funny that I had to go all the way to Alaska for what I needed. But that is the beauty of the internet! Best of luck for continued sales!"
