LBD customs

[MapleMe]

So... I'm finally at the top of the customs list. I keep going back and forth with what I want to do with my customs, but I think I've decided to get customs done (as opposed to give them away). But since I'm squeamish about spending that much of diapers, I want customs that will be sellable when I'm done with them. So, what designs do y'all think that I should get? DH already got his Mario diaper from Sassycloth (OTW). I'm thinking about a Star Trek TNG one. Any other suggestions?

You could order a ladybug diaper and then sell it to me!!!!

First, I'm super jealous! Second... What about Strawberry Shortcake or Rainbow Brite? Are you looking for more "gender neutral" options? Fraggle Rock/The Muppets? Do you have a favorite book to read M? I am drawing a complete creative blank :/

[ellebeedub]

Fwiw, I do also love the idea of a ST:TNG one. Weren't you also planning on doing a constellation one?

[freezorburn]

Paddington.

Or the little red Trolley from Mr. Rogers.

[ellebeedub]

That reminds me! I think we would do a Little Red Riding Hood one because it's special to G2... That is unhelpful for you...

I've been following the LBD Facebook page for a few months and I'm still clueless as to how to get on the customs list. Also how much do they end up costing? I would love to get one somehow! I tried for the last DOTM but failed horribly from the times I saw for those who did score.

I was planning on the constellation, but I feel like that might be too "just for her." Even if I wasn't going to sell at any point, I would feel weird putting a diaper with M's constellation on kid #2. Unless it was a really cool image overall. Maybe I should check out some Greek mythology drawings. Also, what about a strawberry? I love diapers where the whole diaper is the design. So the top would be the green stem and the bottom would be red with seeds all over. The rise snaps could blend in with the seeds. Maybe?

I got on the custom list a year ago and was one of the last to get on. The spots of so insanely coveted, which is why I've contemplated gifting or selling them. I've gotten so many sales offers, but that's uber frowned upon (both me and the buyer would likely be banned). When I signed up customs were $30ish, but now they are $50ish (depending on design).

First of all, I'm super jealous.

It seems like anything that has to do with pop culture would be very re-sellable (i.e. books, tv, movies, music, cars, etc). I also see a lot of girly things with flowers, etc. that are pretty. If it was me, I'd go with something more gender neutral, at least for 1 of the choices.

You already got your bakery diaper, so is there something else that you really identify with or that is special to you? A favorite book?

I've having trouble picturing the strawberry but I'm sure Hope could come up with an awesome design for it. We got the best bottoms strawberry one and love it.

A constellation in general would be really cool. That's something unique and could be an awesome design.

If you can't decide, just give me the spots and I'll come up with something.

OH GOSH. Make them all TNG.

Aren't I helpful?

[ellebeedub]

Oh yeah, I can totally see not wanting to make it *M*'s diaper... The strawberry sounds adorable, though!

I LOVE the strawberry idea! And certainly could find someone to buy it later. (my bil & sil are strawberry farmers)

So, we figured it out! We're going to do a TNG, Asterix and Obelix (a french cartoon) and the last will be Calvin and Hobbs diaper! We still need to figure out the designs for each, but I'm excited!

I'm already jealous of the Calvin and Hobbs diaper.

DH thought of it on the way back from the concert that we went to tonight. I immediately got excited. I've never even heard of anyone else doing a Calvin and Hobbs diaper.

Link please?

She has at Etsy shop, but FB is the best place to find out about her diapers. It's Little Butt Diapers BST

[katydid2015]

From what I understand she has all but abandoned her etsy shop. So far my favorite one of hers I've seen is the Metallica one mainly because I know my husband would die if we had that diaper. I would love to have a Seahawks custom.

[MapleMe]

She briefly reactivated her etsy shop, but that's not the place to buy diapers

[llamalover]

I finally made it to the top of the list in November and had one done for my BFF and one for me, it's super specific and I'll never be able to sell it, but I absolutely adore it! I would save it in a fire.

DS wears his BB huckleberry cover to show his Seahawks love. Not the same as having something with a logo, but the colors are close enough.
