JustJen customizes T-shirts, to rhinestone transfers with your blog logo

Creating custom shirts at JustJen is quick and easy. Shop for bride shirts, big sister T-shirts, cheerleading T-shirts, birthday T-shirts, or create your own custom designs.

I created a shirt for my granddaughter in a couple of minutes.

First, I decided to make her a Royal Princess customized t-shirt with Swarovski crystals, imported from Austria. I decided on a short-sleeved version so I can give it to her for her birthday which is in May.

Then, I picked her size and the color pink, because she's all girl. I picked the Fuchsia rhinestones so they will stand out.

For the letters I picked, nuptial. I wanted them to be fancy, but not too fancy for a toddler.

Dorel Asia recalls cribs; Poses strangulation and suffocation hazards

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, and Dorel Asia SRL, of Barbados, is recalling, to replace, drop side and non-drop side cribs that pose suffocation and strangulation hazards to infants and toddlers. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs until replacement kits are obtained and installed.

Name of Product: Dorel Asia cribs

Units: About 635,000

Distributor: Dorel Asia SRL, of Barbados

Hazard: The drop side hardware can fail causing the drop side to detach from the crib. When the drop side detaches it creates a space in which an infant or toddler can become entrapped and suffocate or strangle. They can pose a serious hazard when a slat is damaged which can occur while the crib is in use, in storage, being put together, taken apart or reassembled, or during shipping and handling.

Reports: CPSC and Dorel Asia SRL received a report of the death of 6-month old child who became entrapped and strangled in a crib after the drop side hardware broke. The crib continued to be used after the parents tried to repair the drop side themselves. CPSC and Dorel Asia received reports of 31 drop side incidents. In six of those incidents, children were entrapped between the drop side and crib mattress. Three children suffered from bruises as a result of the entrapment. In addition, CPSC and Dorel Asia received reports of 36 incidents of slat breakage, including seven reports of bruises and scratches to children and two reports of entrapment with no injury.

Description: The following Dorel Asia cribs are involved in the recall:

Sold at: K-Mart, Sears and Walmart stores nationwide from January 2005 through December 2009 for between $120 and $700.

Manufactured in: China and Vietnam

Remedy: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs, find an alternative safe sleeping environment for your child, and contact Dorel Asia to receive a free replacement kit. Consumers should order the free replacement kit to prevent child entrapment in these cribs. The repair kits will be provided to owners within the next several weeks.

Consumer Contact: Call Dorel Asia toll-free at (866) 762-2304 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the firm’s Web site.

Important Message from CPSC: CPSC reminds parents not to use any crib with missing, broken, or loose parts. Make sure to tighten hardware from time to time to keep the crib sturdy. When using a drop-side crib, parents should check to make sure the drop side or any other moving part operates smoothly. Always check all sides and corners of the crib for disengagement. Disengagements can create a gap and entrap a child. In addition, do not try to repair any side of the crib, especially with duct tape, wire or rope.

Hallmark launches Webcam greetings with interactive 3D animation

Hallmark Cards, Inc., uses reality technology to bring its new cards to life on the computer screen.

The recipient of the card can visit Hallmark and follow the directions to view a 3D animated feature by holding the card up to the web camera. The technology breathes digital life into the card. The animation tracks the movement of the card, so no matter which way the card is moved, the animation will rotate in full 3D.

In many cards, various scenes appear as the card is turned at various angles in front of the webcam for a range of experiences.

The enhancements in webcam greetings are unique to the greeting card industry.

Ten cards currently are available for Valentine’s Day and, as the year progresses, Hallmark will roll out additional greetings.

Most webcam greetings retail for $2.99. Some greetings include a sound clip that plays when the recipient opens the card. The clip is audible without going online. These cards retail for $5.99.

All webcam greetings are available wherever Hallmark cards are sold.

For more about the webcam greetings visit Hallmark.
