BABIES 'N' BELLS, INC.

Babies 'N' Bells, Inc., formerly Creation Celebration, was founded in 1993 by Dara and Brian Craft. As a previous successful career woman in the marketing and advertising industry, Dara enjoyed a fast-paced and challenging lifestyle. In June 1993, Dara and Brian welcomed the birth of their first daughter, Madison, and it was at that point that Dara's priorities began to change. She sensed a strong desire to be there for life's most precious moments. As a result, Dara left her marketing and advertising career to become a full-time mother; however, she still felt the need for self-accomplishment and financial contribution to her family.

After investigating numerous home-based opportunities, Dara elected to choose one associated with parents and babies. It appeared to be the perfect match. With the excitement still looming over the birth of Madison, this opportunity allowed Dara to stay at home, financially contribute to the family, and fulfill her needs for self-accomplishment.

By using her marketing and advertising background Dara was able to quickly establish herself in the marketplace. So much that late nights and weekends were required just to keep up with the demand. It was also during this time that Dara and Brian welcomed the birth of their second daughter, Makenzie. The market share grew at a rapid pace and Babies 'N' Bells, Inc. flourished by offering a superior selection at a fair price. In fact, the selection grew to thousands of designs shipping internationally, and still, Dara would make house calls to bed-rest expectant mothers. Offering a superior selection at a fair price with personal service has been the standards by which Babies 'N' Bells, Inc. was founded.

Back in June of '96, Dara and Brian were contemplating hiring a staff of individuals to fill orders or utilize her three years' experience and market penetration to provide an opportunity for other women to fulfill their dream of staying home and yet contribute to the family financially. She began the process of putting all the pieces together to provide opportunities in an industry never before franchised in a home-based environment. After endless hours of establishing processes and procedures, finalizing legal aspects, and testing the concept through subcontractors, the franchise opportunity was completed and the foundation was laid.

Thus, Babies 'N' Bells, Inc. was founded in 1997 to provide all of your imprinting needs - showers, weddings, invitations, announcements, birthdays, and thank you cards for both children and adults alike. Another child, Morgan, was born in 1998 while Babies 'N' Bells was flourishing. Visit the Franchise Opportunities area to learn more about how to become a franchisee.
