Birthday Card


Wednesday!

Super great morning! I slept in!! But then I was awakened by 2 hissy kitties a couple of times, soooo....it did feel good.

Walked out to a sparkling kitchen, fresh brewed coffee, and started some bacon in the oven for my son and I. Got dressed from hair to shoes *per Fly Lady* and swished n swiped the bath while I was in there..tada..bed is made, bathroom cleaned, breakfast going, caffine in the veins all is good. Made a BIG breakfast, we ate, cleaned up, and now I'm down in my den chatting with my girlie friend.

I have a few things I have to move around in my craft area, Passion is all set up so that side is perfect. THEN I am doing more submissions for the Starter Kit Contest. Can't wait to post the outcome! I have a few more ideas for the contest.

I do have some Passion Parties to set up *WAAHOOO* And I have 2 Stamping workshops to set up! Unreal! I love being busy with helping women!! In many and ANY aspects of their lives.

Off I go to play!!!!

The Fly Lady

Well who doesn't need a lil more organization, cleanliness, and less CHAOS in their lives?

I found this site quite a few years ago, and recently went back to it, with the chaos in my life. As I sit here tonight I have::
     Coffee ready for morning
     Clothes laid out for tomorrow
     Kitchen cleaned, sink shiney
     Night meal prepped
    An EMPTY LAUNDRY BASKET
     A list full of scratched off items!

I will do my PM routine shortly in order to be sitting and relaxing for the Vikings Game! YES Tuesday night football *as I roll my eyes*

I'm so proud of all my progress with the Fly Lady. Her system works, and I plan to continue to live in JOY not CHAOS!!!

*SKOL VIKINGS*

www.flylady.net  really, it rocks. I have a separate Face Book name for this, so if you join let me know! I'd love to have buddies to talk about this with!


XOXOXOXO

ok just stuff

Nothing exciting here. Only posting about my day. Reason being....I am in a six week success course via Passion Parties...and one of my goals is to journal each day! Really need to do this...been through a really rough few months, and need to keep my head straight.

DNA Diamonds. I was going to have a diamond made from my mother's ashes.My cousins daughter posted this link on facebook, and I looked into it.
I emailed the show on Channel 5 that aired the story of this great business. I then got a call from a reporter that wanted to do a story on MY story and coincide it with the anniversary of DNA Diamonds. I thought I could do it, but for some reason, it seriously didn't feel good. HOWEVER! I did talk to lots of my family over Christmas and decided it WILL be something I do, when I can raise $2,000 to do it. I would prefer a 1/2 carot, but if a 1/4 is $2,000, I certainly am not able to do more then that. YET!

Anyway, my journey will get there. I'd love to have a green diamond in honor of her favorite color, and her birthday which is April 22, Earth Day.

So there we have it. Want quite a bit, but it will happen if it's meant to be. I'd love to put that green diamond into her Mother's Ring, and make it a family ring, to be passed on and on and on.

Passion Parties

Ya ever feel like sometimes there really should be more to being a woman then what you've got? I have often thought that as well. 
With Passion Parties I've learned that the female body...is amazing *we knew that already didn't we* when we nurture it correctly. I've been given so many tools to share with other women, from fragrance to fringe, it all makes up WHAT we are! 

Simply Sensual, will definitely help your mind relax and enjoy each sensation coming your way. Pomegranate Ginger is the scent...it is AMAZING! We have a full line, body wash, oil, radiant lotion, shave cream, sugar scrub, and toning body butter...and don't forget the soy massage candle! It is ALL AMAZING! I have been addicted since I got it lol.
We do offer a full line of novelties as well, and much to many to list on here. I will share with you, just message me! 


Stampin' UP! Starter Kit Cards





These are all cards I made with ONLY My Stampin' UP! Starter Kit! There was a bunch in there but really only a few stamps! So the Challenge was GREAT! I hope to win, and I actually have more ideas in the works. I plan to post lots more after next weekend of my Stamping/Scrapping goodies! 
Thanks for viewing!!! 

Roseville Bare Minerals Boutique

Yeah, it's pretty much the most girliest thing about me...Bare Minerals...love how they make me feel!
I have to tell you the MOST AMAZING Shopping experience I had on Christmas Eve, 2010!

Our plan is to hit Rosedale Mall each Christmas Eve, before we go to my dad's home and after we check into our hotel a few blocks away. 
My boyz wanted to go elsewhere but I was stuck on going where I needed to go, so I had them drop me off and do their thing while I did mine. We were to meet at a certain place at 2:15, plenty of time to hang before heading to my dad's!
I brought my special reusable bag from this store, and I brought all of my 'stock' with me. It's like the equivalent of a youngster going to the American Girl Store at the MOA!!!!! I was so excited and had my list all ready a week ahead of time! I know exactly where to go, and I carry my lil bag, and walk with a smile through the mall, knowing I get to touch each thing I want to see, and feel all of it on my skin. It makes me feel special, and what I'm putting on my face is special, and that is one indulgence I allow. 
So as I walk in, I stand there with my coat in one arm and my bag on the other.  I sigh and smile. One of the employees comes to greet me, and after about 30 seconds...she says...I KNOW YOU! I'm like ummm well I've been here ONCE before. She remembered me and remembered that I was there when my family was going to the fair! She wasn't near a computer, she had no other way to identify me but my face. Now talk about customer service! I had been there ONCE before! 
We proceeded to spend my entire hour and 15 minutes browsing the store, picking fun colors, learning how to use some things I already had, and glamming up a bit for Christmas Eve. 
I do now know their names, but there were three ladies on duty, and all three of them made me feel important, special, and appreciated. I am very impressed and I will continue to sing their praise. They are ALL Beautiful!
I will see you in August ladies! 









Quite Girly Of Me

I have to share a few things about Bare Minerals.
Since 2002 I have used this makeup on then off, and now way back on. You can sign up to get shipments monthly, each two months, or each three months, and I bet if you need less then that, I am sure you can call them to make these changes. 
Anyway, they will send you the foundation you choose, plus 2 other choices! Of course you pay for this, but it's set up automatically and it's so easy and you never run out of your Essensuals. 
I am addicted! Their website www.bareminerals.com is so fun to shop on! I also have them on Facebook, as well as the CEO Leslie Blodgette! She is amazing, and really does reply to anything posted on her page. She is beautiful, has a beautiful product and I love her life ethics. 
I love the way it feels to swirl, tap and buff my way beautiful. It may not always look like it, but I do ALWAYS have at least a 5 minute face on. Even if I do not plan to leave the house! It seriously feels that good!
There are so many amazing products I cannot begin to tell you all that I have. I do know the brighter eye colors work well with my face/skin tone. I did find some really FUN ones at my last trip to the Boutique in Rosedale...this trip deserves it's OWN blog so I will do it justice there. It's such an amazing experience to go there! I just love it!

At any rate, Bare Minerals...such a wonderful indulgence, and so worth the feeling of loveliness you get each time you swirl tap and buff!
