I imagine you've heard of Pampering Beki?



If not. You are missing out! She is Hilarious!!! Especially cracked up at this post.

She takes cute pictures, and makes some fabulous jewelry!! She makes stamped jewelry, pendant necklaces, brooches, etc. etc. etc. Talented lady!!

My creation

You could spend hours in her shop, and want 1 or 2 of everything. I swear! Do you have a golfer in your life? She even makes golf ball markers... and these markers cracked me up, because I thought of one of my favorite movies of all time... Happy Gilmore. HA! Love that movie. Not sure if that's where it came from, but I know that's where I heard it! :)

My creation

And since PamperingBeki ROCKS, she is giving you all a chance to win something... want to know what it is? I know you do. You don't have to tell me these things. I just know. ;)

You get a custom made necklace JUST FOR YOU!! Fabulous! She says any words. I might say any words that aren't as long as supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Just sayin'. Doubtful that could fit on one, two or three of those silver discs. ;) OK, I am getting to the point. Sorry. I am easily sidetracked.

Random Bits

I haven't done an Etsy Finds post lately. Here are some very lovely things I have found on Etsy in the past couple of months. As I usually say... if I had endless money I would buy 1 of each of these items... maybe 2. :)

I have been thinking about Halloween lately. I am wondering what the girls are going to want to be this year. This might be my last year to pick out Zoe's costume... I might take advantage of that. I would love to find her a really cute Owl costume. She Loves owls! But I have yet to find a cute one, and I am not up to making a costume.

Angelina will likely be something like Hannah Montana or something with a long flowing dress... maybe a fairy. I am unsure. She is pretty easy, though. I am sure she already knows. We haven't discussed this - yet. :)

Do you know what your kids are going to be for Halloween yet? Do you celebrate Halloween? My husband LOVES Halloween... I am hoping that we have a little party this year. That would be fun! We live in a new neighborhood, so it will be fun to see all the kids coming for candy and see what the different costumes are. That's my favorite part... other than getting my own kids dressed up and watching them have a blast.

Regarding the book club. Note that we will be reading only ONE book per month. I have gotten emails stating that keeping up with my reading is impossible. LOL! Don't worry!! It's only one book a month, not 10! :) So, join in!
Let me put it this way. If we are reading a 500 page book over a 30 day period, you would only have to read 17 pages a day to finish the book in time. And I have been compiling a list of books we will read... most are less than 500 pages.

Also. I will announce the following month's book 1 week before the new month. Maybe sooner depending if there will be a HarperTeen giveaway or not. Not all of the books are HarperTeen. But you will be given enough advance notice to go to the Bookstore and get your book.

If you have any questions, please email me: shealynn at gmail.com
If you'd like to sign up, please email me as well! We would love for you to join! Remember to grab the book club button [on my right side bar], and copy and paste it on your blog! It would be great to get a bunch of people to join. So far we have about 10 people. Fantastic! Thanks to all of you for the emails letting me know you want to join! More info coming!

Have a fabulous day!!

News!!

I have so very fun and excited news to share with all of you today! And now all of your thoughts default to "she's pregnant"! No. I assure you I am not. LOL! ;)

But, all of you teen fiction lovers out there... listen up! I have been approved to review EARLY RELEASE books for HarperTeen!! :) This is super exciting for me! I will be getting books before they're release dates so I can review them for all of you!


What else does this mean? How about some BOOK GIVEAWAYS?! :) Yes, that's right!


So, this leads me to my next subject. I want to start a book club! Want to join in? I will feature 1 book a month. (I will also be asking for your opinions on what to feature as well, so let me know if you have any must reads for us to put in the club) Once you have read the book, email me your opinions about the book, and I will compile the opinions of you along with mine in 1 post. Then comments will be left open for anything else you want to say. How does this sound? I hope it sounds like fun!

Grab the button to join in!



Email me : shealynn AT gmail.com if you have questions and/or if you want to join! Book club starts October 1st!

Cupi Doll

Here are the rest of the pictures of Baby Ben! He definitely does resemble a Cupi Doll! He is absolutely adorable!! His mom and dad make 'em cute, don't they? :) By the way, Ben isn't my child. Some of you thought that. He is my daughter's teacher's son... she is also a friend of mine.
