A BLAST FROM MY PAST!

When I was growing up, I always loved making rock candy with my mom! I have not done it many, many years, and I did not even realize how much I missed it. Laverne brought me this beautifully decorated jar filled with rock candy she made. Alas, the jar is empty; but you can't tell it from the picture! It was totally delishee oh sooooo.....

Thank you so much, Laverne! I loved it, and hips show it!

SANTA'S PANTS!

How adorable is this? Laura made Santa's Pants for me, AND she filled them with kisses too! I had to take a photo quickly, as the kisses did not last long, and they were just empty pants :o(

Thank you so much, Laura!

RUBBER ROOM TOWELS!

Here is another awesome gift I received for the holidays. They are great towels!

As the Rubber Room was being "created" the bathroom was the last thing to be made; and my customers surely appreciate not having to trek all the way upstairs to find one now. My dear friend and downline, Michelle, made me these wonderful towels that not only say "The Rubber Room", but the color of embroidery thread matches my paint perfectly. "The Rubber Room" is starting to get a little more class, and doesn't seem so much like a basement with the added amenities!

Thank you so much, Michelle, I love them!

HOLIDAY GIFT!

Christmas is literally hours away, and I thought it would be a good time to start sharing some of the awesome gifts I have received. I am lucky enough to have many talented and creative customers and friends, and over the next week or so I will share with you some of the truly inspired gifts I received during the holidays from them.

This is a toilet seat cover that was put over my toilet during my last hostess club of the year. Long after all my customers and friends had braved the snow for their drive home, I was cleaning up and getting ready for my next event (the next morning), when I walked into the bathroom and wondered "what the heck is that on my toilet??" I put the lid down and cracked up. The real laugh, however, began when I pushed the little button at the top and all the bulbs and snowflakes started to blink. Okay, you know how you feel when you get an email that makes you laugh out loud when you're sitting there all by yourself? Well, here I was, standing in the bathroom all alone and cracking up!!

Thank you so much, Mitzi; not only for thinking of me, but for putting a huge grin on my face.

WHERE IN THE HECK DID SHE GO??

As I am sure most of you have noticed, I have not been posting too often to my Blog lately. It has been a very crazy holiday season for me, and this simply has not been my priority. Although, I must admit that I have missed being creative and sharing it with all of you. I am going to be getting back on track very soon, so don't give up on me! I have lots of things to share, and you will be sad if you don't keep checking back to catch up.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I want to wish all you the happiest and healthiest of holidays. I hope you will be sharing some very special times with family and friends! Here in Michigan we will definitely be enjoying a very white and chili holiday :o)
