Charley, my pup.

Monday, March 29, 2010

It's been awhile..... I have lots of pics to publish for Minky Bebe and will get to that soon.
But first.....
My pupples of 5 years is LOST. He has been gone since March 19th.
I have put pictures, flyers and contacted everyone and place that I could think of and still nothing.

Please, pray that he comes back home.

If you have any information, please
contact me via email.

I miss him so much!
He is the one on the left.

MammaBia!: Seemed fitting.

MammaBia! blog post: (unrelated to Minky Bebe/night off ;) )


Reid is sound asleep, I thought I would blog therapeutically(sp?) and just breathe. Lots on my mind.
So, I like quotes. Some are intriguing, confusing, bold and get me asking myself questions. I have always liked "be good or be good at it," an oldie but goodie. I like to think that the one I found tonight seemed fitting for the last couple of months that I have had. Certain people, situations and etc... have made me think and while I haven't ever said this to them or whatnot, I certainly thought it. But I think that the last part spoke to me the loudest- I think that at 26 despite my physique, lol I am strong enough to love love love myself 100%m good AND bad and I think that may bother those that are insecure. But I am me, like it.... no Love it or get over it. lol
Just thought I would share with you all.


“There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout:

This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me... or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be and don't try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision.


When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good and bad - you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you.”

Goodnight.

Just wanted to share this blog with everyone and anyone looking for a makeup artist for weddings, photos or just to learn new, fun makeup tips. My best friend (&matron of honor) is pretty talented when it comes to makeup, she has gone to esthetician school, but has pretty much had an eye for beauty as long as I remember. She is a great, beautiful person and will definitely make you feel and look so glamorous.
Take a look at her link for more information and check out her online portfolio.

Minky Bebe has it's FIRST customer!

Wednesday, March 10, 2010

So, "Minky Bebe," has it's FIRST official customer!
Going to research the "perfect" fabric to make her little boy's Minky Bebe Nap Mat, so he can have the coolest nap mat in preschool.
FYI: The pictures below are of our "first" test run nap map. It has been redesigned to fit the "luxurious" :) needs for your toddler and convenience of -one-handed folding, for the "Mom on the go!"


Minky Bebe nap mats are customizable and can be made to fit your frugalista budget. Minky fabric is used on all of the mats, but due to price of the fabric, the more we use, the cost does vary.


Personalization is available for a tad extra as well.
Please Note: Because this is a handmade product (and we want to get it perfect) it may take awhile for the finished product, but we will approx. of how long.


THANKS to all of you for visiting the blog!
Have a blessed evening.

"Sew Much Fun!"

Tuesday, March 9, 2010

Had an afternoon off and instead of getting together wedding stuff (oops.) my mom and I had a great idea.
After searching long and hard for Reid's nap mat for Day School in the Fall, me being the picky one, couldnt find the "perfect" one for my baby. -Longest Run-on sentence ever! LOL

So, we did what any other Mom would do..... Do it myself. Giggle.
And it was fun. I bought this fabric for a "test run," to see how it would go.
I shouldve taken pictures of us actually getting the process together cause we had a hilarious time. And I was proud to say I sewed!!! and my lovely mother assisted.
Foldable On the Go.
Minky Dot Fabric.
We use Minky Dot on all our Nap Mats.
To minimize cost and ease on your pocket book, designs can be made to fit.
MORE pictures to come of various colors and fabrics. But if you have an idea, we can create it, for less!

There simply are not enough hours in the day for all the things that I need to do. LOL
I've got all sorts of ideas running through my head, business ideas and what not.
My new venture, I am going to work out of my home, sewing and blog-shopping.
Stay tuned.....

As for my home life.... dishes are piled up and my fiance is buggin me at this moment, like he is in my face being obnox. LOL
So this weekend was amazing. The weather was about high 60s and the sun was out. So, we went to Corpus Christi. What?! Yea, and I hate that town, lol, but we took monster to the Zoo. "Monster," aka The Reidster, also know as Reid is fixing to be TWO years old in May. Time flies. He had a blast there and at the lil' playground. Which reminds me, I need to fix my backyard and get his playground up and running.
Like I said, not enough hours.

So, in summary- amazing weekend. So much so that we talked about moving there! What. Lol.
Anyhow, stay tuned for Mamma's lil' shoppe online. All my creative ideas will be put to work this year, dadgummit.
Til' tomorrow.

Here is monster, not scared at all. Typical boy.
Mamma & Reid.
Reid & Rob- being goofy on the Coast.
