Sorry for being MIA

Ladies I'm so sorry I haven't posted anything in a long time.  I've been so busy working on accessories for up coming shows & just recently started making flip flops which takes me longer since I never did them before.  Also my nephew has taken up allot of my down time because he has been sick on & off with a nasty cold.  Today he was literally climbing on me & either wining/crying, I knew there was something wrong but didn't know that he was in extreme pain from double ear infections.  Poor little guy can't catch a break.  
DivaLICIOUS has been hogging my down time as well with a project she's been working on for 6 weeks now.  So happy that she did outstanding & it's OVER.  
Baby Boy has spring break this week so he's been home everyday.  This might sound not nice but I so miss MY time.  Hopefully next week I can have at least one day that all I want really ONE day!!!   If you prefer to send me an email please feel free it's minidivacreations@gmail.com


I've been wondering how to get involved in blog surveys & giveaways.  If this is something you are currently doing & would like to share information with me I would appreciate it.  Once I get all information & understanding I can sit down & way my options.


Gonna get some shut eye.

New Accessories

Little Amazing Fighter

 Ty Louis Campbell  was diagnosed on August 11, 2010 with a rare cancer called Chordoma which caused a tumor at the base of his skull.  Since then, he has spent countless hours in and out of hospitals, and his family has established a trust to help pay for medical expenses. Please visit Ty Louis Cambell's blog.

Groupon

sign up @ Groupon then Check your email, Facebook or Twitter feeds for daily deals on cool local businesses. Print the voucher or bring it up on your mobile device, then present it at the business to get your deal.
I have purchased several groupons for spas, restaurants & can tell you it's worth getting this voucher, example: you pay $50 & get services that cost $100 or more.  

Weekly Wardrobe

I vaguely remember those days  I would wake up at 6:30 am and put on my pretty face and my nicely pressed outfit.  Today I roll out of bed at 7:45 am only on Tuesday's & Thursday's take a quick cat bath, brush my teeth throw on my sweats & out the door by five of 8.  Yes I do all that in ten minutes top!
It's been a year of sweats and lets not forget the pj's all day when I'm home, so I feel pretty when I throw on a pair of jeans.  Does your (SAHM & WAHM) wardrobe consist of the same?  Has anyone decided to get dressed when your just gonna stay in the house?  Should we change up our appearance even though we're not gonna step outside?

Great Customer Service

For the first time in a very long time I can honestly say I had the best customer service experience with Beau-Coup while purchasing favors for a birthday party, Christening & baby shower. I had so many questions about each product and was relieved that I was able to get assistance from a representative on chat, she knew everything there was to know about all the products they sell.  This company is one I will recommend to anyone looking to purchase invitations for all occasions & favors.  With these amazing items your event will be one everyone will be raving about.

Small Business Advertising

I have been customizing in hair accessories for the past 4-5 months and it seems like I had a rush of orders around the Holiday's but has slowed down drastically. In the process of adding other items ex. paci holders, bow holders, flip flops & possibly Tutu's.  Are there any certain type of business I should promote & ask if I could display my items?  A very good friend of mine is opening her hair salon in the next couple of weeks, she offered to carry them. 

Would appreciate any suggestion on other places & advise on how should I go about it. 

Sizzix Big Shot

Just ordered the Sizzix Big Shot & can't wait to start new projects.  Now I need advise on die shapes (flowers, hearts, insects) that i should buy to make hair accessories out of felt/fabric?  Any other advise or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

He Spoiled me!!

Saturday was the perfect day for my hubby to suggest we get out of the house & hit the mall.  First I thought he was sick or wanted something ;) he is not a fan of shopping.  Every store we entered had additional 40-70%, woohoo it felt like Christmas time.  I would show him something I liked & his first question was how much?  would give him price & he would give me that are you serious look because prices were as low as $2.00 after the discount. To close out the day he took us to dinner since we didn't spend as much as he thought.  It was a Great weekend!!!

Wow 3 hour nap!!

I was so surprised that lil man took a three hour nap today, YES!!!  Little to my surprise that three hour nap turned into an afternoon full of tantrums, crankiness, not listening & non stop whining.  All my memories of my kids toddler years are coming back but lil man takes the cake by far he is three put in one.  Tonight I'm going to hop around and see if there are any mom bloggers with advise on handling these situations. Open to any of your suggestions, my kids are 10 & 21.

Urban Decay Naked Pallet Giveaway @ http://curvesahead14.blogspot.com/2011/01/urban-decay-naked-pallet-giveaway.html

Monday's to do list

On Friday I listed all the things that needed to be done on Monday since it's usually a quiet day at home with no disturbances.  Well I completely forgot that today was a holiday and that quiet house turned into everyone being home & that Monday to do list didn't get touched.  I'm not sure about your house but when I'm on the phone scheduling appointments or just gossiping that's when EVERYONE needs something or needs a question answered, yeah @ that very moment.  Needless to say that to do list will be divided into the next four days when I can get some quiet time in.

Blog Hopping

I took some time out tonight to blog hop around.  Wow so many interesting topics, advice and a day in moms shoes post.  I have always wanted to improve in my writing skills & now is the perfect time.  Looking forward to learning the ropes on being a more creative blogger.  Feels as if I was locked up away for years until I stopped working almost a year ago. For over 14 years my life was a rush, didn't get the chance to take it all in.  My goal this year is to take the time & embrace every aspect of being a stay @ home mom, wife & caregiver to my lil adorable nephew.  Let's see what 2011 has in-stored for me!!

Hormone Growth

My daughter i being seen by an endocrinologist because her physician was a little concerned about her growth.  Last year she had bone age x-ray to determine what age it showed her to be, that x-ray showed that she was two years behind her actual age.  My husband & I were both somewhat relieved because that meant that she would not hit puberty until later in her teens, which does not follow me (I was so happy that we had a couple more year of her being a little girl).
Well this past November we went back for her yearly exam & it seemed like she was not following what they had thought.  Basically she is already starting to develop which means that she will be smaller then 5 feet.  My mom, sisters & I are all between 5'1 & 5'3.  We were given the option of starting hormone growth treatment (health insurance must approve) which will add another inch to inch & a half.  This is an injection that we will have to give her daily.
We are still waiting to hear back from the health insurance but was wondering if any of you moms out there have children that have gone through this.  If yes, I would love to know if your child had a good outcome with it.
