I have to make Baby Shower Favors

Is it worth my while to buy them only 4 days out from the baby shower? Or make them? Argghhhh - to make cheesy favors or to buy really expensive ones that are also cheesy, that is the question. I am just not that great or creative, I mean I am but not when I'm in a jam. Anybody have any suggestions?

I like the lipgloss and thought "I could buy generic ones and make these." But, where do I buy them? It would probably cost me more to make them and then, I'd wrack my brain for figuring out printing the circles. I also like the tins to put candy in but again, I could probably do that and AGAIN, it probably will cost more and more time.

Ay Bendito! So, check this out....

I'm starting up again

I'm developing the concept of the Circle of Friends Network where I promote my contacts, friends, family and they do the same. You subscribe to my blog and can submit information relevant to you, your friends and family (who in turn can also subscribe and submit information). Where is this headed? Quite frankly, I like it when I can catch up with everyone in one place. If you want to advertise here, I'll put a small ad and referral for you as well for a small fee! Support me because I have family, need additional revenue and this actually might be fun.


Now, to start out with, please subscribe to me and refer out to your friends. What can you send me in terms of content?

You may submit relevant topics of the day, photos of the day, holiday, birthday greetings, notices, event news, school news, kid news, new recipes, etc. Any thing that is work related, advertising, contact me directly and I will let you know what I'll do for you.

Easter Friday, Eve of my Father's Death and Start of a Court Battle

I'm concerned. Dad didn't leave a will. Not surprising. Now, 37 yrs afterward a "brother" who didn't care a lick about him shows up wanting the house that belonged more so to my mother. My mother scrimped and saved as a babysitter just to buy that house. All I can do is is to summon all the little strength and the little faith I hold and ask God to please please carry me through. You just don't know how I'm praying because I'm scared not to lose the money or the house but the principle of the matter. It's so tangled and so unfair to my mother. I lost Papi last yr and now I may lose my mom and I can't breathe. I can't think straight. I'm so worried. I wish I could run but then, I think my battles are so much smaller than everyone elses. I think, thankfulness. Oh such little faith. Thank you Lord, that I'm back in your arms embracing you and asking you earnestly to get me through this because I don't know how much I can take. All I know is that I have to face this with strength, dignity and calmness. All I want to do is concentrate on my family but this keeps coming back to haunt me. I'm thankful I came "back" but I have a lot of work to do to keep me strong and believing.

BLOW OFF STEAM

I'm a little concerned since I can't voice my opinion on someone since it can jeopardize my career but I've just about had it. I don't know how much longer I can stand it. I really need to forward on my projects and pray for strength to get past this stage.

Attending Harlem In Paris

So, I'm attending this super cool event that my friend Kat is putting on but I have nothing to wear. Where do I find a size 16/18 vintage dress that doesn't make me look like a whale and I can still look good? I need a 1930's style dress! Fashion squad, pls!

I'm a creative Sponsorship Consultant

Tell me what your event, service or whatever is about and if I get excited about it, I sell it. I look up anything related or unrelated that would be a great match for the product. I'm saying this just because I'm rather crazy and this seems to be one of the things I'm actually good in...

Here are my upcoming sponsorships to work on...
Harlem in Paris for the Fall - I got onboard late for this so hope to help for a Chicago premiere in the fall.

I had a couple of things to write about today but

of course I forgot what they were....

Hmmmest, my son has posted his second posting so we're one for one. Oh now I know, my best friend of 15 years calls me and leaves me a message saying that she is having special testing for breast cancer. Red flag, red flag. I thought I can't lose her either. She's only being tested. I'm determined to be supportive just in case and most probably, it's probably nothing. I'm concerned. I haven't had to deal with a close friend with cancer. I think I'm nearing an age that our health is critical.

Starting This

Hi there, this is the start yet of another writing project not sure where it will lead but doing this as a support mechanism for my 10 year old son, Adam. Adam, this is for you, son. My son has started writing a blog for his class. Adam is a great boy and wants to excel in reading and writing and as such, I think I will write as well and show him a passion for writing can lead to great things. Such as? My writing or past writing experiences come from hours and hours of enjoyment of reading.
