I hear Wedding Bells....

We just got the call last week that our Cousin is getting married! He proposed and she said yes. We are all so Happy and so Excited. Mackenzie came up and we told her "Tom is getting married." She got so happy and started clapping her hands and running around the house singing, "Tom, Tom, Tom." I don't even think she knows what getting married means but she acted like it, so funny.

I'm super excited bc I was asked to be the Matron Of Honor, Mackenzie was asked to be the Flower Girl and my Husband is going to be the Best Man. I was so flattered and Honored to be a part of this very special day and to have my daughter and Husband involved too......I just feel so lucky to know such wonderful people bc we all know how hard it is to find Honest and Real people.

So Cheers to Tom and Heather!

Chubby Baby Car Seat Cover GUEST GIVEAWAY!!!!

Remember when you got your first infant car seat? Perhaps it was at a baby shower? Or you went down to Babies'R'Us and purchased one with your husband. Remember how pretty and clean it looked when you first buckled it into your car?

If this was years ago I'm guessing it looks a lot like mine. Crumbs in the bucket of the seat. Chocolate milk stains on the arm rests.

Scams and Bullsheiting- Etsy

Have you ever lost your trust in everything because it seems like everyone's trying to scam you out of your hard earned money?

Or feel that people are trying to bullshit you?

The bullshitters seem to be very bad at it to, being that you can't shit a shitter.

You know?

The scammer(s) on Etsy are convoing sellers to ask for personal information to apparently pay for items by cheque or bank transfer BEFORE they have actually bought anything from the store. They are asking for Name, Address, phone number, email address and bank details! My advice is to stick to PayPal as your preferred method of payment (which is relatively safe) and if you receive a convo like this then reassert your payment policies and forward the convo to abuse@etsy.com

You should never take part in business transactions you don't feel comfortable with, nor reveal private information to those you don't trust.

Basically an "interested party" will contact you with an offer to buy one of your items. Their interest will often be vague. ( i.e "I am interested in purchasing your STERLING SILVER JEWELRY.") They will usually inquire about whether you will ship overseas and if you accept cashier's checks or money orders. Often they will offer to pay you much more than is necessary to ship express or as fast as possible. Many times they will have other weird requests and instructions like telling you that their money order will have an additional amount added on, and when you deposit it, to withdraw the difference to send back to them. If you get any type of offer like this, beware! These knuckleheads aren't interested in your sterling silver jewelry: just free merchandise and stolen money!

Correspondence like this is almost always a scam! They'll offer you more money to take you off guard and get the item out of your hands as fast as possible. Any money order or check you get from these goof-balls will be a fraud. It will go into your bank, but once it doesn't clear and the jig is up, your bank will hold YOU accountable and these jokers will be long gone.

If you get a message like this, report it to the authorities! (Or at least abuse@etsy.com.) Then we can give these clowns the boot and keep our virtual streets safe for us good, honest citizens!

This happened to me this week! They sent me a convo wanting to buy a Fancy and Fabulous Headboard, it's posted at $405. They just sent me a check for $3,000.00. I'm supposed to goto Western Union and send a cashiers check to a man in TX of the difference I owe them. I of course did not get the email till after the check arrived. Thank goodness I was smart enough to have them send the check to mail box ect. That is where the address looks like a real residence and not a PO Box, but it is a PO Box. Too bad a was dumb enough to fall for this and think this was real.

Photo Shoot

I took these photos just for fun bc i just love this silly little outfit and had to have some pics. My Chubby Baby was not that in to it, but I brought our dog, who she just loves to play with. Once those two were off running around in the back of our field, I started shooting up a storm with my camera. I think the photos turned out great.

Big Bear Holiday Boutique

This past weekend Paisley Boutique hosted a Holiday Boutique to kick off the Holiday shopping. She asked the local designers to come and set up to highlight their products and to help bring some new business to all. I love doing these boutique's because I get to meet some amazing, creative women who love to do what I do, we all usually hit it off right away. I do have to say it was very successful and I loved all the coffee and hot coco that the store owner had to offer, especially Mackenzie!

Thanks Tania!

A Little Mackenzie

Here is A Little Mackenzie on a Magical Road with a Little Mud! LOL, I could not resist . I had so much fun on this little photo shoot with my 2 1/2 year old, with a photographer local in Big bear, Fresh From God Photography.

My daughter did not have as much fun, as she was a little grumpy that day and was not giving any smiles unless I practically stood on my head, she was a little Rascal. I still love how the photos turned out and can't wait for the next shoot with Rebeca!
