I just listed some really cute sarongs on my Treasures from Thailand page. Here are a few previews:

You can find many videos on Utube about different ways to tie sarongs.

Maddisin and Mason is hosting a 1000 fan giveaway on their facebook page… and Bentley Boutique is donating a Box of 4 16 oz Bentley Drinkware tumblers. You can choose from 19 colors. And shipping is free. So hurry on over there and enter the contest. Their are lots of other nice prizes too. Just go the the 1000 FAN CELEBRATION album and enter for the prizes you like. Good luck.

I finally made a facebook page for Bentley Boutique! You are hereby officially invited to become a fan.

Please “like” the page with your personal facebook page, so it will count. Did you know that “liking” a page doesn’t count if you do it through your business page? I only found this out recently, and it makes no sense to me. So I’ve been “liking” pages with both of my accounts. That way it will count, and then I “hide” the posts on my personal page, and read them on my Bentley Boutique page. Any comments on how others handle facebook?

That should really come in handy this summer when you tell your kids to pick one glass and stick with it:)

Can anyone relate to always losing their glasses? I am constantly looking for mine, which I need in order to read anything… which means I need them a million times a day. And I don’t like wearing them constantly because, quite frankly, I can see better without them (far away, that is, not up close). The joys of getting old!

Finally, I found the solution. An eyeglass holder necklace. These babies are hard to find in stores, but I found a  very talented work-at-home mom who made this gorgeous necklace for me. Her name is Stacie Zaragosa, and you can find her on the web at www.beadingbystacie.com, http://beadingbystacie.artfire.com, http://etsy.com/shop/beadingbystacie, and http://stores.ebay.com/beading-by-stacie. You can even follow her on twitter.

I love this necklace for several reasons. It’s gorgeous. It is simple and functional. It goes with everything. And I don’t lose my glasses anymore!

You don’t have to have eyeglasses to enjoy Stacie’s work. She offers a very wide assortment of jewelry, earrings, charms, fan pulls, kits, and other items as well. And she even includes a free gift with each order!! So check her out… you’ll be glad you did:)

It’s that time of year again…. Graduation! If you need a gift idea, check out Bentley Drinkware Collegiate Tumblers. They make great gifts and are fun for tailgate parties, dorm rooms, or dining.

Made from SAN plastic, they are durable enough for even a college student! They are even dishwasher safe.

And some schools are even on sale, so check them out. 53 schools are available so far, with more to come. 

We spent spring break in Belize. I had to take these pictures of the entrance and exit signs at a local gas station.

For all of you moms with sports-minded kids, here’s a way to make their reading
more enjoyable… well, we can hope.

Right click and save to your computer. Personalize if you wish, using any print program. Print on adhesive-backed paper or 2×4? labels. Peel and stick to the inside cover of your favorite books. You can also print on plain paper, cut out, and glue to the inside of book.

Ballerinas can find bookplates here Free Printable Ballerina Bookmarks and Bookplates. And even more bookplates are here.

A bit about myself… I’m a former social worker.. turned drug rep.. turned mom of 14 year old twin boys. I also have an online store, Bentley Boutique. And I try to squeeze in crafting as often as possible, which is why I created my blog. If you are into digital scrapbooking, I’ve been posting a lot of templates lately.

Now I’m supposed to list my 3 favorite posts … hmmm, that’s hard, but here goes. Funny, with all my crafting posts, my favorite ones have to do with my kids and the dog!

1. Become Superman in 5 Easy Steps!
2. 5 Creative Things Your Kids Can Do with Your Hair Rollers
3. Time for Tidbit’s Bath

Thank you to all who stop by today! I’m looking forward to checking out all your blogs as well:)
