Vintage Suitcase Ideas.


 I love seeing vintage suitcases used as decor.  There are so many ways to use them!  Funky Junk is having a link party with vintage suitcase ideas.  Whether you have some to use or not, you've got to check out the vintage suitcase eye candy!   Make sure you scroll to the bottom of the link party to see all the ideas!


Thick Molding For A Less Expensive Price


Crown molding looks beautiful and adds major class and elegance to any room.   The problem is that it's expensive!!!!   The Yellow Cape Cod show you how to get the gorgeous crown molding look for a smaller price.  I love molding tricks and this is definitely one to pay attention to!

Ruffled Bed Skirt


This bed skirts looks so fancy and expensive.  Burlap and Blue makes it look so simple to create!   And it won't cost you hundreds of dollars!   The texture of it is beautiful!



Hanging Twine Balls


There's something cool about these twine balls that hang from the the ceiling - especially when the light is shining on them.  You could also put these on a table or in a dish with some other decor balls. Wouldn't they look great as decor for a party or in a corner of room?   Musings of a Glamourpuss has the easy directions for how she made these.

Thankful Tree/Wall


With the month of November here and the theme of the month being "Thanksgiving" or "Giving Thanks,"  I always think it is a great idea to do a wall of Thanks or a tree or something to remind our family how blessed we are and to help our kids feel gratitude.   Bargain Bound is making a Thankful Tree with her family.

Chevron Wheat Frame

Leave it to Nike at Choose To Thrive to come up with this idea for a Thanksgiving chevron frame made from....wheat!  How cool is that?   So creative and looks amazing.   Makes me wonder about what else I could do with wheat!

Hat and Kids' Sweater from an Adult Sweater




I love me some good upcycled projects and I definitely believe this qualifies as such.  Me Sew Crazy took an adult sweater and created an adorable hat and sweater for her new son!   So cute. 

 

She also provides you with the pattern to make baby baseball caps.  These ones were made from onesies.   Totally fun!   Check out the baseball cap tutorial.   I'm going to watching this blogger.   Me Sew Crazy has lots of amazing ideas and probably some tricks up her sleeve!

DIY Chicken Coop


The rage these days is to have your own chickens as pets!   Let them lay you some eggs instead of buying them at the store.   There are a couple people in my extended family and some neighbors that have chickens.  The REAL Housewives of Riverton show you how they made the cutest little chicken coop I have ever seen!  I want a little coop like that at my house.

Toilet Paper Pumpkins


Now that Halloween is over, many people stop making pumpkin decor, but I leave my pumpkins up through Thanksgiving.   These toilet paper pumpkin at Phaedra's Adventures are quick, easy and inexpensive.   She made hers with tissue paper, but you could make them with cute fabric too.

It's Finally HERE!!!! Get some FREE Jewelry and Accessories!

With Halloween now behind us, we can look forward to our next couple of holidays and reasons to celebrate - namely Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I have MANY reasons to celebrate and be thankful this year.

I have a wonderful husband with 3 amazing children.

I have found an awesome business opportunity as a Paparazzi Accessories consultant that is working for me and for many others. 

AND I finally have my Jewelry For Five website up and running!  And because I am thankful for all of you, I want to share and give my products with you!  This a perfect site to go to get beautiful $5 gifts for family and friends with the holidays coming!!!  I am giving away 3 pieces of jewelry to different 4 winners.


BUY FABULOUS $5 JEWELRY
The time is finally here that the Jewelry For Five website is up, stocked and fully working!  That means that now you can buy fashion forward accessories and jewelry from your home and support a family trying to make it in today's tight world.   We are less expensive than Wal-mart and similar in quality to what you would buy at a mall accessory store for $10-$20!   I knew you've been wondering what I sell, now you can see!  

Stock up for all your needs, gifts and styles!  Paparazzi Accessories make perfect gifts for teachers, birthdays, CHRISTMAS, thank you and "just because."    When I was teaching full-time, I got a lot of treats, lotion and cheap candles. I would have LOVED a classy gift of jewelry!  Save yourself money by buying online from Jewelry For Five.

On the website, there are the best sellers and other categories divided by color.  If you are looking for feathers, I have them!  The best sellers sell like crazy at parties - especially the ribbon necklaces.  They look expensive!  I don't have the younger girl items up yet!   Hopefully, they will be up within the week!

This ribbon necklace comes in white, grey, pink, deep purple, navy blue and brown!   Notice the matching earrings included in the $5!!!  Dress it up even more by adding a clip to the ribbon!  You'll look smokin' hot!
These gunmetal wire earrings are a best seller too!   I have these in the dark and lighter silver!   Almost anyone with pierced ears would love these!


Since I have joined this company, I love wearing a headband!  They look so stylish and work so well!  My daughter and I share accessories!  I never thought that would happen!

I love clips!  I never realized how many things you can do with a clip!  They are so versatile.  You can wear them in your hair, or on a shirt, sweater, jacket, coat, necklace, bag, belt and more!   Gotta have a clip in every color! 

If you are bling ring person, we have got a few up today.  We will be adding about 30 more in the next couple of days!   Yipee!

HOST A PARTY
If you want to host a party and get lots of free jewelry, I'd love to help you out with that!   On my team, I have consultants who are willing and wanting to do parties all over in Utah and in 9 different states.   Send me an email letting me know where you live and I will hook you up with a fantastic consultant to fulfill your wishes.  Most of the hostesses right now are getting between $25-$60 (5-12 pieces) in free jewelry per party.   I expect that number to grow as we get closer to Christmas.  If you would like to host an online party, I can help you with that too!  Contact me at jewelryforfive@gmail.com to get set up with a party!



JOIN - BECOME A CONSULTANT
When I wrote the post about Paparrazi Accessories being my "lucky break" in life a couple of months ago, I wasn't kidding.  It just keeps getting better and better and has exceeded my expectations.   I've tried two other companies where I was an independent consultant and it didn't work.  It never even came close to working.  The items were overpriced, and it was like pulling teeth to get people to buy the product or to come to parties.   Paparazzi is so different.  Here is what I refer to as:

THE PAPARAZZI DIFFERENCE!
So what is the difference between Paparazzi and other direct selling company?  I'll tell you!1.  It appeals to every age of females.   There are jewelry and accessories for little girls, tweens, teens, young adults, adults, professionals, mom, grandmas and any other female!  The age range of females at the parties range from baby to Grandmas!
2.  The product is NOT over priced!  (You can't find cute jewelry and accessories for $5 anywhere!!!)  Business is booming in the recession!  The product sells itself!
3.  People of all socio-economic status can afford to buy this.   Even people who have little money can afford $5 to make them feel beautiful.  The "wealthy" can just afford to buy more of it.
4.  Customers do NOT have to order, pay shipping or wait for a shipment.  They take it home with them the night of the party.
5.  The product is always keeping up with the trends. New jewelry comes often.
6.  Impulse buying at its best!
7.  Repeat customers are created.  With every new outfit, gift given or other occasion, customers come back and want more.  (The last 2 weeks, I have sold over $200 from my home to people who don't even live by me.)
8.  People are excited to come to these parties AND they invite their friends!
9.  People ask to host parties!!!!  Many want to become consultants!

10.  THIS IS FUN!!!! Not Torture!!!  People don't hide when they see me coming!
11.  45% commission!  (At parties, I average about $40/hr including setup/takedown!)

Last month at two different parties I was asked to do, there was one person selling purses and one selling jeans in addition to my jewelry.  Both of those ladies have since joined my team when they saw how much I sold, how easy it was, how fun the customers had shopping and how it would add to their business.   If you are already doing parties, you need to add Paparazzi so you make more per party and get more parties booked!  I'm not joking!  It is a no brainer!

With everyone starting to think about gifts for Christmas, parties are happening almost every night, and people are spending like crazy.   It is great for the customers to get Christmas out the way for much less than in years past and it is great for the consultant to be able to support her family!  Win/win situations!

There are two months left of great shopping!  Get on board with Paparazzi and me today so you can start selling next week.  I'm serious!   There are so many people who want to buy this that you can build a business VERY quickly (especially if you live outside of Utah).  With all the boutiques, gift shows, bazaars and more, you have the opportunity to get right in, sell a lot, make many contacts and succeed.     You can get a starter kit full of beautiful jewelry in less than a week!   If you know someone who is looking for a great "mommy job", refer them to me and I'll get you some free jewelry if they join.  Send me an email at jewelryforfive@gmail.com so I can answer your questions and help you get started or go the Paparazzi site HERE and join by entering my consultant number, #1681.  I will send you everything you need to get started after you register!  You can read more about the business side at jewelryforfive.blogspot.com.


TRADE FOR ADVERTISING
I am looking to advertise this website and a little bit about the opportunity to become a consultant.  I would be willing to trade jewelry and accessories for advertising on your blog.  Please email me at jewelryforfive@gmail.com if you are interested in the swap.  I will want to know your statistics (how many visits, page views and viewers you have).
