Goddess Dress Parties

For weeks, maybe months, I watched as my friend, Kari, posted pics of cute, comfy, stylish dresses that she was selling for $20.   She was a new goddess (aka rep) for a company out of Topeka, KS, called Goddess Dress Parties.    I finally got brave and asked if she would consider driving over an hour and a half to hold a party for me.  She said yes, so after weeks of trying to get our calendars lined up and finding a place to hold the party I had my first Goddess Dress Parties party at my friend's coffee shop.  

After that day, I knew I was hooked and if I wanted very many of these comfy dresses I would have to find a way to come up with the money to join the team and become a goddess, which I did the next month.

As a goddess we do home parties where we bring a rack with 100+ free-sized dresses and accessories, all available for immediate purchase for the amazing low price of $20 (plus tax).  The parties are fun and pressure-free.   There are no formal presentations, demos or high pressure sales pitches.      Our inventory changes with every party we do so we are unable to offer online sales.  Also, we do not know what items are being sent to us when we get a new inventory shipment from the warehouse so it's like Christmas every time a new shipment arrives. 

    This picture was my set up at my very first home party.

The following pics are some of the dresses that I have in my inventory.

(entries closed) Book Giveaway: Audrey Bunny by Angie Smith

About the Author

Angie Smith is the wife of Todd Smith (lead singer of Dove Award winning group Selah), best-selling author of Mended, I Will Carry You, and What Women Fear, and one of the most popular speakers and blog writers in the country. She holds a Master’s degree in Developmental Psychology from Vanderbilt University and lives with her husband and daughters in Nashville, TN.

 

Book description from Amazon:

 

From best-selling women’s author Angie Smith (I Will Carry You, Mended) comes this sweet children’s book about a stuffed animal named Audrey Bunny who fears her imperfections make her unworthy of a little girl’s love. She'll learn the truth soon enough, and young readers will learn that everyone is special and wonderfully made by God.

 

Book description from the book cover of the book:

 

Looking out from the barrel of stuffed animals at the toyshop, Audrey Bunny is afraid her imperfections make her unworthy of being chosen to receive a little girl's love.  She'll learn the truth soon enough, and young readers will learn that everyone is special and wonderfully made by God.

 

My review:

 

The book is colorfully illustrated.  This story about a little girl and her "imperfect" bunny is a wonderful way to teach children that even with our imperfections we were wonderfully made by God.  At the back of the book there is a "Parent Connection" page which gives some questions that parents can discuss with their child(ren).  I highly recommend this book for anyone with a child in their life.

(At this time Audrey Bunny is #1 in Christian Books on Amazon)

(entries closed) Book giveaway: Roma Downey's Little Angels Prayers for Every Day

 

About the book:  Little Angels Prayers for Every Day by Roma Downey features more than 50 simple rhyming prayers that cover a typical day and the typical worries of a young child. From waking in the morning to going to sleep at night, from thanking God for a meal to praying for His comfort when afraid, the prayers here will help little ones to see that any moment is a good moment to talk to God. Relevant Bible verses are scattered throughout the book as well! 

 

My review about the book:   I love this book.   It is a hardback book and the cover is softly padded.   The pages are cardboard so it will last a long time.  As you can see from the picture it is very well illustrated with brightly colored pictures.  All the prayers are short and easy for little ones to read and understand.   The topics that are covered are prayers for morning, praise, thanks, mealtimes, others, help, guidance, forgiveness, comfort, and bedtime. 

 

This is a great little book and is perfect for that special child in your life.

I needed to get a birthday gift for the attorney I work with but couldn't think of anything to get him.  I decided to attempt making my first snack bouquet.  I guess it turned out pretty decent.  He loved it.  He said he sent a pic of it to his girlfriend so she could see what he got and she was impressed.

Items needed to make a snack bouquet:

Snacks/candy bars

Small dowel rod (I used wooden skewer sticks)

Glue gun*

Curling Ribbon

Coffee mug or other container

Styrofoam block

If you are using a clear container you might want to use a piece of tissue paper to

hide the styrofoam which is why I used the tissue paper in the one in the picture.

*for the Cheez-Its and cookies I used a clear, wide sealing tape instead

of the glue gun to attach the item to the stick.

Snickers Cookies

These are some of my favorite cookies to make.  And, they have been a hit with family and friends. 

Cookies:

1 cup butter
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 bags fun size Snickers bar, cut in half (I used mini Snickers)

Chocolate glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 tablespoon milk (may need more)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Cream butter, peanut butter, both sugars, egg and vanilla. Add flour and form in small balls. Wrap the dough around the Snickers bar completely covering it and making it somewhat round.
 Bake 10-12 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet onto waxed paper; let cool.

 



Chocolate glaze:
Mix powdered sugar and cocoa; add enough milk to make a drizzle glaze to string over the top of the cooled cookies.
