Mystery Bundle

Let's have some fun! 

I have been obsessed by watching "scoop" store packing orders with a theme or around a specific color. 

It looks so fun and what a treat as a customer to receive something handpicked from the seller inventory just for you? 

 I would like to bring that experience for my customer, so I thought to offer crochet mystery bundles: 4-5 handmade items from me for a flat rate of $20, handpicked and coordinated just for you. No digging through multiple listings of multiple items, emailing back and forth to double check availability and what not: just pick a theme or a color and let me treat you!

Crochet Mystery Bundle

Right now, I have several themes available, like Seasonal packages (Like Christmas or Easter), a SPA dedicate bundle, or animal themed. But literally the sky is the limit, you can mix and match, make special requests or try you luck and order a random assortment. 

 I promise, it will be worth your while! 

So, who is first?

Randomness Saturday: Personal post

It's been a while since I've done a personal post from my "Randomness Saturday" series and I thought to bring it back, what do you all think?
Let's see what I can come up with this time....

♥ Gabriel started a new school 2 months ago: even tho I loath the whole situation around his school placement, I'm happy to report that his doing quite well, better that we ever expected. The teacher is very good and he's working very hard....spring forward to June to see if we can win the battle with the school district and have him in the school I want!

♥ Michelle is doing quite well too: her last meeting with the school teacher went very well and she's almost ready to start first grade (yes, she's in the school I want!). She's going to have a recital as a flower and we worked on her dress today: I will make sure to post pictures.

♥ I was a busy lady since Holiday season: literally didn't stop crocheting one day! Thank you all for the support and the patience while I got around your orders.

♥ I no longer have a part time job outside the house: my client passed away before Valentine's day and the agency hasn't been able to find me another person to watch in my available hours. So, here I'm, a stay-at-home-crafter-mom again and I don't mind it!

♥ I'm trying to get my products into local boutique for wholesale or consignment. Easier said that done, but I'm trying. Was already able to have a table to a local event the past weekend where I sold a cupcake pillow.

♥ I found a very awesome site to improve my picture quality: fotofuze. Seriously, you gotta try it! I'm slowly fixing all my pictures.....see a difference already?

♥ Don't forget to show my friend Kim some love and enter her giveaway!

Randomness Saturdays

Another Saturday, other random fact about me!

♥ I had kinda of a weird day, not bad, just weird. Woke up late, got Gabriel to the soccer game just in time but once we got there we realize I forgot his shin guards at home. The coach doesn't allow the kids to play without them because they could get badly hurt. So got home to get them and then rushed back as quick as I could, but Gabriel made it to play just 5 minutes before the game was over :(
He wasn't upset tho, I just felt guilty! Got some pizza on the way back home and after lunch just felt so tired and went for a nap....a long one! Woke up at 5 pm. EEEEK!

♥ Did I ever told you a have weird dreams sometimes?? I know sounds crazy but every once in a while I get dreams about my friends and loved ones. The dreams are usually upsetting and scary and sure enough when I get in touch with the person I dreamed on, something odd is going on in their life....this afternoon I had those kind of dreams about my old sweetheart from college. I think he's in trouble, but really can't do much from 10000 miles away. Hoping I'm wrong this time.

♥ Gabriel came home from school with another suspicious boo-boo last Thursday....please keep praying that we'll be able to pay for the private school sooner rather than later, because this cannot work for long :(

♥ Some more awesome Artfire collections are up! I think this was fitting for this month

Add a dash of Pink!

♥ A movie that I'm enjoy lately is "The corpse Bride" of Tim Button. I love how the story is around different kind of love for different "kind" of people and the animation is superb of course!

Randomness Saturdays

Can't believe is Saturday again.....where the whole week has been? LOL

♥ Just found out yesterday that Gabriel school finally hired a teacher that will start on Monday. I'm hopeful that she will do a good job with my son, but somehow believe that it's too little and too late. We'll see.

♥ Gabriel felt better today, so we brought him for his soccer game. This is him greeting me. He's doing a much better job staying in the game and I'm sooooo proud of him. One of the other mom out there cheering asked me if Gabriel even stop smiling: I answered "I hope he will never do that!"

♥ Michelle is getting over her cold also and will be going to the pumpkin patch in a couple of weeks. So excited, would be her first with the school.

♥ Watched 2 animation movies this week that I really liked: One is "Igor" and I loved it because talks about how it's possible that a "nobody" change things and save the day. And the other one is "Space Chimps", was also great because talks about true friendship and I loved one little character in there that has an impossible name but she's funny because her head lights up and she sing when she's scared. Way too cute.

♥ Tomorrow is exactly a month since my mom and sister went back in Italy. Feels like a whole year to me and I've been thinking to them a lot. And when I miss my mom, this song always come to my mind, I hope you'll enjoy too.

Randomness Saturdays

Oh my, it's been a while since I did my last Randomness Saturday, uh? Did you miss it? I know I missed you'll incredibly! But here some updates.

♥ First Month of school: Gabriel is not doing so good :( His formerly teacher retired after few weeks of the beginning of the school and he still is with an assistant and in my opinion not getting the services he needs. He got bitten by fire ants of Tuesday, got home with a boo boo under his eye on Wednesday and got fever on Friday...what the h....?? Already complained with the school principal.
Michelle instead is doing pretty good and enjoying it too!

♥ I thought was a smart idea to go back to school. Only trouble is....I don't have the money, so I'm applying for every financial aid/scholarship I can find and just that it's like a full time job, oh my! I hope I get in! We'll see.

♥ Yesterday my hubby went to lunch out with some of his colleagues and he said that the waitress was hitting on him. When he made an effort to show her his left hand with the wedding band on, he saw the face of the girl turning so pale of embarrassment. I thought was funny!

♥ I'm running a little giveaway on twitter in honor of National Cupcake Week. Want to join me? I will pick a random winner among the people that RT this by tomorrow morning:
@piccoladonna RT this message for your chance to win a free #cupcake from my shop http://bit.ly/cEi5ng free shipping on #cupcakes

Good luck ;)

♥ Movies I watched lately.....hmmm I watched "Peter Pan" with the kids yesterday night 'cause I think it's an evergreen that every kid should watch. And my hubby is trying to convert me in the "Star Wars" saga, but I must say, it's really not my thing. oh well!

♥ Song of the week: Drops of Jupiter by Train

Randomness Saturdays

Ok, I really don't have much to post, er- actually I have a little fan facts to share with you.
So I start personal and I will say that I was sick for the past 2 weeks and finally got better and got around to put away all the Christmas decorations that I had still around (I know it's the end of January right???) My kids didn't really like my "cleaning" and when I explained them that wasn't Christmas time any more they looked at me with their big eyes and said: "But we wanna Christmas presents!" Yeah, me too!
