Mont Blue compact mirrors

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Mont Bleu for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I've been doing some "Spring"cleaning around the house that has kept me from blogging as often as I'd like.

But boy, it feel so good to go through all the junk that we accumulate and purge the stuff we don't need anymore and make room for the things we now love.

One of the area that neede my attention in the house was the so called "mud room" that got a completely make over.

And since I was there I went through my purse and all the bags I have hanging around filled with stuff and boy!! Did I find the most craziest stuff in my purse!!! Everuthing, from store receipts, to baby wipes, my wallet and my glasses and my ever present compact mirror for quick touch ups.

Compact mirrors are one of those accessories every women has in their purse. Mont Bleu added some genuine Swarovski crystals and theirr design, to make them more special.  Mont Bleu compact mirrors are not like everyone's as they are hand decorate from Europe to make sure the quality meets the highest standards.

Now, tell me: what do you have in your purse?? It can be just me having lots of things in there!!

Men working

This is the sign I see when I exit the park where my house it's located and......it IRKS me.
I know it's silly, because I understand it's meaning: they're men working on the road and cars need to watch out for it. No different from "ROAD WORK" to me, just specifying that there are people walking on the curb I guess.

But I can't suppress the urge to slap one on my front door saying "WOMAN WORKING", ya know? Or any other household door (not just mine)

It's like.........what? MEN are more important of WOMEN??? Are we really still there?
Yup, believe it or not we are. Just few days ago my hubby let it slip after I asked him to clean the lawn: "Why don't you do it? You sit home doing nothing all day while I'm at WORK"
(Discussion quickly resolved with a kick on his groins)

Ladies and gentleman, we're in the middle on 2011 and MEN still think they are the one WORKING while we stay-at-home-mom (well me partially as I work on the week ends) staying home watching soap opera and eating chocolate. What? The laundry? the cooking? the cleaning? the children?? BUT we WOMEN enjoy all that, don't we??? oh, and running a business???? that's not even a REAL job, you do that from home so doesn't count. So you all entrepreneurs out there, nope you don't fool any one!

I think I'm going to lit the sign on fire.....

Featuring hollanddesigns

I've know many crochet designer in my year at Etsy, but no one is talented like Lisa at hollanddesigns where you can find the most beautiful and sweet patterns for every taste and very affordable.
I just want one of each!

Let's know Lisa more in details:

I learned to crochet when I was 5 years old and grew up playing with balls of yarn and making gifts for family and friends. To this day I absolutely love going to the yarn shop; it makes me giddy!

I began to design "officially" in my early 20s and have published several baby afghan patterns in such magazines as Crochet World, Crochet Fantasy, Crochet Home & Holiday, plus a couple Annie's Attic publications.

I am originally from Wisconsin, but now live near Auckland, New Zealand. My husband is a Dutch/Kiwi, having been born in NZ, but having also lived in Holland for several years. We've been married 2 years and have a little baby girl, Holland Grace, who models many of my designs. I am now a stay-at-home mom and crochet/design in my spare time.

My blog, "The Life of a Crochet Designer" is viewable at

"She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands." (Prov 31:13)

She's also the amazing designer behind the slippers than I'm proud to sell in my shops.
So, don't waste any more time, go check her shop out! If you're a crocheter you'll enjoy making her patterns and if you're not a crocheter...well, you might ask Lisa to sell you a finished product or she will refer you to somebody that can accommodate you!
