Starting fresh, well... still need the blog makeover but for now im posting here until we get it done. not sure if we'll stay here on BLOGGER or go elsewhere. what do you recommend???

It has been 6 months since I have been to blog land. I so miss everyone.

Im ready for change and to start fresh!

DREAM WITH YOUR EYES WIDE OPEN ~

ohhhh a sweet girl made this picture for me last year from MYSPACE. I didn't ask her, she just did it. its diff. but so sweet of her.

Sleeping Beauty has her moments too

Oh by the way..... Last Post, I wasn't refering to me being Sleeping Beauty, but the title was catchy and this is what its going to be about here. Inspiration, fun & ideas & as much pretty things as I find to share with you all. If I find something that inspires me, and believe me, I get inspired by wayyyyyyy diff. mediums and styles. If it inspires me who knows what you can draw from it so I'll share it too. I'll try not to write too much, I write as much as I talk.... this mommy needs to get around adults more often. so remember I have 5 girls and my mind is spinning from it all.
Get creating! Have fun!!
XO Joelle

Sleaping Beauty Awakes....

Wow... has time slipped away from me for a bit. The last time I was on here was about 6 months ago. Shame on me. This little land of inspiration was much needed for me. How could I have let it go??? So many wonderful, thoughtful, sharing, caring, giving & talented souls all right here in the blogland. A place to escape and dream. Get creative, motivated, ideas, inspiration & support, yet I slipped away for a bit and continued with my hectic, stressful long days of being a mommy alone without much support. Ohhhh the drama and caotic schedules of a busy family with 5 girls, 2 big dogs(one a rescue STILL here) a workaholic husband and some really bad issues I had to deal with, almost all by myself. Not good when some horrible things happening have to do with neighbors. Yes one right next door was a stay at home DADDY. A computer geek hacker freak! CREEP. His wife is??? a dr. shrink! go figure! anyways... they took off left fast before selling their home and the story continues.......The other neighbor must have figured since the wife was a dr. that she should run & tell her something that she wanted to cause more drama about and she actually didn't put childrens safety first, she let jealousy get the best of her sooooooo ~ I can not go into it right now.BUT!!!! I WILL. Its important people pay attention to things around them and not be ignorant. Weirdos are everywhere. bad guys aren't JUST the crack heads in the ghetto. Its been very unhealthy for me. for my girls. Im dealing with alot of stress and negativity and I realy could use a friend and Im comming back here to get you all back and find me again and not let jealous, hypactritical, selfish people bring me down. I have children to take care of. THEY do not need cold mothers to distract me from being the best mommy I can be.
PARENTS.... pay attention to how you act in front of your children. The way your children behave most often reflect your behavior. Lifes to short and your children need you to be the best you can be. Not a Jealous. caddy, selfish, bi*chy wannaB. (sorry, I had to get that out and im done)
Lets just say its time for me to move forward, get back to LIVING life again. Love my girls and keep them safe and happy and be inspired and hopefully inspire others.
I Miss YOU ALL who have been to my blog and to those of you whom I know from all over.
I seriously LOVE you all for your creative souls!
Best Wishes ~
Joelle

Think Spring!

Hello all my Blogger friends! I have been missing all you creative souls!

It has been a very busy year already for me. I haven't been blogging or doing much online business in awhile. I so miss all the inspiration & kindness from everyone. You would think I would make it a point to come visit you all when I need a break or some positive boost!

My girls have been keeping me pretty busy & Im just trying to do a few designs here & there but this little girl is a handfull. She is full force at everything. For anyone that doesn't know I just had my 5th baby girl about a year ago. She was walking at 91/2 months & running fast now. & talking quite a bit already. I love being a mommy & loved being pregnant but sooo miss being ME. Sometimes you forget who you are. but I guess if your doing something right thats bound to happen.

Anyways...... Im on my way to finding me again & part of that is CREATING.

I joined ETSY in 06 but forgot about it & then got pregnant & just started selling on ETSY.

I have a few video's that i will post for those whom do not know about Etsy yet & for those who do... you might not have seen them. I know im new to ETSY & trying to read as much as I can on the forums & stork & joining teams.... so much to read, learn & do.

If your an artist, designer, photographer, baker, goshhhhh if you CREATE Check ETSY out.

http://www.joelledolcebebe.com/ ~ this is my shop. Its so new & a bunch of this & that. I have TONS to get finished & list. furniture, mirrors, lamps, benches, canvas paintings & lots more.... keep checking back I have lots of goodies that need homes.

Happy Spring!...... Its just around the corner. Get Inspired For Fresh New Things! XOXO

Sweet Etsy Finds.

"This precious outfit is part of the Nicole Belle Designs "Diva Collection." This black tank top is embellished with a pink with black polka dot ribbon centered with a rhinestone buckle. The ribbon attached at the bottom of a black karate pant adds the finishing touch to this precious little outfit."

This is too cute. I like the Bold Look for a change from all the sweet pink. The bottom of the pants are so hip & fun ~A bit of a flair & added ribbon for some Posh Glam.

Go Check her out on ETSY... She has other little goodies in her shop. Have fun!

Im Thinking Green ~

Well not Green like in Fresh Spring things or St. Patricks Day BUT GREEN as in Earth friendly.

Im still Loving my Pinks! However.... Im thinking of focusing a bit on Recycled, reused, revamped materials in my designs. Many ETSY artists are Earth Friendly with their creations. Some are new to it but others are spreading the word to those who have no clue.

So My little part is to Go Green too! Well try it as much as I can.

The Little Pink stool in the Photo above is made from "salvaged" porch spidles for the legs. They were very Dark stained Old junky parts, took layers of yucky paint off & then had to deal with the sunk in stain. but I DID IT!

I made several of them with my Found treasures (junky old spindels)
I use to make alot of little benches & chairs with Old parts (wooden trims,moldings,ballisters etc)for a girl in Texas (years ago before we moved) LOVED IT!

I absolutely LOVE the stool. I had a hard time parting with the other two. so sweet & charming.

who would have known the little history behind such a New Posh Piece for little ones. (safe of course from lead & icky things) Im full aware of all the child safety codes/laws. This mommy doesn't risk anything.

soooo all you creative bloggers.... & friends. Keep checking back on my Etsy for now to see what other treasures I come up with. ~http://www.joelledolcebebe.com/

Im going to realy try to focus on RECYCLED/SALVAGED pieces for my designs.

I use alot of parts already but im going to TRY to only use found pieces. (search Etsy & such for scrap ribbons & still wonderful & CLEAN expensive ribbons, just from other designers that sew etc...) recycling does not mean YUCK. you would be surprised what I can do.
This Sweet Cherub Lilac Board was a salvaged wooden board. I bought the metal hooks new but Must look for salvaged/recycled ones. If you have any you want to get rid of..... send them my way, I'll be your new best friend! : )

Do You Know about ETSY??

Ok.... I got a little bit Video Clip Happy. I found these short clips about ETSY & had to add them to my Myspace. (I rarely go there either. not such a good time online with my hacker/stalker jerk & im trying so hard not to talk about it & only THINK POSITIVE! & im creating a new MYSPACE & being extra careful. Actually Myspace has been good for me, it wasn't myspace that I had problems with. anyways.... A new & improved Posh Bebe Boutique with like minded friends & positive artists will be allowed on this Myspace. ~ just another site to display some inspiration * http://www.myspace.com/joelledolcebebe

Its a Fantastic place to network or just "Park" your LINK to your official sites.(free exposure can not hurt!$$) so anyways sweeties.... a few more clips will be towards the bottom of my POSTS.. so go look down below for some more ETSY Videos. Quite a swell bunch of folk! ; ) just teasing, they are the new way of working in the work place. for the artsy type. Go take a peak & have fun!

Kisses XOXO

Busy busy busy....

Hello everyone. I haven't been posting lately but I still think about all my blog friends. Im wondering how everyones New year is going. Im super busy. Alot of different projects & things going on in my life. My one year old little baby girl is very active. Not walking everywhere but running. She is full of energy & so super smart already. Im so happy. She Loves broccoli & today ate green peppers in slices. Ohhhh how I so hope she will be eating healthy & not picky. She is such a great baby & happy & Loves to learn new things everyday!!! I am truely blessed. I hate waiting & hate stress. However.... My girls come first & I figured I should focus on my girls right now & take a short break & not try to do everything all at once. For me to not paint or create something daily, is soooo hard. I always feel the need to be productive & busy. I am busy but family busy not designs. Maybe this was a good break for me to refresh??? I hope. I need to move forward & get my designs out there.
Soooo to all of you who believe in me ~ THANK YOU! Big huge kisses & hugs to you. I am so very greatful for all your support & encouragement. ALL of You. Every single one of you whom left me a comment, message or emailed me. I treasure your thoughtful words & time. I wish you all tons of LOVE, health, happiness & success.
Keep checking back, I should be posting much more soon.
Enjoy your week.
Believe in yourself.
DREAM WITH YOUR EYES WIDE OPEN!
kISSES ~

Sitting in Style

Ohh how I wish I would have known about these chairs. The Nicole Reid CollectionTM offers beautiful hand-carved high chairs that add a touch of elegance to your living space.

I love them. I love this leopard print, I love the cream, I love the black. I love them all. They not only look stylish & classy, they are quite functional too. They work well with your decor. They are not an eye sore. They add style to your room & make your little Prince or Princess sit upon a Posh seat with such regal presence. A wonderful piece to have at Grandparents house. A necessary seat when child comes to visit, yet a wonderful design to not become an eye sore when not in use.

On top of all that.... this wonderful find actually becomes a youth chair. So you really get your moneys worth.

This would actually be great for the parents whom have more than one child. They would look stylish & not be too much as if having double or more Plastic high chairs all in a row. These would be perfect baby shower gifts. A great gift for those whom want to go in together on a big ticket item. This definitely would be a gift that lasts!

Enjoy her site. She is definitely someone to watch. Nicole Ried:http://www.nicolereid.com/

Prince Fairy ~

This is such a charming little Prince. I turned him into a fairy collage. This is actually my first attempt to do a collage painting. I loved it. I did another one ~Princess Fairy. I sold her along time ago to a boutique owner that hung it in her home for HERSELF. She said it made her smile.

I am still missing that painting. I think I will part with this one. Even though it is my first, I do not have him hanging around. He deserves a special home.

He is standing proudly atop the World. He will one day rule the world in his little land. I think i will post him on my Etsy site tomarrow. take a peak http://www.joelledolcebebe.com/

My first 3 collages. I'm proud of them all.

The middle happy fairy is a magnet on

my fridge.

Bonne Nuit

I thought of A sweet little gift for baby showers. So I created this little wooden plaque. I did change the crystal at the bottom to a real chandelier crystal instead. I just like it better.
Sweet, charming & one of a kind. They can say "Bonne Nuit" (french) or Sweet Dreams.
Available in several other dreamy colors. I guess I could make them in Bolder colors for those with brighter decor. Each one with a tiny bouquet in the corner with just the right amount of sparkle & magic. (Painted berries & birdy, pearl, rhinestone & flowers)
Such a little thing but has such Huge impact.
perfect for baby showers & just sweet for any time gift. hang it from anything to just add some charm & sweetness.

Even better gift, add to one of my painted pails & throw in a cutom bib & birpies & even some homemade all natural soap. Now thats a GREAT baby shower gift.
LOTS of great finds on the esty site. Click on my link to start ~ www.JoelleDolceBebe.etsy.com Type in the "search" for baby bibs or all natural soaps..... or whatever you want. SOOOOO many great finds on ETSY. Support Handmade & Indie artists. not slave factories.
Support more moms like me.
Thank you!

Who is behind the mask?

I ask myself daily... who am I? What am I thinking? what am I doing? Where do I go with all this? WHY???? Why to so many diff. things I am struggling with daily.

I must regroup. FOCUS. Think Positive. I need to believe in me. No matter how hard it is in my life right now & how alone I am doing all this. I NEED to FOCUS. Believe & move in another direction.

Art Inspires me

Fashion inspires Me

Music Inspires Me

My 5 Girls inspire me

Seal Is inspiring....

So many things inspire me. So many artists on here, Blogs on here. Photo's on here. They All inspire me. However, ALL of it is making me spin. I want to do it all but there is only one of me.

For now I must focus on baby & child. All the sites & blogs that I can benefit from & those whom could benefit from me.I must appeal to the bigger market I guess. Little ol' me can not be found with all my eye candy of Fashion & art all over my page. I must give in to commercial ways & play the game I guess. Time will tell. I would love to set an example. A new one.

Show RETAIL & Commercial Buyers that they do have a choice. they can go off in a new direction. They do not need to buy from the TYPICAL markets & buy only from those whom have "mass" produced items or an already stalked studio with kitty cutter "fast buck" items.

That those whom appreciate one of a kind (this seems to be used broadly & too frequently)

can actually get one of a kind from their favorite boutique that they want to support. To know that brick & mortar stores as online stores..... actually take the time to seek out those "one of a kind" quality items. Not quantity one of a kinds that every online store is selling. How "one of a kind" are they? I am not knocking them at all. Sure I would love my line to take off & sell my style to as many as I can; and as many of that ONE item to as many stores as I could. but there is a difference between that & taking the time to offer specialty items.

That is what I want to do. but not get trampled over by the MASS produced items.

I'm not into making a quick buck. I do not have time for that. I just don't believe in that. Anything QUICK doesn't last long. I'm in it for the long run.

Does this make sense to anyone?

I'm trying to reach anyone that appreciates my style & work & hope to build a relationship, clientele & name with them. Grow with them as they continue to grow.

ANY & ALL advice is welcome.

Thanks for reading yet another LONG one. I'm working on that too.

My new inspiration ~

Thanks to Sandra Evertson I found Alannah. I love this Australian Designer. (Originally from Tasmania) She is just so girly, frou frou, frilly, sweet, romantic, sexy & a perfect thought in my creative mind. I want her dresses. I want to see more. I do not know what it is. All the pictures, settings, backgrounds, colors, details.... Whatever it is, it is inspiring me.
Now it is just a matter of figuring it all out.
Wish me luck.http://alannahhill.com.au/ Enjoy her site & shop around. if you purchase anything. Please do share! : )

Catch the Magic...

Christmas Spirit ....

Christmas Spirit is in the air. People are decorating all over. here in the South.. many decorate BEFORE Thanks Giving. Can you believe it all you Northerners??? Most Have their tree & outside decorated the next day. It looks so lovely & everyone is putting Christmas Spirit in the air. I guess we need a little more Christmas Spirit down here since we do not get all the Christmasy snowflakes. I think I seen a tiny flake or 2 last year. My girls do not miss bundling up, but i sure do. I miss their cute little red noses. Seeing their little breath in the air when they talk. Building snowmen together. making snow angels together. Going sledding at Lake Shore with all the neighbors. Having my girls go to the Peak n Peak every weekend to ski. My daughter used to be on SKI club at school. (in elementary, can you believe it, that's how close we were to the Peak. That's a big ski resort near where we live. All my girls would ski during the winter season. I got a break & did my things & had goodies for them when they came home.
My brother ski's all over the world. He just went to dinner with that red headed carrot top guy won the olympics???? In Chile. He's a serious skiir,I like to go to the ocean & get tan & watch for dolphins & sharks. I hate being cold. I will one day get over that & ski with them all.
I even want to learn how to surf? well... im getting off subject here but I guess im reminicing a bit by myself and dreaming about plans to come...
Anyways....Off to pick my daughter up.
I wish you all some happy shopping times ahead & some time to bake & enjoy the Christmas time with your loved ones.
Peace ~

My head is spinning, Christmas is comming....Fast.

I can't believe Christmas is right around the corner. As usual I promised myself that i would TRY to get my Christmas shopping done right after summer. YEA right!

Don't we all promise to get it finished sooner than last year. but I REALY wanted to have it all handled before the season started so I could focus on decorating, painting, Christmas cookies & such to pass out to family & friends & school. Enjoy doing some Christmas parties at school too.

Relax & enjoy the Holiday spirit & all the wonderful christmas shows on tv with my girls. Go see new Movies with them, possibly even with my husband. ( looks like that just won't happen, he is always too busy)

I know if I got all the shopping finished I would still shop right up to the last minute but only for extras but there would be no hurry or stress in doing it.

Well.... Im not even close to being done. I NEVER even got close to starting after summer. WHY!

Why make a promise to myself when I know what will happen... because I KNOW I can do it. I will just try harder next year.

I think the Holiday season is ment to be with your family & friends & not about the material things but thats just how society has become. (well a big part of it)

I do not want to miss out on my little ones enjoying the christmas shows & having me there with them relaxing, not all stressed out. I want to make cookies & not worry about the mess or if they are perfect but enjoyed it with my girls because they do not care.

I want to make "homemade" gifts with my girls that are too sweet & alot of love gone into them & it shows & pass out to our family & friends.

Thats why it is so important to me to get all the Christmas shopping done early. So I can enjoy the Season with my girls.

Well, it looks like It will have to wait another year before that ALL can happen. So I guess I will just have to try to enjoy it as much as I can & get everything done one day at a time.

off to find more inspiration.....

ohhhh one more Sweet thing ~

Look at these sweet soft sewn stuffed animals.
I LOVE white. I love simple, clean & fresh style.
Just charming. Who would think some stuffed geese could look so classy? Im not a huge fan of stuffed animals & all the dust mites that can come with them & clutter & fuzzies etc... but these would look great for those who don't care for the masses of commercial stuffed animals that every child has. Clean, sweet, one of a kind.
So unique. I would LOVE to see these in a gorgeous baby boutique or home decor store with a baby & child section. If I could sew... I would try these! hint hint.... anyone?

SNEAK PEAK

This is a sneak peak of another piece I am working on.
It is no where close to being finished, Lots of goodies to add to this & layers of paints etc.... For a child's room? hmmmmm How do i do that? Not your typical child's room is it? so I have to figure it out. How I get myself into this I don't know..... and where are those moms at that are looking for something totally diff. & not typical baby or child pieces?
I wish my mind would be so much simpler.

Wish Fairy

Ok.... here is yet another little collage hook that I need to fix up & add to Etsy after I take more pictures outside. Everyone seems to be doing collage work, so I thought I would give it a try.

Since I paint furniture I figured I would put a collage on a functional piece & see how it turns out.

This little hook is the "Wish Fairy"... Happy little vintage image of a girl with wings & wand. DREAM is on handtorn paper below her. Pink & fanciful. Whimsical yet shabby chic.

Just a sweet happy little hook to hang little ones TuTu, Balet shoes, nightie, Favorite sweater or whatever you Wish.

Check back soon on my Etsy to see when I add this one of a kind hook.

Strumpfkunst on ETSY has the cutest little sock critters. These sweet jolly little ones are just too happy to pass. I think every little child should have a favorite little friend to take everywhere. Why not a one of a kind from a sweet girl from Germany. She takes great pride in making sure her little critters are safe & up to standards yet look adorable. Take a look at all her friends.

My Mind is Having a Party

Click on the pictures for a larger view....

This is a colorful little piece of artwork that I am working on. I have been painting so much with such soft colors & sweet details.I needed to do something different. A girl on ETSY loves everything I do but she says her home is more modern & bold. Her daughters rooms are brighter & trendy.She said she would love to have me create something for her and she asked me if I did other types of work besides the softer designs. I told her I do everything. I have been focusing on a certain style but I love a challenge & like to play around with different things.Previously I said I was inspired by Oilily , those sweet little Dutch pouches with the more vivid colors from my Etsy friend & those 2 tops below designed by Jared gold, and that I was going to make something from their yummy & inspiring photo's. However... when I began to paint I just went with it & this piece ended up this way instead.

I still love it. My oldest daughter LOVES it ~ so it must be ok?

It is Fun, bright, bold, whimsical & just different. It was fun.

It isn't finished so I can't post it on My Etsy shop just yet,

but I wanted to post it now to see how it looks online.

I Need to take pictures outside & diff. angles.

Tomarrow. I hope it doesn't rain.

I have a few more im working on with this "MacKenzie-Childs theme.

Flirty, fun, Bold, Vogue & whimsical.

Please let me know what you think. This was fun doing something different.

I just have so many ideas in this little mind of mine.

I want to do it all.

It is hung with a hanger in the back, but I think I need to have a "faux" ribbon, or crystal chain, or metal chain of some sorts , or possibly a leather rope to hang it from just for decoration?

What do you think? Any ideas.... PLEASE share.

I want this to be perfect.

Bonne Nuit ~

ETSY ~ Time to Shop!!!

I am new to ETSY. Well, I joined about a year ago. I was only a buyer until now. I just recently started as a seller. I am so new. I don't even think anyone knows I am there. So many sellers & so many different things out there. It can be overwhelming. Even to the most seasoned seller. Always new things added daily.

It is so CRAZY. So many people I run into have no idea about ETSY. Never heard of it before.

So its wild how great it is doing & all the press & stock etc... That means it is even yet wayyyy more Bigger than we know. MORE money to be made, more & more people to reach. A huge market is an understatement. Its International baby!

The one huge difference being International is ~ The People. The artists, the designers. Self representing artists. One of a kind. No big huge factory here. Just people. Real people. A huge variety of people. There is something for everyone. There is even more on the way.

Talk about inspiration.

Who can't get inspired here.

I brought in a "friend" from myspace. WOW! BAM!

Talk about Overwhelming. She was spinning. She didn't know where else to go after looking at my shop. She loved it. She was hooked. She had just begone the journey.

I now think we have yet another artist in the making. She was inspired. She was motivated.

She got the bug. She too wants to live the American dream. Wait! Its not just the American dream anymore... Its International. It is a bond between the world & cyber business. cyber workforce in motion. Our work. Our creations & designs & hobbies & goods all coming together bonding us all from all over the world. There is no walls. It wide open for the general public. wherever you are. You have choices now. More than you ever did. To choose to be a consumer wherever you wish, in whatever country you want. To choose to be your own boss. Your own business, however you want to project it & succeed with it. Your own terms.

This is Etsy.

Its your way of life & what You want to make of it.

I am a business women. A mommy. A designer. A consumer. A critic. A friend. A mentor & a student. I am all those things here at Etsy.

I've only begone the journey.

I have so much to learn, so much to buy, & even so much more to make. The sky's the limit.

I am lucky to have Etsy in my life & help me pursue my dreams.

I am Joelle Dolce Bebe Come take a peak into my shop & see me in the beginning & what I have to offer & watch me add more new & exciting designs as I grow & learn.

This is just the beginning. I have tons more waiting in the wings.

I would Love to have you be part of my success & enjoy something I created from home while being the best mommy I can be at the same time.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Now go take a look what I am talking about & enjoy the world of ETSY!

Sweet Dreams ~

INSPIRATION.....

What inspires you?
So many things inspire me

Music, wedding magazines,

Lingerie shops from Paris & Italy,

Haute couture,
things you would never expect from me,
from looking at my designs.

I just came across Jared Golds site.

I found these pictures.

I LOVE them.

YUMMY eye candy.

So bold & yet flirty sweet & daring.

Then I recognized this girl .

Lisa Da'mato from that top model show

my girls watch.& of course I get into it. ~
hey theres that big mouth girl...

well.. she will admit to that.

But I did think she had very strong features.

She did more modeling work before, than anyone knew.

Someone said "get your teeth

fixed" bla bla bla...

jealousy can make you shout out horrible things.

I personally think her teeth

add characture & thats her look.

I love this Pink outfit.

now Im going to create

something with that look

http://www.jaredgold.com/

Then I came across another

Etsy Friend "FromHollandWithLove"

& her sweet little Dutch pouches...

Are they not too sweet or what?
This all reminds me of the designer "Oilily"...

http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5288597

Please take a look at her site & mine while your at it.

Support HANDMADE & shop Etsy,

the real people, the artist, not a factory.

Bling Bling.....

Check out this jewelry designer on ETSY ~ Jessi Taylor. I LOVE these two rings.
So simple yet strong. Im a princess & it has my name on it. & the NORTH STAR.... I came up with that name for my husbands car dealership back home. NORTH STAR MOTORS.

ROSEY POSEY FRIENDS from ETSY....

I have been so busy with everything I forgot to share this sweet find.
I bought this cute little onesie from my fellow ESTY/BLOGGER FRIEND awhile back.
She is the sweetest girl & makes the sweetest clothes for little ones ~ & other little treasures.
She made mine with a little ruffle trim at the sleeves. & this is a little bag to use for whatever I wish. WE use this sweet bag for my precious babies favorite book, doll & pretend baby bottle to take in the car. Its HER little bag of goodies. A perfect little bag to have handy for our million trips in the car. Its sweet & so precious. It has the vintage charm of when days were much more innocent & simple. LOVE IT & LOVE HER.
THANK YOU Cheryl.

I don't just LOVE PINK for girls.......

I love Pink. Its so pretty, sweet, & girly. Just a really soothing & soft color.
I don't like ALL the pinks out there.
I don't like" TOO MUCH "of anything.

I don't like overkill & I do not like a nursery to scream ...."BABY".

Well... let me clarify myself. Baby is great. A time to celebrate. Enjoy the time. however... some people tend to go overboard with typical dept. store baby items. POOH, Mickey Mouse & everything that they can put those trademark charactures on; down to the trash can. THEMED. BABY BABY. Don't settle. There are way too many places to shop now. Online & locally. Support handmade. NOT CHINA.

You'll find you could possibly spend less if you didn't do the THEME. Use Pooh for stuffed animal. Mickey & Minnie for toys or Print in a fun frame.If you must have those typical baby items; But find what you already have, or What relatives might pass down to you. Make your nursery or little ones room THEIR own. YOUR style.Not someone elses. Pick your favorite color. That you will enjoy. Show your little one from an early age your style. Find things unexpecting in those colors to decorate the room with. ~ Ok... im getting carried away with this post. Im "branching"... So I will return with more ideas on this subject soon. I just came back to correct a typo. & had to say a bit more. ooops.

I like style, class & sophistication. Believe it or not, with all the shabby things I did back then & the Posh pretty things now and I guess that "shabby chic" style is still out there... im still painting things I guess some would say "shabby chic" The SHABBY is just a bit more Poshed up a bit.... More French or along the classic lines of the softer SWEDISH influences.

Im very Tradional in my own style. Pick anything from VERANDA. You can find my style in there. When I create all my little treasures & talk about all the girly frou frou posh this & thats.... I love it all but not all together, too much. Things stand out more when you have a variety. Not all"princess" themed or not everyting "shabby chic" or just all things cottage. I think you can achieve a more lovely feeling & room of style with adding things you love but not sticking to just one theme. I HATE themes.... I Love what I like. I don't have a paticular style or THEME. Try adding different elements to your room. remove the "overkill" add something traditional, classic, something old, something new, something borrowed something blue. Gosh.... that kinda apply's to decorating. instead of "BLUE" use whatever color it is you love. add a contrasting color for panache, for flair, for fung shui add bit of red. You can make it work. Just try something diff,. Look at the room in a diff. view. How would it look if you added another piece from somewhere else in your home. something un expecting. Just try not too go overboard so it looses its charm & no one sees YOUR style. they just see OH cottage shabby... the same look everyone is doing. STAND APART from everyone else & make it YOUR room, Your STYLE. try it. You don't have to decorate how you think "that theme" is suppose to be. MAKE it YOUR OWN.

Dream with your eyes wide open !

Dreamy Headboards....

How is this for a cozy place to nestle? Imagine this lucky princess drifting off to slumerland & dreaming magical dreams.... Nice, huh? Barry Dixon a designer from Viginia designs some gorgeous rooms. I thought this little headboard & the way he transformed this little nook was was way too charming. Not everyone can be as Posh as this but you can use your imagination & look at things in a whole new way.

How dramatic is this? I Love it. This style is way easy to recreate. Very Regal. Very classy. Get some plywood, some batting or foam some great stiped material & if you can't afford it... get white canvas & Paint your stripes.* Little tip ~ use some fabric medium w/ your regular paint. look for some great nail heads or get creative & use some nails or screws that are a bit more chunky & paint them to have the color, stain,metal effect you want. & outline the piece.You can use whatever you want for overhead lighting, sconces or artwork/accessorie for the middle piece. keep it simple, clean & Vogue by a few unique objects. you do not need a whole lot to get big impact. Now let your imagination run wild & dream up diff. headboards & color schemes.

I'd be happy to help ; ) I love a challenge.

Do not ever judge a book by a cover. it is so true. you never know what is behind the "mask" and so many have a heart of gold, no bad bone in their body yet might not have the "LOOK" you care for. yet the ones with the "LOOK" you accept.... could have many hidden secrets that are left to be unsaid. Give people a chance before judging

Sweet cherub cottage charm, or perhaps Fanciful cherub wondermint, or even French country Style. Whatever it is or whatever you prefer, these pieces will make any girl feel special & they will add so much charm & many dreams in her room. I could see these not only in a little girls bedroom, or nursery but also in a bathroom to hang washclothes/towles, guest towles, a robe, kitchen ~ your favorite apron, or perfect place to hold your bag/purse when you come in, whatever you think. I think its pretty enough for all of us wherever you decide.

Not your style? Be the hit at the next baby shower. Truely a gift that will last & never be forgotten.

Ooooh La La French inspiration....

I Love Paris. I Love French things. I LOVE European cities & their wealth of art & architecture & the old world charm..... oh of course the European men & their accents. Don't we all. Never mind men, Women too. I just love accents. I have always been fascinated with the long ago world of antiques & castles & anything that made me believe in fairy tales & what granduer it all entailed. Maybe thats why I love to create little tesors that have the charm of long ago French boutiques. All their little goodies for the special little girls whom had to have the best. Not your typical decor each commoner would have but Unique pieces that weren't found in the everyday stores. These pieces were found on shopping trips to Big cities were only the affluent would travel. Yes, thats what I envisioned when I would dream of what a little princess might have in her special little bedroom. Today I still do the same. I try to create a piece no other will have. A charming piece of something fanciful yet practical & just so sweet to look at.


I Love dreaming & adding that little extra something to make it special. You can always be assured that no two will ever be exactly alike.I design everything & create everything myself. Im a mommy to 5 girls. Im not a factory in China. Its all me. I Love what I do. I want to continue creating & dreaming up magical designs for your special princess, her friends & anyone you know that deserves a special gift.
If you have ideas.... share them with me. I would love to help you dream up a wonderful gift for someone you want to impress or make feel special. Special words, sweet sentiments or famous poems can be added to any piece I create. Just let me know.


So for now, please enjoy my pictures of what I do & those in wich inpsire me.


Enjoy ~

This is my "Sweet Cherub" hook in iced lilac.
Painted the softest lilac & hints of gold, whitewashed for a dreamy effect on a distressed/salvaged board (perhaps from an old cottage in the picturesque town of Provence.)







A bouquet of lavender hued flowers & painted berries & bits of sparkles from crystal & glass glitter adorn this piece. Simply charming & oh so sweet!

Isn't it great to be a girl........this costume is super sugary frou frou girly girl sweet! Her princess is as cute as you can get!

super sweetness!

Such a charming & rich costume. Just beautiful. Take a peak into this talented moms store on ebay. So creative & filled with lots of details & magic.I got oodles of inspiration from all her designs. Now what shall I create? I'd LOVE to make a little pedistal keepsake box in these BOLD colors. But who would buy it? ORANGE is a strong color. Maybe for Halloween a magical pumpkin treasure box. For the more Posh Mom who loves to decorate for Halloween but in a more Posh look? because you know... i would have to add my yummy details, gold dusted powder, a little crystal here a rhinestone there & you know... all the sparkle the posh Princess uses to decorate... not your typical halloween decorations. You know the one whom likes to stand out among the rest. If you know her... send her my way. : )

Note from Cheri:This cookie design is a creation of my friends Mary Ann Ross and Kimberly Lainson, the party divas at ThePartyWorks.com.

*If I get extra time & a little help from My sweet princess, I'll even put a little black bowtie at his neck & use a long cookie/candy stick (whatever you call them)

I'll just do Frankenstine, but I thought the Frankie bride was cute too.

I think these will be cute to have at the "HARVEST HAPPENING".....not like I have extra time to make complicated cookies, but I think with help from my sweet princess, this is not as complicated as it looks. well, time consuming. I know its not complicated, but BAKING is for me lately.
If i do these, i'll post them & the pail I paint if i get time.

wish me luck!

I just came across this site Looking for Halloween cookies to make for my daughters "HARVEST HAPPENING" sweet shop at school.
So many creative recipes & creepy looking cookies..I want to make them all. But I think I'll stick to just 2 or 3 & possibly paint a cute pail to put them in & her teacher can keep the pail for herself after.

I'll make sure to wrap them in celephane (orange) & maybe make whatever cookie I decide to do ~ I'll make extra large & put it on a stick to make it fun for the children.Plus they'll make my "pail/bucket" look fun....

*Click on the link for the recipe & for other recipes.

Cheri Sicard ~ editor of this wonderful site http://www.fabulousfoods.com/recipes/dessert/cookies/fingers.html had this to say:
This cool idea for delicious but creepy Halloween cookies that really look like fingers, comes to us from Jenny Wanderscheid, editor of Childfun.com, where you can visit year round for great kids crafts and activities.
If you want to make toes instead of fingers, shape your cookies a little shorter and fatter and leave off the red coloring on the almond "nail."
Politcally Correct Finger CookiesReader Connie Johnson sent this wonderful story, with a terrific idea for diversifying these cookies:"I just read the Halloween section of the newsletter and thought I would share a story with you. I am a volunteer with Junior Achievement and was presenting the Business Basics Program to a Grade 6 class. It was close to Halloween, so I made Witch's Fingers for the class. I handed them out and one of my Asian students came to me and said, 'Ms. Johnson, did you know if you put chocolate in the cookies, you could make brown ones too?' The teacher and I had a great laugh and I thanked the student for his tip. I haven't tried it yet but plan to make these 'politically correct' cookies this year by adding cocoa to the recipe."

Comming Soon...

Im working on my web site with a web designer from Florida. She is such a sweetie pie & very patient with me. I have so many projects going on at once & my girls keep me busy. Not to mention... My 8 month baby is starting to walk & that alone is very demanding!!!
For now I have my Web address linked to my "ETSY" site. I have just a few things on there right now. Once my site is up & running it will switch over to the OFFICIAL site & my ETSY site will be linked from there.
Im having hacker problems, viruses etc... so it is really frustrating trying to get things online with everything I have going on.
So im taking it one day at a time & hoping Things will come together real quick!

ok.... Im off again to dream & get more yummy ideas to create something more magical & delicious for little girls. oh.... I do design for little boys too, but I have just been focusing on girls
since I have 5 of them. Its just so much more fun yet i would love to be challenged & create a line for boys.... Any ideas????

BONNE NUIT ~

THINK PRETTY ~ THINK POSITIVE!

Think Pretty. Think Positive. Just think good thoughts & DREAM.

That's what Im going to focus on right now.

I love to talk. I love to share ideas & designs tips and all that. I figured doing this little blog would be so easy. WOW! was I wrong. I can't even find time to come here & Let all my ideas & thoughts out. What I find so easy for me to do.... has become challenging. I do know though that it is neccessary for me to use this "BLOG" tool as much as I can for my own good.It has become such an important tool for those selling thier goods, services & points etc... It is such an easy & cheap(no cost as of yet??) form of advertisment & marketing tool. Everyone does it yet so many I speak to, don't know about it. So there is soo much to learn, so much to do & so much to share.

Im glad i finally found about it. I only wish that I didn'thave so much drama in my life right now.

I owe soooo many of you words of my absence & lack of participation, & emails & messages etc... Im only hoping I can reach more of you through this blog at once than trying to find the time to get to each one of you.

well..... as ususal.... I can not finish this right now, im off to pick up one of my girls. & precious baby is crying for my attention.

soooo instead of finishing this later & taking the chance you'll never see it, Im sending this bit of rambelings for now.

I will be back & hope to get back into the swing of things.

i soooooo miss so many of you wonderful & talented souls.

I need inspiration & will be looking to all your wonderful blogs for lots of it.

Thank you & big hugs & kisses to you all!

Joelle xoxo

My MIND IS ON OVERDRIVE!!!!

Well...... I really don't know where to begin.

Im having a real big problem with a hacker!

I LOVE being a girl. I Love all My girls. Being a GIRL has come along way. For awhile, women were afraid to show their feminine side. it shown a weakness in a "man's" world.Women felt the need to show their "stronger" side by being less womanly, feminine.
Those were the ones trying to find their way in the "working" world.

God only knows why?

WOW! what were YOU all thinking?
WE were made to be a female, so therefor, we are feminine by nature. Some more than others.

Ok... some not at all. BUT..... you still are a women. Embrace that! USE what YOU got. Im so proud to be a girl! Im proud of those that turned that "manly" crap around & are showing us all that is is GREAT to be a women/girl & YOU can get whatever you want by being YOU!

GO GIRLS!!!

Im not against any of you that choose for your own personal reasons for going the less Girly path.... & we aren't all girly & thats a good thing. We need variety. I also like to see the POWERSUIT on a women.

But for me.... I have 5 girls. I LOVE being a girl! I love being strong, powerful & stubborn. Im not afraid to show my femine side & im old fashioned at heart! I LOVE manners. I LOVE men opening a door for a women. I love when MEN stand when you walk into a room. I LOVE when men treat you with respect & use proper etiquet'.

I LOVE IT!

Frankly.... I believe men do too. We just happen to be in a diff. era, & I think men became confused.

well.... for being so old fashioned at heart, & loving the MAN being in charge (haha yea right, im sooo the one with the final say!!!!) but you know... Let him do his thing.

I want to be the next GIRL making her millions too, doing what I love. Marketing myself & rolling with all the big boys in business!! but...... I totally believe I can do it all without wearing the "suit" & acting like a man.

I can be myself & be girly & wear PINK & Love it all!

THANK YOU WOMEN!!! ALL of YOU whom paved the path to success for us all.

No one would have ever thought of wearing PINK to a business meeting. Im glad the ones whom wore the suits, got it all out of the way. Believe me... I LOVE black! I have Black suits, but I can tell you.... Im going to look gosh darn sexy in it. & be girly & strong.

So be it PINK, Black, Girly or not... im glad we have the chance to do what we are all doing now.

I LOVE seeing all of you in business succeeding, watching the next girl getting her break & chatting amongest you all stuggeling like me. Im here for you too & im glad we have this forum & all the others & those wonderful "women helping women & mommies sites too".

gosh almighty... I have no idea why I chose to say all that after looking at these girly girl pictures of "Pink petticoats" & "charming sweet dresses & outfits" by some successful girl designers???

But I got it out & im glad I did! so enjoy some of these yummy, sweet & charming designs. I love them all. Not only do they make me want to buy them for all my girls... They inspire me to create charming little tresors for little ones. ENJOY!!!

I LOVE being a Girl! I LOVE My girls!

I LOVE creating ALL THINGS PRETTY!

I LOVE ALL YOU INSPIRING WONDERFUL GIRLS!!! THINK PINK!

DREAM WITH YOUR EYES WIDE OPEN! ~

Enjoy this wonderful designers pretty things. Let your children be little girls & enjoy being little & playfull. youthful. Fun, Happy & frilly. doesn't mean they can't play in the Mudd & play football. just look prettier! LOVE IT!
