I was so excited when I was contacted by Sallisha of LaunchHer to be featured on their site! I had submitted my company just a few hours before, but she was contacting me because someone else had reached out to her and told her all about me! I was tickled <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ff3899;"><i>pink</i></span> at how much my special friend believed in me and my company! It was truly an honor to be featured!<br />
I love the concept behind LaunchHer, a site that gives a boost to woman owned brands! Thank you Sallisha and Kara for all that you do for woman like me, everywhere! <br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia;">I, Lisa Hill of Lehla Shop, pledge to participate in the Etsy Success Holiday Boot Camp to the best of my abilities. I vow to check in every week, do my homework and support my fellow Holiday Boot Campers. I will read the weekly newsletters and blog posts, check in on the weekly forum thread, read the weekly blog post, check off the checklists and salute the mascot. I promise to share what I've learned with those who need it, support my fellow Etsy indiepreneurs and, most of all, have a positive and persistent attitude. I understand that together we can spread the word about our handmade and vintage goods, making this holiday season a more unique and meaningful one to gift givers and give-ees everywhere! </span></span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia;">Depending on the widths of your ribbon, you can fit 2 or 3on each tag. Ribbons will hang side-by-side. The standard tags are a little over an inch wide, so a 5/8" ribbon and a 3/8" ribbon fit comfortably side-by-side. A JUMBO tag is 2" wide, so you can fit up to 2" of ribbon side-by-side.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia;"><br />
</span> </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia;">You even get these little inventory dots! If you have a super-long length of ribbon, it is recommended that you cut off a manageable piece, i.e. cut 1 yard. Then, affix the inventory dot to the corner of the ribbon tag. This acts as a reminder that you have more of that ribbon when you have used up that piece.</span><br />

<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 20px;">A little background… In 2009, she toured the scrapbook convention circuit with Ribbon Ring. She decorated her booth with platters of <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ff3899;">ribbon cupcakes</span></strong>. She happened upon these cupcakes one night while she was playing around with her other passion, baking! As she was making chocolate ribbon curls for some cupcakes she realized that she had some ribbon that was the perfect color of chocolate! The rest is history…Ribbon cupcake love. At the conventions, the <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ff3899;">ribbon cupcakes</span></strong> stole every show. Then she created some ribbon truffles to go with them. Soon after she was overwhelmed with requests for instructions on how to make these sweet treats. So she partnered up with Leisure Arts publishing and soon after "Ribbon Cupcakes and More" was born.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 20px;">In addition to her famous ribbon cupcakes, there are step-by-step instructions for making truffles, cakes, Halloween projects, baby shower and wedding décor items and a ton of other super stinking cute goodies that will make you smile.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 20px;"><br />

Is it the amazing man you may have married? The child/children you have brought into this world? Your work? Or maybe you have a pet project you have been diligently working on that you know will eventually bring joy to you someday.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For me it's all of the above! Recently, I realized that I needed to stop and take a look around me. To see what I had right in front of me. I married my soulmate and my hero. I gave birth to the most amazing little girl, born 7-7-07, (the luckiest day there could ever be). I work at a church where I can proudly say I have made some very good friends, whom, I can also admit, I consider to be family. My work in progress...well that would be my home-based, online company I started, Lehla Shop. Everyday, I challenge myself to try new things, perfect items and strive to make good products I know will put a smile on a child's face. All of these things were staring right at me. I just needed to realize it.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I can reflect back on times when my life wasn't exactly "joyous". My first marriage didn't quite work. I didn't have too many people I could honestly call "friends". And I worked a full time job, clocking in at least 9 hours a day. Everything was so faced paced (that's NJ for ya!).</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So, I got a divorce, met my new husband, had my daughter, quite my job and moved to Louisiana! Whew! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now I work part-time at the church and at home for my shop. I am constantly online trying to publicize Lehla Shop as much as possible. My goal is to</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> one day have my products </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">on the shelves of other stores. And who knows...maybe even </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">own my own "brick and mortar" shop and have my products on my OWN shelves! That would be ULTIMATE joy!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I want my daughter to grow up and know that dreams can come true, if you work hard enough to make them happen.

<div style="font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">The Silhouette hooks up to your computer and cuts out the shapes/letters that you tell it to. It's THAT easy! So all you need is your <b>Silhouette machine</b>, your <b>computer</b>, the<b>cords</b> and your <span style="font-weight: bold;">imagination</span>! You can even use an SD card and take your Silhouette wherever you go!<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">It comes with a nice library of shape and cutout files to get you started! And, what I LOVE is, you can use all of the letter fonts (True Type) from your own computer, to design your own cut outs. Hello!!! <span style="font-weight: bold;">I can choose ANY font I want</span>? Do you know how many FREE fonts there are out there?!! You can even create your own shapes and cutouts for your projects!!--I LOVE that!<br />
<br />
No cartridges to buy!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">They do have an online image store, where you can browse and purchase from a huge assortment of different shapes, letters, phrases, cutouts, etc......and upload them instantly to your computer. The images are just $.99 each and they offer membership plans and options for bulk-buying where they can cost even less than this. Each week, they also feature <span style="font-weight: bold;">a free download on their site</span> that you can add to your library.

The flower that is connected to the tutu is actually a bow with an alligator clip attached. While my daughter was running around I left it on the tutu since she was more excited about the hat at that moment. The hat is a really cute addition and definitely a favorite! The skirt is of course my little girls favorite. My oldest tried it on and you would have thought she stole it away! Very cute! I love the frayed edges around the bow. It gives it that nice edgy look! The sewing is great and after having washed it I had no fraying on the stitching at all! I honestly could not be more pleased with her design! </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“A gift should represent an individual expression of you </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">and</span></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> the recipient. Know your audience and approach every present as evidence of your thoughtfulness, creativity and talent. If you pay attention to your day-to-day conversations with friends and family, they will divulge information about what they like and need. This is the first step in finding the perfect present.”</span><sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1</span></sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoBodyText"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hollywood’s biggest celebrities have given and received gifts chosen by Lash Fary, founder of Distinctive Assets and author of “Fabulous Gifts”. Considered Hollywood’s Gift Guru, he provides some unique tips and gifting wisdom in his book. Together with his advice and some additional research, I have compiled some basics for you that will quickly have you on your way to finding that perfect gift!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">1. Purpose</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Presents should serve a purpose, and there can be many. Think about how the present will impact or enhance the recipient’s life. . Maybe it’s an item they have put off buying for themselves or one that’s whimsical and just makes them laugh or remember a personal event. Make a list of what that person does habitually and then brainstorm on how you can provide a match. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">2. Listening</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Pay attention to your everyday conversations with friends and family. Almost always, someone will provide you with useful information about what they like and need. Perhaps they told you about a movie they just saw that they enjoyed…consider buying them a DVD when it comes out. If you are still stuck for ideas, consider talking to their friends or family. Most people love to help and will point you in the right direction. As a tried but true last resort, you can always ask the recipient for ideas and although this may spoil the surprise, it will ensure they receive that much wanted gift.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">3. Gift Registry</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">These days a gift registry isn’t just for brides and grooms or baby showers. Take advantage of creating a gift registry or a wish list that you can share with family, friends and loved ones for other occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries. It’s an intuitive way to provide great gift suggestions and it takes the pressure off the giver. Consider keeping a registry at one or two of your favorite stores. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">4. All year long</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Keep your eyes and ears open all year long. If you find something on sale that you think would make a great gift for someone in your life, follow your instincts and </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Buy it! Wrap it! Tag it! </span></b><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If you think to yourself “that would be perfect for so and so”, chances are it will. Too often we see something we like, don’t purchase it right away and regret that we didn’t pick it up when it’s gone or no longer on sale. Don’t forget to stock up on cards too. Remembering to present someone with a thoughtful card can often be gift enough.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br clear="ALL" style="mso-special-character: line-break; page-break-before: always;" /></span> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">5. The “Don’ts”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Unless the recipient loves to cook, there is nothing romantic about appliances. Thus, if it hasn’t been requested, never buy one as a gift. Also, refrain from giving someone a gift labeled “charitable donation has been made in your name”. It will only be meaningful to them if it was something they specified! Finally, when shopping for someone, keep in mind you are shopping for them and not yourself. While you may be tempted, don’t necessarily buy what you like, but what they will like. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">6. Bottom Line</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Always consider setting a budget. The price tag isn’t as important as the time you took to choose something thoughtful, interesting and special. There are many small gifts that with the proper presentation will serve your intentions perfectly. Of course there may be occasions that splurging may be essential! </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Buy Appétit! <o:p></o:p></span></i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I suppose all that matters is that I am actually starting!<br />
So, day 1 challenge is to write an elevator pitch...As you can see I have described my blog as being about me...life...and my thoughts about everything! In a nutshell, that's my way of talking about what happens all around each and every one of us! <br />
I have also changed the layout of my blog...Since this is about ME writing, I thought the little girl was perfect! (and she looks almost exactly like me...just add 30+ years!)<br />
So...wish me luck on the next 30 days of this challenge! I am hoping it will increase my writing capabilities and broaden my knowledge of blogging. The internet is our future...social media is the tool to share and discuss basically everything about everyone! Online publications to be shared openly and freely.<br />
I only hope my ideas, my creativity and my writing skills is enough to keep my readers entertained so they keep coming back for more.<br />
And hopefully this challenge will enable me to do just that! So...check back and watch as I "grow" during this 31 day challenge!<br />
xoxo<br />
Lisa<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Didot; font-size: medium;"></span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Didot; font-size: medium;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">What is it about a cupcake that seems to draw out our inner child? Is it their small size? Their portability? Or maybe it’s the seemingly endless flavor options that are now available to us! We all grew up with cupcakes, but in recent years the cupcakes from our youth have been transformed into edible works of art. The “Cupcake Craze” has created standalone bakeries that specialize in gourmet cupcakes. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">I recently had the great pleasure to meet with three entrepreneurs and find out more about the local “Cupcakeries” that have been popping up all around us. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">It begins with Buttercups, owned and operated by Kim Wood. She had been creating her cupcakes for locals for over three years and even gained national notoriety when Katie Holmes purchased them through a local store. But in November of 2009, she decided to truly make a name for herself and opened Buttercups at the Villagio in Bossier City. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">She described to me how seeing the ingredients come together to develop such edible creations is what ignites her passion for baking. All of the cupcakes are made with her own original recipes. Small batches of cakes are made throughout the day, so you know that you are getting a fresh cupcake at time of purchase. Her most popular flavors are Red Velvet and Wedding Cake. Yum! She even takes it one step further and uses only recycled products for her boxes and wax paper. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Something else that caught my eye was the first impression you get when you walk through the doors. From the lavender walls to the café tables…even the fresh flowers she puts out daily. She explained that she wanted a contemporary/industrial look and if you ask me, I would say everything she did works! I was even excited to see that she started selling Buttercup t-shirts! <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">In addition to her Villagio location, Shreveport locals will soon be graced when her second store opens up at the Shoppes at Bellemeade in August 2010! Buttercups is open 6 days a week and offers 16 different flavors (check her menu for daily flavor options). You can learn more about Buttercups by joining their Facebook Fan page! <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Next I visited Cupcake Gallery on Youree Dr. in Shreveport. I had the great pleasure of speaking with Amanda. Cupcake Gallery is family owned with a few extra employees. Their story began when her mom had been making cupcakes out of her home. Soon, word of her cupcakes had gotten around and the opportunity of a shop fell into their hands. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">All of their cupcakes are made fresh daily and offer 16 different flavors (check their menu for daily flavor options). Their most popular flavors are Lime in Coconut, 24 Karat Cake and German Chocolate, which is an age old family recipe! I was very curious as to what happened to any daily leftovers and was nicely surprised to learn that they donate them to local hospitals and prisons. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">As you come up on the store, you are greeted with an amazing outdoor patio with wrought iron tables and chairs. They even have seating for the little ones! The interior has a more modern look with Red and Black. They even have an enormous chalkboard wall for the kids to draw on! In addition to the array of cupcakes they have a coffee/espresso bar. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><br />

You can learn more about them by visiting their Website at www.cupcakegallery.org and by joining their Facebook Fan Page. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Third on my list was Diva Delights, LLC. While the other shops already have a storefront, Diva Delights is still in the beginning stages of establishing their footprint. I was delighted to have had the opportunity to speak with Judith Sammons. Her story truly touched my heart. When I asked her where her inspiration came from, the words and her story just rolled off her tongue. Seventeen months ago, Judith gave birth to her second daughter, Lexi, who was born 5 months early. I learned that Lexi is a special needs child. That meant that Judith needed to stay at home to provide support for Lexi and her family. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">While Judith has always been artistic, baking was a definite passion of hers. Quite often her family advised her that she needed to turn that passion into a living. She had an extreme love of cupcakes so that was where she began. She started a Facebook Fan page and automatically received a great response. Then as fate would have it, she was approached by a longtime friend who made boutique bows. The idea was that they would combine their talents into a one stop shop. That was when they created Diva Delights, LLC. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Diva Delights not only offers custom cupcakes and cakes, it also offers a complete line of couture clothing, bows and jewelry. As I mentioned earlier, they are still in the beginning stages of creating a store front, so as of right now, the business is based out of their homes. At one point the opportunity for a store front had been presented, but as Judith explained, the timing just wasn’t right. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">While I felt the other bakeries concentrated more on their flavors, Diva Delights was more about the artistic presentation of their cupcakes. I was able to view some of her photos and was amazed at how detailed the designs of her cupcakes were. From little piggies to rosettes, everything you see on her cakes and cupcakes is edible. In addition to the detail on the cakes themselves, she feels that an order isn’t complete without her personally delivering and setting up. A nice gesture to help out any parent who is stressing over their child's party! <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><br />

She is a great supporter of The March of Dimes and quite often donates her proceeds right back to needing charities. You can follow Diva Delights by joining their Facebook Fan Page and by visiting their Website at www.divadelightsbakeryandboutique.com. All orders can be placed by contacting Diva Delights directly. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><br />

There was no doubt that I had to walk away from each interview with samples! And you will even be able to spot me around town sporting my own Buttercups t-shirt!</span><br />

Although it is quite late at night, this is me attempting to write on my blog! While the hubby is away, I tend to stay up super late!<br />
Last night aired the episode of Tori& Dean HSH that I have been waiting months for! Liam's 3rd birthday party. What was particularly important about this episode? Well, I had the greatest thing ever (so far) happen to me. Tori Spelling LOVED my SuperYou superhero shirts so much, she wanted them for Liam to wear for his birthday party. So, at her request, I made Liam a his own superhero shirt to wear...and of course I couldn't leave Stella out! So I made one for her too! At the time I sent them I had no idea they would be filmed for tv! I found out the night before his party! I was shocked to say the least.<br />
So, now, not only where my shirts filmed for tv...they were then photographed and featured in 3 magazines! Two issues of Us Weekly and the COVER of Star Magazine! Look at cute little Stella!<br />
<br />

Doesn't she look adorable! Now I know it was Liam's party, but who could you resist a cute girl!<br />
So, needless to say, after watching monday nights episode, I am on cloud 9. <br />
And in celebration of this new found exhilaration, I have decided to do a giveaway!<br />
<br />
