For all of you who love the awesome swim suits, Jeans, and clothing...
What more can I say...Stock up and Save!

www.modbeclothing.com/bevjones

I have stock piled at least 5 swim suits for myself, and 5 pair of jeans.
Any basic my size or one size off, kept those too.
I am hoping that maybe the Modbe line was sold to a retailer somewhere.
Really, what else am I going to do when it comes to jeans, swim and basics?

Happy Shopping! Email me if you need sizing consultation.

Mod Podge Mania...I can't resist

I hope no one faints...I'm going to post back to back. I saw this button on this blog and was forced to take a look. Anyone who knows me know I love Mod Podge, although I love calling it Modge Podge and have even (in a typ0) called it Modbe Podge. So I quickly gathered up a few years back of super easy projects using the crafty stuff and clicked away with the camera this a.m...

First off, the clipboard. I love putting these together to take to my Modbe Boutiques for orders. This particular year I added a flower and glass button which turned out to be a mistake since you can't really write with a big glass blob behind the order form, but it also acted like another catalog at my Boutiques.

In 2006 (Modbe's first year of swim) I made my first box to store swim liners for trying on swim bottoms at Modbe Boutiques. Each suit was numbered in the catalogs so customers could order by the number. #3 was the first suit sold out that year. It was the Olive Diagonal with the HOT yellow floral bottom. I still smile to look at that gorgeous fabric/color combo.

In 2007 I carried on the tradition but found a round box. These are just those simple brown paper mache boxes you can pick up at Wal-Mart, Roberts, Jo-Ann's, and even some dollar stores. This box is much bigger in order to fit a much large swim line.

So, in 2008, I "HAD" to make another box. With each year, Modbe's swim lines got even bigger so this box ended up showcasing just one color in each style of suit. I love the story of this "Trunk;" It's one of my favorites. I won the metal trunk/lunch box at a scrapbook store. It had been a display so it was a bit beaten up and decorated with travel stickers. Not really my style. While I loved the case, I knew it wouldn't be used to store post cards. I left on the straps and rearranged/added letters on the circle (It once said "Post cards) and of course mod podged on photos of Modbe's 2008 swim line from the catalog. It acts like an extra catalog at boutitques and stores business cards, change, liners, and pens.

And then last year....My friend Lara and I made thiese cuties. Basic wooden letters with scrap paper Mod Podged on, and ribbons, and tags, and buckles, and flowers. When I say that Modbe is my girly outlet I'm so not kidding. Boys don't really care too much for all the cute stuff in life. Although, my almost four year old was the inspiration for my next/last project.

I was at the computer getting some things ready to join him by the T.V. He found my bag with some paints and brushes and went running upstairs telling me he was going to go paint some wood.

I'm thinking to myself: "oh cute. he's going to get his watercolors..."

About 3 or 4 minutes later it occurs to me that the paints he's referring to are the craft paints with my stuff in there by the T.V.

I go BOOKING it up the strairs and find this board from the garage on a nicely laid out piece of newpaper and already totally brown. I am amazed that no clothes are ruined. I (of course) thank him for staying clean and remind him in my super calm mother voice that we always paint with mommy paints with Mommy!

Of course you can't throw away the board so as I use the excess paint to help him get the sides and back we think about what we can do. We go to the pictures and find a great family photo. The wording is from a recent primary song he is learning. The whole thing was done in less than 30 minutes. I have a feeling I'll be doing a few more of these with a group for Mother's day in the next month.

You can't tell me you don't already want someone to craft you up one for Mother's day, too!

Which Picture?

Family pictures are all about looking good, especially MOM--after all, I am the one who critics it the most. I put together a brown theme and thought it might to fun to be a bit different as I'm the only feminine one of the bunch...but now I'm thinking I just stand out too much.

What do you think?

I love the seating in this pictures but wonder if the adorable orange wrap sweater might just be a bit overbearing. I'm thinking enlarged on my entry wall, I might hate it.
Any thoughts here...I'd love some feedback.

It's a Party!

I had my first party with all of Modbe's great new things. My Hostess,

Davian W. has hosted several parties and was super excited to see all of the NEW clothing. She kept saying how she loved it all and was going to have a hard time deciding what to get. My guess is she works hard and gets a TON of sales to get everything she wants. If you're reading and want to add an order to Davian's party, type in party #362 at checkout. This one step saves you 10% on your order of three or more items. Anyway, I took a picture of the two of us back in April at her last party. While we have both had hair cuts since then, we were too busy taking pictures of our other willing model. Cute Kinsley (below) is modeling the Matching PJ set. FYI--size XS does fit a four year old.

Here is Miss Fashion one more time in the adorable Mini Vee.

This top is available online only for just $10. Every girl needs one of these.

I love that it comes in navy and white for school uniforms.

Speaking of Navy, here is another Fashion Diva I recently had the chance to hang out with for the morning. She had on her favorite jumper (which is a bit too large). It was breezy outside and the straps kept sliding off her shoulders.

It looked so cute, I grabbed by camera while we were playing outside. What a fun morning--we sang the ABC song about a million times.

After the party, I changed out of my Juliette Cut Offs and rode home in fashion in my own red and pink PJ pants. So soft and comfy, I might just have to get both colors...especially since the blue and brown would be such a cute picture of my five boys with me. I'll have to post that when it happens.
