Sorry everyone. It's been a bad week.

I planned on writing some more stuff on here, but it's been a terrible past week. This IS a pity party right now & if you would like to leave, now is the time to do so. I just have to get this out of my system.

My husband lost his job a few weeks back, I was writing these to promote my business, but honestly it doesn't seem like anyone is interested. I've been working with him on days that we can afford for someone to watch Lane, but now I'm right back at home stuck with Lane because I can't afford to have a babysitter (honestly, I had to borrow money for the last day he was watched). I'm a bit down in the dumps & just don't feel up to doing this. I will not not be writing these posts anymore. Thank you for those of you who did read, but it's just not worth the hours it takes to make it happen when I'm paying for a site 2 times a month that brings zero customers for the past 2+ years. I honestly just can't afford it. I put my best foot forward, but it's just a HORRIBLE recession & nothing seems to have worked for the past 2+ years. I officially give up. Thanks for the past 2+ years Avon. It's been a drain on my lack of money & customers. Something tells me that I'll STILL continue to do this in hopes of my best friends mom's store coming to be in the next few months, but I won't have time to waist on trivial things such as this. If you need Avon I'll still have it online, but I can't afford to spin in circles for hours writing on the internet for nothing. Have a good day & thank you for letting me spill my sorry guts for the past 2 min. that it took you to read this.

Make it personal for your children this Christmas!

It's really special to a child when they see their name on a gift. In fact, what better way to teach my 3 year old to spell his name than to have it right on his own pajamas or chair. Your children can feel special this up coming season with items such as the Personalized Polar Bear PJ.

(Photos are distorted for Avon Representatives privacy. If you would like to see these without distortion let me know & I'll tell you how to become an Avon Rep. today!)
It's great for boys or girls & comes with 42 iron-on letters to create that personal touch. They are machine washable, made from polyester & are imported. Their sizes are: 4/5, 6/6X & 7/8. This two piece set will be $16.99.

Next in the personalization station is the ADORABLE Personalized Inflatable Chair.

This is a super cozy blow-up chair with 42 iron-on letters to give it some personalized love. They come in green with green trim or pink with green trim. A machine washable cover makes this chair easy to clean. There is not a pump included & is only for ages 3 & up. It's size is 25" in length by 27" wide by 23" high. They are made from polyester, plastic & are imported. The brochure price will be $39.99 each.

Last but not least is the personalized gift for that new addition to your family. The Baby's First Keepsake Ornament is a wonderful way to make that little one feel special later on when they look at that ornament each & every year that passes on the family's tree.

Write the baby's name, birthday & weight to make a lasting-memory for the whole family. The ornament is 2 3/4" long by 1 9/16" wide by 1" high. They come in pink or blue, are made from porcelain & are imported. They will cost $7.99 each.

Coming up tomorrow is the coolest way for boys & girls to keep out of the chill.

Need a mother/daughter day? Go back to the basics with these 4 fun items!

First of all, sorry that I've taken 2 days off from this. I haven't been feeling the best, but I'm back & ready to keep going. Now back to business...

Everyone loves their own stocking on Christmas Day! How about your own personalized cookie stocking? You can now make them with Avon's new Personalized Stocking Cake Pan.

You can personalize these stockings with our Decorating Pens & the 100-Piece Decorating Set (I personally own the 100-Piece set & it is AWESOME!) that Avon already sells. Both will be conveniently shown in the Campaign 22 brochure with the Personalized Stocking Cake Pan. This pan is heat-resistant up to 450 degrees F. & is dishwasher & microwave safe. It measures 13" long & 9 1/2" wide, is silicone & imported. The brochure price will be $9.99.

Our next bake-ware item is the Christmas Tree Cookie Forms.

These items are AWESOME because you can make a 3-D tree with graduated cookie cutters. They come with a storage bag & instruction sheet. They are plastic & should only be washed by hand. The measurements are approximately 2 1/4"W to 8 1/4"W X 1/2"H. They're a 10-piece set that's imported & will have an introductory special price of $4.99 unless you wait & then it will cost $7.99.

Now it's time for you & you're little girl to shine in the kitchen by wearing these ADORABLE Avon Exclusive Aprons.

They'll keep you clean while you make those personalized stockings & your 3-D cookie tree. The aprons are called the Candy Cane Hearts Aprons. They both have stitched belts with waist ties. The mother apron has a neck that ties & the daughter apron has a hook-and-loop tie. They are both one size fits most & polyester/cotton blend material. The mother apron is 31 1/4" long & 31" wide. The daughter apron is 22 1/2" long & 23" wide. Both are imported, machine washable & will cost $9.99 each. The daughter apron is only for ages 3 & up.

I actually have 1 more item that I forgot & didn't plan on mentioning. We'll just call it a "Bonus Item". ^_^ The Jingle Bell Spreaders are sure to give your holiday party a little classy twist on an item that's usually looked over.

They are a set of 4 beautiful stainless steel spreaders that jingle just like regular jingle bells. They're hand wash only, imported & are 6" long by 1" wide. They will cost $14.99.

Tomorrow's blog is all about personalized items to make your little one feel special. ^_^

Pancake wishes can make delicious dishes.

Today we have 3 items up on the menu.

The first one can be used for 2 different batches of food. It's the Pancake & Cupcake Batter Dispenser. This very easy to use item holds 4 cups of batter & places the perfect amount of batter for pancakes or cupcakes so that you don't dirty up a bunch of measuring cups or spoons. Just place in the top rack of your dishwasher when you're done & you're ready to go! This imported dispenser is made of plastic, silicone & nylon. It's 6 3/4" long, 7 1/4" tall & 4 1/2" wide.

Tomorrows items will be 2 can't miss baking items & 2 adorable "mother/daughter" matching aprons. Sooo VERY cute!!! ^_^

A Winter Wonderland from the comfort of your snow globe. ^_^

As I said yesterday this item is an Avon Exclusive. That means that you can ONLY get this item from Avon, which it really great because Avon is VERY collectible & sometimes worth a lot more than what you pay depending on the rarity of the item. This is one of those items considering that it's made of glass. This special item is called the Classic Claus Snow Globe.

It plays the Christmas classic, "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town." It's dated "2011" on the bottom. The height of the globe is 6" & it's 4" around. It includes the wind-up key & is made of glass, plastic, resin, glitter, water & metal. This item is imported & will be $19.99. Make sure to keep this item out of reach from children for safety purposes.

Mmmm, mmm, mmm...I can't wait for tomorrow's blog. It's all about pancakes. YEA!

Glitter & glitz for Christmas Day ritz!

Now this is something that I personally must have! I don't know about you, but glass art, such as this, has always spoke to me. Something about crystal blown-glass just makes you feel fancy & sophisticated. The Glistening Crystal Tree with Ornaments is sure to bring a special sparkle to your home.

This handcrafted tree has blown-glass crystal branches, a gold metallic star & a mirrored base. These hand-painted gift boxes are accented with adorable details. Best of all you can display the boxes by hanging them on the tree & then remove them for convenient storage. The tree is 6 1/8" tall & 3 1/9" around. It is imported & will have an introductory price of $14.99. Don't wait because the price will be $19.99 if you do. Please remember that this is a decorative item ONLY. Don't forget to keep it a safe distance from the precious children in your life. ^_^

If you know a snow globe collector or you are one yourself, you will not want to miss tomorrows Avon Exclusive!

Clothes for wine? Yep, that's what I had said. LOL

The dress-up party doesn't end there...how about these adorable Holiday Coasters?
