Personalized Creations Bangles Beads Bows

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of NMEDA. All opinions are 100% mine.

I know I am getting older and I am noticing I am looking into more and more of things that might happen to me as I age more. I have recently gone over the half century mark in age and the idea of needing a wheelchair maybe in the near future.

And then I see the prices of special equipment for the elderly and those who can’t get around and I wonder how would I be able to do this on my retirement and my budget.

When my father wasn’t able to get around before he passed away, it was hard for him to get around and I wish we had had NMEDA to help us find a solution.  NMEDA is is a non-profit trade  association of mobility equipment dealers, driver rehabilitation specialists, and other professionals dedicated to broadening the opportunities for people with disabilities to drive or be transported in vehicles modified with mobility equipment. They don’t sell anything, they just want to make sure people with disabilities have the highest quality of items.  Not every disability is the same, and NMEDA knows that.

The Quality Assurance Program  was developed to promote quality, safety, and reliability within the industry and some states require dealers to participate in this program.

If you are needing any assistance in this area, please go to their website and click on the locate area to see where a dealer is in your area.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hampton Hotels. All opinions are 100% mine.

I love staying in a hotel and having fun, not making up my bed and eating out.

But, how about winning a whole hotel for the weekend!! Hampton Hotel is having a Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes where you can win 100 rooms for an entire weekend and think of all the family and friends you could have all together for a wonderful weekend of making memories, catching up and just enjoying the great company.  Can you imagine all your friends and family meeting in the mountains, the beach or any where were you can enjoy the activities around, fine dining, maybe some golf.  And on top of that, the grand prize winner also receive $5000 to help pay the tax for the weekend!  What a prize to work for.

I would love this right now to spend a great weekend with my brother and his family, all his friends and co-workers and extended family.  He will be deployed next year and what a great way to spend time with him and the other who will be going with him.

The sweepstakes is open to everyone, not just those that are Hilton Honors members or those that have previously stayed at a Hampton.

Call your friends, family, neighbors, etc. and let them know about the Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes and let them know that if they all enter, they could all be spending a wonderful weekend together in their own hotel

What a hot, hot week we had with virtually no rain.  Things are starting to burn up around here.  Even though we have sprinklers and watering the pots, they need cooler temps and RAIN!!

We had a great cactus presentation at our monthly Garden Club meeting and I came home with a baby cactus of my own.

I used Sweet & Simple 7 and templates by Weeds and Wildflowers.

I hope everyone has a great week,

I am so proud of this review done by Simply Stacie and don’t forget to sign up for the giveaway.

My daughter was born bald and stayed that way for a long time. When she finally grew hair, I became obsessed with hair bows. I have had the opportunity over the last two years to purchase a lot of hair bows so I am a good judge of a quality bow. Too many times, bows would come apart, fray or separate from the clip within just a few uses. I was excited to have the opportunity to review a bow from Personalized Creations.

As soon as I opened the box and examined the monogrammed bow, it was obvious that there is a lot of care put into crafting these bows. My daughter took one look at the pretty pink monogrammed bow and exclaimed ““H” is for Hannah”. She insisted on modeling it immediately and has worn it numerous times over the past two weeks. It looks just as good now as it did for her first us which reinforces my opinion that these are quality made bows. I plan to stock up on these cute hair bows for my daughter’s first week at home school co-op classes. There is a great assortment of bows starting at $2.00 and up and something for every budget.

I also liked the easy shopping set up at Personalized Creations which has a good selection of bangles, beads and bows. I got really excited when I saw the Mother’s bracelets because I have had my eye on these for quite some time and was able to subtly (o.k. maybe not so subtly since I made him look at the web page) hint to my husband that this would make a fantastic holiday gift.

*I was not financially compensated for this post. I received a sample of the product for review purposes. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience.*

I have a business that is growing and I’ve been asked many times if I accept credit cards. It’s getting to be an inconvenience to my customers to not use their cards in my shopping cart.

So, I started doing some research for a Merchant Processing company and have found one in Bluepay.com. They have services for all kinds of businesses. Not just e commerce, but also for brick and mortar companies.  Their services are safe and secure for your customers information and transactions.

I know this will increase sales and profits by providing our customers the convenience and flexibility of placing orders on my website with the payment method of their choice.

What a busy week this was.

Glenn got his new glasses and he is so proud he did. He now says he can see in “HD” vision. His other glasses were so old, he couldn’t see down the road. Now he can read all the signs while he is driving.

My Kindle came in and I love it!! I use it everyday and am enjoying reading so much more now that I can change the font size to a larger size. I love they have free books to read and I haven’t purchased one yet.

I helped some ladies from the Garden Club to plant 3 new trees at the Community Center and I love how the pots are at their beauty near the swimming pool.

I used Sweet and Simple #7 from Weeds and Wildflowers.  These kits are so easy to use and you can also purchase the already made templates and all you have to do is insert your pictures.  So easy to use and you can find them here.

I hope everyone has a great week,
