Today I am going to keep it short and sweet. I am exhausted beyond belief. I have had too much work and family responsibilities to take care of this week. My body has crashed. I have been on no sleep for 24 hours and am dead tired. Because of this, I have changed the schedule for posting and will post the countdown to Christmas chocolate box on Monday. This change in schedule will allow me to get caught up this weekend with Dasher Planner orders, club orders, and tons of emails to answer. I am never behind on taking care of planner orders, but this week has been out of control. If you have not received my planner yet, please accept my apologies. I am sending them out as fast as I can as this is a job only I can do. As planner orders continue to pick up, I will set up an automated service that will take care of all the sending for me, but for now it is me and I AM exhausted. As a way to thank you for your patience and understanding, those of you who have already placed an order and are waiting will receive my Dazzling Purse-o-Nality Planner for FREE.
Today I want to share this dazzling box we created at our club last night. This Holiday Lounge Designer Series Paper is gorgeous and I love the Circle Designer Brads that are on sale topped with a beautiful rhinestone. This adds such a dazzling l look and you can choose whatever rhinestone color to place on top of the designer brad to match your creation.
We also made a matching gift to place inside this box, I will share it with you tomorrow Saturday, October 24th so make sure to come back. Look at the little uncased rhinestones I added on the trees of the designer series paper. This box is gorgeous and perfect for those special holiday gifts. Make sure to stop in both Saturday and Sunday for more great ideas.
My 50/50 Board is filling up quickly so if you would like your name on this board place a $50 or more (net order). For every $50 (net) you spend, you will be entered for a chance to win a $50 gift certificate. To place an online order with me all you have to do is click on the Order Online Button on the upper right hand corner of my blog and it will take you to my online store.
Don't forget the Sale of the Week ends on Monday, October 26th at 9:50 a.m.(mountain time).
Don't forget you have until midnight tonight to enter into this week's contest.
I have lots of planners to send out, email requests to answer so please be patient with me. Everybody will have their planners before the weekend is over. Thanks again for your patience and understanding.
Have a dazzling weekend!
So pretty--love the bling!
Hope you can get some rest this weekend.

OMG! I have been sitting on the fence whether or not it's worth my buying the hinged nugget boxes. Well after seeing your lovely creations, i just fell off that fence and ordered 72 of them!!! I don't care if these don't sell at my craft fair because I will be so proud to give them as gifts to my kids teachers and my dh coworkers. You are so creative and inspirational Monica! Thanks, Maria

Oh what a pretty box. I too love this DSP. Not traditional colors, but really pretty. Love what you have as filling in your box, please do share what it is. I would like to get some. I plan on making this box. Do you have directions? What box die did you use? The top is so pretty with the scalloped edge, and love the bling. I hope you are able to slow yourself down a bit and get some much needed rest. I have been there and done that, and I can share in your frustration at this moment. This too shall pass, but you need rest and sleep. Go get it, things will still be there when you wake up. We will all wait, I am sure one day will not make a difference to any of us. You will get yourself so run down that you will get sick and then you will be no good to any of us. Please Monica, get some sleep! I do think of you often and how much you have on your plate. I wonder to myself how do you do it all? Now I see, but this is not the way to get things accomplished. I know that I will wait for my Planner. Go and Take care of Yourself, so that you can continue to shower us with your wonderful idea's and creations. I'll say a prayer or two for you, may you be blessed at this stressful time in your life.
