Adorn Your Story

So I can't believe we're already into October! Fall is here and today just happens to be amazing boots/sweater/scarf weather and I'm SO ready! But you know what it means when October rolls around... the holidays are just around the corner... and so the madness begins :).

Most of you know that I've been a full-time stay-at-home-mama for a while now. But what you may not know is that I've got a little side business to help support my wonderful family :) {you do what you gotta do when you have 25 kids & counting lol} I recently started as an Independent Designer with a custom jewelry company called Origami Owl... it's custom because you create a personalized locket by choosing all the charms and other pizazz items to represent you or the person you're creating it for.

So, with the holidays around the corner, here's an FYI about my website in case you were interested in making a custom creation to take care of some of the ladies on your gift lists. {By the way, in case you were wondering - I don't make the products, I just sell them. :)} We just rolled out our new Fall line this week so we've got a bunch of new, very lovely items available :) I've included some pics of ideas for the lockets, but i think the beauty and fun is in creating one that is unique, personalized and from the heart.

here's my site :) adornyourstory.origamiowl.com

and if you have any questions or you want to see some of the jewelry in person, feel free to email me :)
love&blessings,

Love & Motivation

Mama's Walk is about a week away! 
 
DID YOU KNOW?
  • No Registration Fee! (This is rarely the case).  Some walks charge up to $50 just to participate, but this one is FREE!
  • You can join the walk as a Virtual Walker -  "  This means family and friends that are unable to be there for WHATEVER reason can still help us look like a full team by being there in virtual spirit!  So tell your friends of friends of friends to register under Team Mama at http://act.alz.org/site/TR?team_id=173943&fr_id=3262&pg=team.
  • Sign up, show up and relax! Team members can choose to stay behind or walk a shorter distance.  There will be booths offering free coffee, goodie bags, snacks, bottled water and fruit.  Bring a big bag and stock up!
  • Donating is preferred, but NOT required.  So not only can you join the walk for free, but you do not have to put in any money to be there! (This is also unheard of since the whole point of these events are to raise funds).  However, you can raise awareness simply by showing up)! 
  • Donate a small amount.  Though it states $35.00 as a minimum, you can change the amount to something more affordable for you AND you can donate anonymously if you do not want your name to appear on the donation list. I say, $5 is $5 and it still counts so let people know you're supporting an awesome cause!
Whew!  Bottom line, it's not about why you should be a part of this.  It's why you shouldn't!  Though we know life can get in the way, all these great options above makes it literally impossible for it to get in the way of your participation!  Heck, if you need help please email me at myrnelledizon@yahoo.com and I'll do it for you!  Let's make this 6th year even more awesome!
 
Thank you!
 
With love and a great deal of MOTIVATION,
 
Myrnelle
