abc - 123 - baby - you - and - me

123..Baby You and Me Posted by christabellescloset on April 30, 2009

The Alphabet Ain’t Just for Soup and Cereal…by Christabelle With a summer of weddings, baby showers, Bat Mitzvahs and graduations ahead of me…I went on a hunt for fabulous, affordable and memorable gift ideas. Weeding through website after website, on-line guides and magazine articles, finally a bright light shone down from the gift giving gods and offered me this… With a mantra of “Spreading Your Love One Letter At A Time”, Simag Jewelry fits the bill for all of your gift giving. Created by Sima Gilady out of Boulder, CO, she has single handedly built an alphabet empire (both in English and Hebrew) by styling coveted pieces for budget-friendly prices. Can you offer a new mom a more beautiful treasure than a necklace bearing the name or initial of her bundle of joy? What new bride wouldn’t adore a necklace with her and her new husband’s initials separated by a heart? Got a fab grad in mind who would simply go nuts for a charm necklace with her year of graduation? Well, Simag Jewelry can get it done for you – made to order and one-of-a-kind.

With over 120 different hand-stamped variations in both sterling silver and gold, you can check mark everyone off your list this summer (including a nice little gift for yourself). I even got one for me and my beau (see left)…THANKS SIMA!

You can’t go wrong with a personalized gift of love – made with love – by Simag Jewelry. Prices range from $25 up through $175 – but most hover in the $30 – $40 category. A true bargain for the craft(wo)manship and care that are put into each stunning piece.

This is how a necklace BORN

" H E R - W I N G S "

I created "HER WINGS" necklace after I was listening to:'I Believe I Can Fly' By – R. Kelly

If I can see it, then I can do it

If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

I believe I can fly

I believe I can touch the sky

I think about it every night and day

Spread my wings and fly away

I believe I can soar

I see me running through that open door

I believe I can fly

I believe I can fly

I believe I can fly

I got inspired by the words of the song and that's how a necklace is born.

The OPAL represent the SKY.

made with LOVE,

SimaG

BEFORE .... I was a MOM

I hope you are all enjoying the day! A dear friend(Susan from moxie-mom) sent me this poem and I hope you will take a moment to enjoy. It brings tears to my eyes and it fills me up knowing the intense love I have for my children and also the incredible effort it takes to raise these little people. Hats off to you, Mom!! Take the day to appreciate yourself : )Live your best life!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Before I was a Mom, I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom, I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night. Before I was a Mom, I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests. Or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. Before I was a Mom, I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put her down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom. Before I was a Mom, I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy. Before I was a Mom, I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom. May you always be overwhelmed by the Grace rather than by the cares of life.

Happy MOTHER'S Day To YOU!!!

My Monster Mama Loves Me So by Laura Leuck, Mark Buehner (Illustrator) My monster mama loves me so!Let me tell you how I know:When I wake up, she tweaks my nose, tickles all my pointy toes,combs the cobwebs from my bangs,and makes sure that I brush my fangs....

MY KID'S FAVORITE BOOK :)

I am sending you all ....monster hugs!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO YOU!

Don't Dream YOUR Life - LIVE Your Dream

אל תחלום על החיים, תחייה את החלום

Don't dream your life, live your dream!

Don't be afraid believe in your own dream.You must have positive way of thinking it makes you believe that everything will be perfect!

Remember...don't dream your dream.. live your dream!

Life Lessons

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them. I've learned that no matter how much I care some people just don't care back. I've learned that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it. I've learned that it's not what you have in your life, but whom you have in your life that counts. I've learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel. I've learned that either you control your attitude or it controls you. I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel. I've learned that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you’ve celebrated. I've learned that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different. I've learned that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that. I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself. I've learned that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And, just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do. I’ve learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn’t stop for your grief. I’ve learned that no matter how you try to protect your children, they will eventually get hurt, and you will hurt in the process. I've learned that you should never tell a child their dreams are unlikely or outlandish. Few things are more humiliating, and what a tragedy it would be if they believed it. I've learned that heroes are people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences. I’ve learned that you can keep going long after you can’t.

Will You Marry Me? February 16, 2009 by mexicachica

Love is in the air. With Valentine’s Day weekend just over, there are undoubtedly a few engaged couples out there. I can’t help myself but I just have to mention that our very own, Shyla just got engaged as well!!!!!!!! Congratulations from the rest of the Oligoville team. We are so happy for her and wish all the best. For those of you who missed the boat and couldn’t get it together to pop the question, here is our clever and thoughtful solution. The Will You Marry Me ring from SimaG Jewelry pretty much says it all. Times are rough and engagement rings are not cheap but that shouldn’t stop you Romeos from declaring your love and commitment to the woman who has stolen your heart. I would say that this ring should buy you some time before you have to spring for a wedding band. In the meantime, your gal will be envied by all her single friends and you will hailed as a hero for your originality. Sima even customizes your message of love in any language as well as hand stamps your true love’s name on it. At $45 each, there are no more excuses buddy!

Mile High Club :: COLORADO ARTIST

Hello My Dear Friends,I would love to share with you a local artist from COLORADO.

Take a look at marybeth shop you are going to love her work.

I talked to marybeth few days ago: here is a short interview with the artist:

"Deciding to be an artist in the days of kindergarten was the best goal I ever followed through on. Photography, sculpture, design and everything in between are apart of my every day. Last summer I came up with the idea to put my photographs to use. I have accumulated so many through out the years and needed an outlet other than framed pictures. The wallets I sell now (checkbooks, card holders and more to come), utilize photographs I have taken in my travels. Denver, Los Angeles, Tiajuanna, and Taipei to name a few, are subjects found on the face of the wallets. Usually the inside graphic is an abstract or smaller section of the front graphic. The city as a subject, is constant, although I do like to stray to some other themes. Vibrant color, good composition and a lot of eye candy keeps me constantly curious with the world around me".
