My Creative Weekend!!!!

Hi Divas And Dukes!!!

What a terrific weekend. I attended the Scrapbook Royalty's Treasure Hunt from 8am til midnight. We were raising money for Families with Spinal Muscular Atrophy. It was a wonderful gathering of creative ladies.
Elena and her volunteers did an incredible job putting this together. There were 2 little girls there (from the same family) who had this challenge and they called themselves "The Guardian Angels." They were racing around in their wheelchairs . One of them had on a t-shirt that said"so NOT a Princess" but of course she was wearing a "Diva in Training " Tiara that I gave her. The other one was quite a scrapbooker. They sat next to their Mom and I and did my Make and Take , A "Diva" Artistic Trading Card. They had their own style and were determined to do it Their way!!!! I loved their spirit.
I was truly humbled by the parents of these girls They referred to their girls as their "2 Blessings" . I came away from that day thinking I have no problems and how Blessed my family is . If you'd like to find out more about this you can go to www.scrapbookroyalty.com .
Elena will be on the show this Wed. with the amount of $$$$$ that were raised for this worthwhile charity. She and her team donate 100% of the money raised. I don't know what her next event is but I do know that I'll be there with my tiara on!!!!!
What did you do this weekend to bring a little creativity into your life? Rayme and I would love to know.
Have A Diva Day!!!

Talk About Being Bold and Different!!!!!!

HI Divas And Dukes!!!!!!!

This is one my favorite times of the year. Comic-Con is in San Diego!!!! It's the worlds largest convention for comic book enthusiasts. We live Downtown so we're right in the thick of it. When I go to the grocery store it's not unusual to see a couple of Darth Vaders standing in line with a hoard of Storm Troupers. And next to them are a bunch of Pirates. They've brought in a full size replica of The Black Pearl made entirely from Styrofoam. Now that's a Craft Project! I love their passion for their hobby. Like our hobby, it's also our lifestyle.

I'm planning on taking my nephews to the convention on Sun. It's kids day. And because I'm definitely still a kid at heart I'll be there with my tiara on!!!! Why not. When you wear a tiara people smile at you all day long. Sometimes I forget I have it on and I think to myself,"People are SOOOOOO Friendly. "

This afternoon I'm off to help set up for Scrapbook Royalty's "Royal Treasure Hunt." Elena and her team do an incredible job raising money for all types of charities. I look forward to spending the day tomorrow working on finishing up some of my projects and catching up with friends. I hope you have a terrific weekend and enjoy spending time with your family and friends. Whatever you're doing make sure you're Havin a Diva Day!!!!!!

Welcome to Our Diva Craft Lounge Blog

Hi Divas and Dukes,

We want to welcome you to our Diva Craft Lounge Blog.

Rayme, Jan and I hope to be frequent contributors… but This Blog Is for You! (Sorry Budweiser.)

The purpose of our blog is to create a special place for the listeners of Diva Craft Lounge Radio from throughout the world to come together and share everything from their ideas to their lives. It can also be used to discuss those products and vendors that we cover weekly on the show or to let us know about your own discoveries. The rules of this blog are simple: Dare to Be Bold, Different and Always Kind!We always considered Diva Craft Lounge Radio Show as our weekly blog but here we're raising the creative stakes and jumping out of our comfort level because that's what we do. We're taking a deep breath and our fingers are flying.

I just returned from 4 days at CHA Summer show in Chicago. If you don't know what that is, it's an industry only show for manufacturers, designers, and retailers. Needless to say I was talking so much to friends in the industry from all over the globe that I left my voice in Chicago.

I was so inspired by the designers, manufacturers, and retailers, and what they're creating, that Jan, Rayme and I are devoting the whole show today to them.

Join us please! We want to know what inspires you and how you keep your creativity flowing.

That's all for now ..... Gotta go do our show!!!!!!

Have a Diva Day! ™
