Two New Groups!

2010-01-30T15:55:00.002-05:00

I've opened two new groups and would love to have you all join. Links are on the right side of the page.

The first group is Briar's Weekend Wars. Each weekend we will have a "war" with a different theme. Tremendous amounts of the weeks theme will be sent through by all members. It could be tubes, scraps, animations, masks, etc.

The other group is Incredible Incredishares. This is a place to snag and share wonderful Incredimail letters and other related goodies.

I hope you'll join me there!

Hugs,
Briar Rose

PS- I'm working on a long overdue scrap kit! Stay tuned!

Warning about Limoges Jewelry!

2009-09-29T18:00:00.002-04:00

I've learned the hard way and I want to share this with you so you don't get scammed, too.

Several months ago, I ordered a family ring with my kids birth stones in it. I received it and while it looks cheap it still has my babies' birthstones in it so I liked it. That was at least 4 months ago.

Today I try to buy a few things that I needed at the grocery store (I had checked my bank account just before going) and when I checked out it declined my debit card. I called my bank and they tell me that there's a charge from Limoges (listed as MBM-JSP or maybe without the dash) which now has my account frozen. The person from the bank also gave me the phone number (847-375-1332) so I call them.

The first person that I talked to told me that she could have the account canceled, cancel the pending shipment and reverse the charge but it would take 7-10 days. Not that it was her fault, but I'm a single mom who works her butt off and can't wait 7-10 days to get MY money back. So I ask to speak to a supervisor. The supervisor had the tone that I was stupid and that his company hadn't charged my account at all. Funny how the lowly agent says that she can reverse the charges but the supervisor says I haven't been charge. He also says that my bank has no idea what they're talking about (those were his exact words). Before ending the call he says that he will escalate the issue and someone will contact me within 24 hours.

So here I sit with my bank account in the red and VERY low on groceries. I don't need pity or sympathy, I'm just saying.

**Limoges never tells you that you are joining a "jewelry club", they assume you know that and then out of nowhere they start charging your bank account for jewelry that isn't worth a penny.

I'm just trying to warn all of my friends. Pass it on! You won't be sorry!

And if you google it you'll find other people who have been scammed also!

Thanks for the Memories Patrick Swayze

A Sneak Peak

2009-08-16T01:04:00.003-04:00

Here is a sneak peak of some of the hair bows that we will be offering at Tainted Bows

The picture quality isn't great but they were taken with my cell phone and it doesn't take good pictures. We will have better pictures on the website which should have hair bow for purchase starting tonight.

I'm so excited to announce....

2009-08-13T15:17:00.004-04:00

that my daughter, Kourtney, and I are about to open a new web store! We will be selling custom (as in you tell us what you want) and ready made (meaning all kinds that we've made with different themes) hair bows for little girls! They will be priced to fit your budget. We decided to name the store Tainted Bows since the name Tainted Scraps is already somewhat recognized.

If you don't have a little girl or granddaughter, please tell all of your friends! (diapers are getting expensive...LOL)

We have some really cute Halloween-themed bows that will be on the site soon!

Hopefully by this Sunday night, August 16 we will have some of our bows on the website for you to view and purchase. Ordering will be easy through PayPal!

Nikolas Shaun is here

2009-03-24T15:11:00.002-04:00

I'm a little late getting this up but I've been a little busy....lol. On February 23, I had a c-section and gave birth to one of the most precious angels that has ever been born. Nikolas Shaun weighed in at 6 lbs. 6 oz. and was 20 inches long. He has dark brown hair but is turning to a copper-ish red like his mommy's. (Well, her natural color) He's a very good baby. He doesn't cry very much at all. He only wakes up for one bottle during the night so he's a good sleeper too.

I have a scrap kit in the makings and hope to get that finished by the end of the week. That depends on Nikki though.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

2008-10-05T01:53:00.006-04:00

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Here are a few facts about this disease:

Breast Cancer is the most common cancer in women, no matter your race.
The most common cause of death from cancer among Hispanic women.
The second most common cause of death from cancer among white, black, Asian/Pacific Islander, and American Indian/Alaska Native women.
An estimated 182,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in American women during 2008. About 1,990 new cases of breast cancer are expected in men. In addition, an estimated 67,770 cases of in situ breast cancer (both DCIS and LCIS) are expected, with 85 percent being DCIS.
2.4 million women living in the U.S. have been diagnosed with and treated for breast cancer.
An estimated 40,930 breast cancer deaths are anticipated this year (40,480 women, 450 men).
The risk of developing breast cancer increases for women whose parent, sibling or child have had the disease.
Women who begin menstruating before age 12 are at increased risk of developing breast cancer. The more menstrual cycles a woman has during her lifetime, the more her risk increases.

Can Men Get Breast Cancer?

Men can also get breast cancer. In men, breast cancer can happen at any age, but is most common in men who are between 60 and 70 years old. Male breast cancer is not very common. For every 100 cases of breast cancer, less than 1 is in men.

(facts obtained from http://www.cdc.gov/CANCER/BREAST/basic_info/facts.htm and http://www.networkofstrength.org/information/bcnews/stats.php)

I have created the kit previewed above as a reminder to everyone that this is a serious disease. Early detection is your best bet of a positive outcome. Don't forget to get those mammograms!
