Have you ever heard of Paparazzi $5 Jewelry?
Well you should check out my new Face Book page. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Paparazzi-Jewelry-By-Janice-Wilson/431312200314127
Yes that is correct. I signed up as an independent Consultant with Paparazzi Jewelry. I was invited to join a Face Book party and when I joined the party, I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought ok, she has to be cleaning out her inventory. So I Goggled Paparazzi Jewelry and found the same thing. EVERYTHING is $5.00 each except Starlet Shimmer items for little girls they are only $1.00 each.
Two sisters started this company in 2010 to help empower women and help build their self esteem and self confidence. Cute jewelry is super fun to wear and makes you fee good. Fashion changes so rapidly that most women can't afford to purchase expensive jewelry only to wear it a few times before the trend has changed. This jewelry is affordable and can be replaced without breaking the bank account. It is super cute and fun to wear. They offer different kits so you can choose the one that fits you best. I couldn't believe how much comes in your kit. Here are some Pictures.
I have individual pictures of each item on face Book if you follow the link below for Dawn's Online Paparazzi jewelry party.
Dawn is hosting an online Jewelry party here is the link, https://www.facebook.com/events/562696310468142/ Join the party. If you see something you like just put SOLD in the comments and If you are local (Portland/Metro area) I will gladly meet you to save the shipping costs.
I will be having a Open House Launch party on December 6th from 10:00 am - 6:00 pm if you would like to come see it in person. It is a cash and carry business, so if you see something you like, you buy it and take it home with you. No waiting for UPS, USPS or FedEx to deliver it. I can do home parties, office parties and Basket parties.
I haven't decided if I'm going to start a new blog just for the Paparazzi Jewelry or not.

UPS delivered this cute pink box.
It took them 11 hours to get it here from Tualatin. It's like 16 miles. I was driving Dawn crazy, she asked me how old I was at one point and I of course replied 3. I was so excited.
The black box has all my business stuff inside. I love the box.
Under the Black box was this pink one.
Love how the did the boxes.
Look at all of that jewelry. I got the kit that had Jewelry and hair accessories.
This is how it looked when I set it all up like I was going to have a party.
I have 10 pair of earrings hanging on the front, and
10 short Necklaces hanging on the back of the stand.
This was a display board that I made for scrapbook pages and cards, I just added some Cup hooks along the top and now it holds 29 necklaces and they all come with matching earrings. Yes, they are only $5.00 each. You could hang them double deep, but I didn't want to.
And there is a blue one also.
Yes my granddaughters were the first to get one. Mary chose the blue one and Hailey choose the multi colored one. They both wanted 2 but I was a good grandma and told them that if they tell their friends about my new business they could have another.
What they don't know, is that I am ordering earrings and rings too.

The diary of a Wimpy Grandmother.
Ok, so here is the newest "STUPID" trick I used to loose this weight. I could have and should have just cut my portions, exercised and done it the right way, even if it takes a while. But no, I met a lady selling Boresha Be Skinny Coffee in Vancouver when I went to the Clark County Women's Expo. She is just the sweetest young lady. I was in dire need of a cup of coffee and she had a booth. So, I stopped and listened as she explained how she just lost 26 lbs in 2 months, by drinking this Coffee. So I asked questions and she even got into the internet to show me the ingredients and what ever else I wanted to know about the products. It sounded great. I love coffee and I need to lose weight so why not. I went home and thought about it. I searched on the internet for scams and warnings and I didn't find anything. So, I ordered a box of 20 pods to fit my Keurig.
I received the products on Oct. 31st. It was awesome. I planned to start the coffee diet on November 1st.
I woke up the next morning, all excited to get the new diet going. I made myself a cup and started my day. All went well.
I woke up on Saturday, had my coffee. I hosted my crop and taught the Laughing Lola Mini Album, all went well.
When I woke on Sunday November 3rd, I felt like the fibromyalgia had come back. There was an elephant sitting on my chest. My first thought was that the cat had been in the house for 8 days because of being spayed. I am allergic to cats, but the Vet said I had to keep her in till she healed. So I kept her in for 8 days, I put her outside on Wednesday October 30th. I had vacuumed and mopped so it shouldn't have been that bad. As the day went on, I couldn't move without coughing, so I used my inhaler to help me breath. It helped a little but not much. By the time my husband got home from work I knew that I should go into the urgent care. First I called the Fred Meyer Pharmacy to see if I could use my inhaler more often than every 4 hrs. The pharmacist recommended that I go in to be seen. So my husband took me to the ER. By this time I was so weak and dizzy, I felt like I was going to pass out. I had to hold onto something to keep from falling over. I coughed so much on the way to the hospital I wet my pants, so Steve went back home to get clothes As soon as they got all the information they put me in a room and started a Nebulizer treatment. They finally called me back and started a 2nd Neb treatment and gave me Prednisone pills. The Dr. also gave me a prescription of Prednisone to take for the next 4 days. I was there for 5 1/2 hours.
Monday I went to see my Dr. and he started me on a Neb treatment and gave me a Cortisone shot. He also sent the Nebulizer machine home and I had to use it twice a day for 5 more days. All this time I've been drinking my New Boresha Coffee.
Tuesday I get up have my coffee, do my Neb treatment and still no improvement. My Daughter came over and sent me to my stamp room so that she could start a deep cleaning to get the cat dander out of my house so that I could start getting better. She even took the vacuum down and had it cleaned and the filters replaced so that I wasn't getting anything in the air from the vacuum.
Wednesday Dawn came back to work on the house some more and she happened to tell me that she and her husband bought a new thermos for him for work and how nice it was to have one that kept the coffee hot all day. That threw up a red flag because Charlie didn't drink coffee. Which in-turn made me think COFFEE!!! I had been drinking the Boresha Be Skinny Coffee this whole time. Not getting any better. I bet it's the coffee. So I did not have a cup of Boresha. By the evening I had forgotten to do my Neb treatment until about 10:00 pm. I had been needing to do it about 5 or 6pm.
Thursday I woke up feeling better, I did my Neb about noon, and completely forgot again that night. I was feeling so much better.
Friday I woke up feeling so much better. I called my Dr. and when Jon the nurse answered he was amazed to hear the difference in my voice. In just the 2 days I went from a whisper that couldn't get 1/2 a sentence out to an almost normal voice. He wanted to know what had changed. I told him about the coffee and he said "Who would have ever thought Coffee could do that?"
I am almost totally back to normal. I still have a cough here and there, but for the most part I am back doing all the stuff I love to do. It was so scary for few days though. I hope if you try this coffee you are very careful. I love the idea behind the products, I think it wasn't a good fit for me as there are ingredients that say "Other Natural Ingredients" and I usually have an issue with products like that because they use something like Forsythia or Pine or something that I am allergic to.
So have I learned my lesson? I would hope so, but you never know. I sometimes have to learn the hard way and although, I don't want to go through this again, I am Human.
I hope this helps you to make better decisions when trying to loose weight, do it right. Don't take shortcuts.
Happy Scrappin',
Janice

Picture My Life™ Scrapbooking Program
JUST FOR YOU, THIS JUST IN
Do you Love documenting memories in minutes? Then you’ll love the new Picture My Life™ scrapbooking program, meant for quick and beautiful memory-keeping. This program comes in eight themes, all based on the gorgeous designs of some of our most popular paper packets. Whether you choose to embrace a single theme or mix and match for a truly unique look, you’ll love the ease, affordability, and beauty of the Picture My Life programs. Your own photos are all you need to add to make astounding artwork—in no time at all!
Each program has a theme, from childhood to friendship to travel, but because we have ensured sufficient variety in design and style of each you can easily apply the cards to other themes. Say you love the palette and designs of the Babycakes program but wish to apply a “family” theme—go ahead! It’s one of the unique differentiators and possibilities of the program! With a large quantity of product in each program you will be able to craft creative arrangements all your own. Each program includes 122 double-sided cards plus 10 unique Memory Protectors™ to capture life as it happens, and their versatility and gorgeous designs will transform your albums into masterpieces. On one side of each card is space for journaling, and on the other you’ll find artistic sentiments and icons. Each program is designed to accommodate approximately 100 photos in your included Memory Protectors, so with a balance of photos and cards, you’ll finish with about 20 remaining cards. That means you have plenty of choice and flexibility in which cards you choose to include, making it uniquely yours! Of course, you can easily use more or fewer photos in your project to suit your story’s needs.
Unique to Picture My Life is the included 12" × 12" double-sided cover page with each individual program, using a beautiful My Reflections™ pattern. True to Close To My Heart standards, the cover page offers a finished and cohesive look to your project with its featured high-quality design. The Picture My Life program is so versatile that you’ll find dozens of other ways to incorporate it into your papercrafting. Use the cards to expand other projects you've started! For example, if you just got back from the trip of a lifetime and wonder how you will capture all the details, mix the Picture My Life cards with your photos to extend your scrapbook pages. Choose your very favorite photos to scrapbook on 12" × 12" two-page layouts then use coordinating Picture My Life cards and your remaining photos to document the rest of your trip in minutes.
This program is yet another new, fresh addition and option for memory keepers to preserve their memories. The cards enhance the scrapbooking experience—making it even more fun—and they work brilliantly in mini albums, My Crush™ books, as journaling cards on your 12" × 12" classic scrapbook pages, or as gift cards and tags.
Here are 6 of the 8 themes that Close To My Heart has decided to use in the Picture My Life Scrapbooking Program. I personally love their choices. I can't wait to get started. Watch my blog to see how I use these in my own personal Picture My Life scrapbooks. I do not have the actual program, I have purchased similar products to play with so when the actual products are available I can help you use them better.
Avonlea
Babycakes
Chantilly
Later Sk8r
Laughing Lola
Surf's up
We will have to wait till the new Idea book comes out in February 2014 to see the other themes.

About The Picture My Life™ Scrapbooking Program!
I am so very excited about the new Picture My Life™ scrapbooking program. I have been pinning Ideas for a while and joining Facebook groups and signing up for newsletters to try and do this on my own. And now, I don't have to, cause Close To My Heart has done it once again. They have taken it to the next level for us. I read through this earlier and said to myself, "I have to share this information." This is a long post but very full of information. If you have any questions or wish to join my team, email me jwilson@bctonline.com and I will answer all that I can to help you get started.
What is the new Picture My Life™ scrapbooking program?
The eight new Picture My Life™ scrapbooking programs feature themes based on some of our most popular paper packets, plus two brand new paper packets.
What is the retail price of a Picture My Life™ scrapbooking program going to be?
Each individual Picture My Life™ scrapbooking program will be available for $24.95.
Will the new Memory Protectors™ styles be available separately, or only as part of the Picture My Life™ scrapbooking program?
The new Memory Protectors™ will be available separately as well! They will come in several styles:
What is the Join Close To My Heart offer to new Consultants?
Join Close To My Heart is an incredible offer for new Consultants to join your Team! When your new Downline signs up between November 1 and December 15, 2013, and submits qualifying minimum personal sales, they will not only receive one of their choice of the incredible new Picture My Life™ scrapbooking programs, but they will become the newest member of the Close To My Heart family!
What is the new Picture My Life™ scrapbooking program?
The eight new Picture My Life™ scrapbooking programs feature themes based on some of our most popular paper packets, plus two brand new paper packets.
- Each individual program features 122 double-sided,
- designed cards plus 10 unique Memory Protectors™ to hold creative combinations of these cards and your own photos.
- You get 44 – 4" × 6" cards (2 each of 22 designs) which come in 14 vertical and 8 horizontal designs.
- You also get 78 – 3" × 4" cards (3 each of 26 designs) which come in 10 vertical designs and 16 horizontal designs.
What makes the Picture My Life™ scrapbooking program different from other card-style programs on the market?
Our product features unique Close To My Heart designs, specifically with Jeanette’s signature artistic influence. Many card programs are very simple patterns or solid colors, and our product offers a much more thoughtful approach to design, journaling options and prompts, headlines, and layered, graphical, illustrated or distressed style—each of the 8 kits really is a fresh take that is theme-rich and yet extremely versatile, not just color changing the same core designs. Additionally, our cards are printed on our Background and Texture-weight cardstock, heavier than similar programs on the market, which makes them easy to mix and match with coordinating cardstocks or papers. Our 12" × 12" cover page gives you a unique opening page to kick off your album and deliver a finished look, and our Memory Protectors™ remain the same heavy-weight, durable material you’ve come to depend on to protect your photos—absolutely the industry standard!

How is the Picture My Life™ scrapbooking program intended to be used?
The product was designed to fill the 10 included Memory Protectors™ following a guideline of 50% photos to 50% cards (which will give you several different card options leftover to give users choice as they create their custom layout.) However, it’s just a fun and versatile product—you can use it any way you wish! If you use a higher ratio of photos, you can purchase additional Memory Protectors™ separately (all styles sold separately as well as part of the scrapbooking program); you can mix and match cards from different programs, and you can absolutely mix Picture My Life™ with classic 12" × 12" layouts, including those from Workshops on the Go™ and coordinating My Reflections™ paper packets.
This program is meant to provide you with the ease of scrapbooking life’s moments as they happen. With adorable pre-designed cards featuring unique sentiments, icons, and journaling space, all you have to add is your own photo collection! The several themes can be mixed and matched for more versatility. The prompts on several of the cards will help you creatively journal, and the various assortments of Memory Protectors™ will make your finished products truly unique.

Halloween at my house.
My Little Minion Pumpkin. Dawn and Charlie pick out a pumpkin for me when they went to the pumpkin patch. Perfect for a Minion.
We asked Charlie to take a picture of us, but he was too far away. We didn't want full body pics. So he got a little closer. He was so close, we thought he was trying to get a pic of just Dawn's eyeball. Holy Cow he was close.
I did Miss Mary's make up based on a Scarecrow Dawn found on the internet.
I did Dawn's face and hair based on a pic she found for herself.
They both turned out really well, I think.
Here's the family photo.
Hope you enjoyed the evening as much as the little ones did.

Blast from the Past
When Jeanette Lynton, founder and CEO of Close To My Heart, began her venture into stamping 30 years ago, she drew by hand all her stamp images. Originally made of rubber and set on wood blocks, a few of these stamp sets are available to you in clear polymer for a limited time only from Close To My Heart! Contact your Consultant to learn more.
These retro stamp sets are so cute.
If you would like to purchase these stamps click here
If you have any questions please Call or Text me at 503-708-6889. You can also email me at jwilson@bctonline.com

Yeah!!! The last Birthday in October, at my house, has been celebrated.
Yesterday was Hailey's 8th birthday. Dawn and I made all the decorations, or at least revamped them. We found these little pink bags that worked well for the goodie bags for the girls. We added the Duck Tape and Monster High sticker to the front and they look like they were made that way.
I made these bags for the boys. I used some old paper and added strips of black and Blue cardstock.
I found something similar to these little books on Dr. Phil Scraps blog. I used a 3 x 5 index card that I picked up at dollar tree a couple years back. I used the Pro Player paper and Tech Speak for the images that I hand cut and put on the cover. I glued a ribbon under the game controller and attached the other end to an ink pen.
I took streamers and added the skulls and the Monster High logo to the star at the bottom of the streamer.
I made a banner with Hailey's name on it to hang across between the living room and dinning room.
We found mini Top Hats at Party CIty and I added the Curly ribbon the side so that the birthday girls was a little different. Look at that smile.
Tarina always makes the cutest cards.
When you pull on the tongue the ears pop up and on the inside of the ears it says Hi There! Here is a link to the site where I found the card and the tutorial with pattern.
Dawn gave Hailey 2 - My Little Pony surprise packs from Toys R us. she was showing me so I could take pictures and mom put the teal bag on Hailey's head.
Hailey is holding a mini Skull/magic 8 ball.
Hailey starting singing as soon as she put it on.
Grandpa had to try the hat on for size.
I made a mask for the cake and Dawn sprinkled Powdered sugar over the mask and then add the pink bow.
Uncle Luke even came over for the party.
I wish I had been ready to capture the look on Hailey's face when she opened the door and found all the decorations. It was priceless. She was so excited, we could hardly calm her down long enough to eat the Chicken nuggets, bacon and corn on the cob that she requested for dinner.As soon as Dawn and the kids got home. I received a phone call. It was Miss Hailey, asking me to make her another Puppy Dog Ear card, because she had broken an ear off on the way home.
