About {Us}

2010-07-26T09:44:00.000-05:00

It's funny how the greatest things in life aren't planned. I'm a planner. My mom still laughs at finding lists in my bedroom as a teenager that included "eat lunch" on the to do list. Like I was going to forget to do that!?! But for me, it wasn't about forgetting, but having one more task that I could check off the list to make my day even more successful. If I included 'make a list' as one of my tasks on my list, well, then I could immediately cross it off, right? I mean, how's that for efficient?

Anyway - the husband & I decided that when our son was 4 years old we were ready to start trying for baby #2. This was August of 2007 and if all went as {planned}, we would have a sweet baby {girl} by July of 2008 at the latest. Somehow, I managed to convince the husband to buy me an embroidery machine just in case my {plan} was right that we would have a baby girl soon. Oddly enough, even after all of my previous crazy whims, he was fine with the ridiculous purchase. I say ridiculous now because he had to teach me how to even thread the machine when it arrived. THAT is ridiculous.

So, a few months later, still no baby on the way and I had made all of about 3 items (those are the ones that I would say were successful, we won't count the ones I threw away...not important.) By this point, I still had a baby on the to do list and was not able to mark that off yet. Now, because the husband was so agreeable in the first place, I felt that I needed to do something with this expensive piece of equipment. By February of 2008 I decided I could figure out how to make things for me instead of just the soon to be baby. We had recently attended a large arts & craft show in the area and I purchased a personalized koozie for over (don't fall out of your seat) $18.00. Do you want the bad news? It only had my initial on it. {Gasp!} No monogram. No name. No cute quote that I personally requested. It was a pre-initialed, pre-designed personalized koozie. Worst part, I had it taken apart within almost 4 hours of having it home trying to decide how it was made. At the time, this was a huge feat. Remember, I'm self taught and I'm pretty sure I was monogramming everything backwards at this point - hard to explain but to put it simply I was making everything more difficult than it really was.

So - I made my first purchase of raw materials online to make my own monogrammed koozies. And let me say, they arrived in the mail within a couple of days and the idea was born quickly. If I can't at least save our family money by using the machine for us, I can at the very least sell monogrammed gifts & hopefully make the money back that I've invested into the machine. And thus, BoutiqueMe was born. No, that's not our baby's name but it sure did help me cope with not having our baby as I had planned.

Now, fast forward 2 years. The husband & I learned to accept that we were not meant to have another baby. We have a fabulous son & a great marriage and we had convinced ourselves that we were perfectly fine with that. And we {really} were...for the most part. Our business had grown from a few sales here & there on ebay, to a full blown successful web-boutique with dozens of orders a day. Business is good & life is better.

We found out on Easter Sunday this year {2010} that we are prego. We are expecting our beautiful baby girl {Emily} in November {Thanksgiving day actually!}. Just as I planned, right? Not exactly. More so, just as HE planned, but look at the fabulous business that developed in the mean time. We both {oddly enough, yes, the husband too!} love our boutique business. It's exactly what we love to do - Work together, from home & enjoy creating fab gifts from ideas. We have great customers and we are always so happy to create fab gifts for our brides, moms, teachers, etc. So there you have it - it's really amazing how great things happen that you never planned. And in the mean time, the things you planned do happen when the time is right, which isn't always {right now}. It's a buzz kill for the to do list success but I guess my patience is increasing with age, I hope.

We hope you enjoy shopping with us & please let us know if you have any questions about any of our monogrammed gifts!

I was sooooo excited to receive my package of ca-ute "To Do List" sticky notes, Thank You cards, precious heart shaped post-its, Burts Bees Wax (apparently the hubby thought this was for HIM?) and Jelly Bellys (which the boys apparently shared and left me the colors they didn't like....how thoughtful!?). It was a great gift and I'm so excited to be paying it forward to two friends.

Our Pay It Forward Giveaway starts immediately and ends on March 27th. And you know our giveaway will be monogrammed & preppy, right?! Wanna win? Here are the rules:

2010-01-28T12:38:00.004-06:00

It's not hard to figure out that I'm a do-it-yourself kind of girl! I love to mix ideas around & test out new designs, geez, my whole life is like a never ending arts & craft hour at camp. However, there is a time & place for everything and there are millions of things I'll do myself and there are about 5 things I do and would (if available) pay someone to do.

Let me say, pumping gas is number 1 on my list. What in the WORLD happened to full-service gas stations? I admit, I'm too young to even remember full-service gas stations but boy would I love for them to come back in 2010.

My number 2, grocery shopping. I don't know how I would pay someone else to do this for me because I have to walk every aisle to help me "remember" what I went to the grocery store for in the first place. But where there's a will there's a way and I might just need to find me a personal grocery store assistant!? Yea, right after I buy that ocean front property.

Number 3, albeit ridiculous, I would pay someone to fold my laundry. Nope, no need for a maid, I'm good on everything else which needs to be cleaned, I just hate folding & hanging laundry. I swear, no sooner than you get it all put away, there it is again, another pile of laundry. It's insane. I stand in my closet for hours wondering what to wear, so it can't be that I have too many clothes (no matter what my hubby says), but somehow I end up with thousands of dirty clothes weekly...I think it's a conspiracy.

4th would have to be cooking. Geez, I know I just made some hundreds of women cringe. Probably my husband too. But let me defend myself by saying that I live with two of the pickiest boys in the world. My son would eat peanut butter & jelly for every meal, every day if I would let him. And the hubby, well, I'll say this, nothing mixed together (that includes anything with "cream of ______" in it, no condiments, no beans & no soups. So that pretty much leaves us with starches & meat. I never enjoyed cooking, but being limited to meat, potatoes & macaroni & cheese is just down right boring. So, I would much rather go out to eat, everyone order what they want and leave with no dishes to wash - for breakfast, lunch & dinner. Absolute perfection.

Finally, the point of my blog? Number 5, Event Planning. I, being such a do-it-yourselfer, stress to the max when planning anything. I think everything should go flawlessly and there's no room for less than fabulous. Which I must confess, although I love attending events, I'm not an event planner. It's a little like dinner, I love to eat, just don't want to cook it. I want to sit down, be served the most perfect meal for my taste, maybe enjoy a live band while I eat & walk away with pure satisfaction. Ditto to event planning. Thus, I bring you, Top2Bottom Events. {I told you there was a point to my rambling!}

Top2Bottom Events is owned by Makenzie Cafaro of Birmingham, Alabama.

Makenzie has over 10 years experience in the event planning industry and in 2009 decided to start her own event planning company. Since opening, she has done everything from helping brides plan and coordinate their perfect weddings to helping design a Sweet 16 party that rivals MTV’s Super Sweet 16.

Makenzie is the mother of six year old twins which has sharpened her ability to multitask, pay attention to details and still take the time to make each individual feel special.

Makenzie LOVES to what she does and strives to make each event as unique as the person planning it. There is no event that is too big or too small. From your child’s 1st birthday to celebrating your 50th wedding anniversary, Makenzie can design an event that expresses who you and what you are celebrating.

Makenzie is based in Birmingham, Alabama but is available internationally. Her pricing is competitive and her fun-loving personality not only helps you achieve the event of your dreams, but gain a friend as well.

Every year, I really think I might grow out of it. Then, the season premier comes on and I'm glued. Why in the world is it sooooo much fun to laugh at the people on American Idol for the first few weeks during auditions? Because, it's funny as all get out, that's why!!

Seriously, whether they are faking just to be on TV or not, there are some contestants that just require being played back on Tivo over and over again. And again.

I mean, I get it, my husband jokes all the time that he is going to go try out for American Idol. I really think he thinks it would be funny to audition. Our son even went to school and told his friends that his dad was going to audition for AI, but that he wouldn't win. Bless. Thankfully, my husband will not be auditioning, Ever. But, fortunately for us, there are thousands of poor souls out there that obviously do not have a single friend or family member to deter them from embarrassing themselves on National Television, faking or not.

I really used to hate all of the audition-drama...but it has grown on me. Because, I realize there are people out there that truly think they can sing - and even their family might think they can sing...well enough to not tell them the truth - and somehow I'm completely amused by learning their life story before hearing them belt out an impossible song....that they never had a chance with. One of my favorite people tonight was the chick auditioning that had a horrible voice, ok, we will give her a pass on that one, maybe her family forgot to tell her that she can't sing. But she had on a tank top 2 sizes too small, with a muffin top that I thought was going to burst through our TV screen at any moment. Then, in the pre-audition interview, she insisted on jumping up and down in the restroom, because it "pumped her up." Again, where are her friends & family? I mean, if they can't find the words to tell her she's a bad singer, couldn't they at least suggest that she refrain from flashing her well-done muffin top all over TV?! But, then again, what fun would THAT be?

And this is only the beginning...we have many more weeks of train wrecks to watch. I'll try to share my faves each week.

Do you have a favorite train wreck from American Idol? Please share with us!

XO,
Melissa

In my daily ritual of coffee & Facebook, I saw a post by my mostest favoriteist band, Sister Hazel. With all of my heart, I love everything about this band. They are awesome musicians, Southern, giving...and all around fabulous. Their Facebook post today thanked Perez Hilton for "making Lyrics For Life (L4L) a worthwhile cause on his site!" Now, let me state my case here by saying I do not ~~openly acknowledge that I~~ read Perez Hilton's normal potty mouth ramblings. However, in this case, I have to give Perez kudos for writing about such an amazing cause, Lyrics for Life! Someone who obviously gets more publicity & website hits than normally deserved, I'm so glad to see that he wrote about this organization & shared it with the millions that visit his site.

Lyrics for Life is a "non-profit organization whose mission is to make a difference in the fight against pediatric Cancer. It was founded by Sister Hazel front man Ken Block in memory of his younger brother Jeffrey, who ultimately lost his four-year battle with Cancer. The charity united musicians and celebrities for concert events, auctions and other fundraising efforts. The monies raised are donated to groups that are working to find a cure as well as those aiming to enrich the lives of patients and their families." (Lyricsforlife.org)

For once, Perez used his site to post about something amazing, as he calls it, A Worthwhile Cause! And it definitely is that! We have all lost someone to cancer. Myself, I lost one of the most influential people in my life, my grandmother, to Cancer. A friend recently lost her 30 year young sister-in-law, a wife and a mother to 3 beautiful children under 5. And of course it's not specific to adults, thousands of children are diagnosed with Cancer annually. Absolutely heartbreaking.

It's totally amazing when such a talented group of people (Sister Hazel, not Perez) use their abilities for more than fame...for a cause that is so near and dear to all of us. They are truly an amazing group & I couldn't resist the opportunity to share about this organization & to praise Sister Hazel for their efforts! If you are interested in donating to Lyrics for Life, even if it's $1, visit their website, www.lyricsforlife.org, and click on the link at the top, HOW TO HELP.

{Of course, I couldn't resist sharing my photo of me w/Ken Block at the recording of Sister Hazel's 2008 acoustic album, Before the Amplifiers}

I know, I know...it's crazy, right? One day your sporting the bikini on the beach & the next day your planning for the holidays...again. My son announced last week that Christmas is only 11 weeks away (now 10 weeks!) and I was officially surprised. It's not that the holiday season comes at different times each year but for some reason it always seems to sneak up on us. He's already asked when his elf can come visit (www.elf-magic.com). Seriously? Already? I had to stress the fact that McGregor, our elf, has to work very VERY hard until (at the very least) Thanksgiving. I mean, did he really think I was going to let that elf hang my laundry from the ceiling fan for 11 whole weeks? Whatev. Needless to say, McGregor will not be arriving until after Thanksgiving...he better be at the North Pole working his little hiney off for our Christmas gifts.

Speaking of Christmas gifts, who has already started shopping? I see 1 hand up...maybe 2.Don't worry, I definitely didn't raise my hand. As organized as I am, rather OCD about it in fact, I'm def on the wait-til-the-last-minute-Christmas-shopping team. It's hard to get in the spirit before Black Friday...I thrive in Black Friday Madness! Who's with me? Regardless of when you start your shopping, we have added some fab new gifts at BoutiqueMe.net and you can at least start your gift shopping....list.

I {heart} football

2009-07-29T16:35:00.005-05:00

I realized the other day that it is almost time for football again...what a great surprise. The countdown is officially ON and there are only 38 days left until The Auburn Tigers officially kickoff the '09 season. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the summer, so to say that I'm excited about football season is a little bittersweet since it means that the summer time will be coming to an end all too soon. However, if I could choose anything to follow my most favorite season it would definitely be a season of cooler {for the south} weather, cookouts, friends, tailgaiting and SEC football. There's nothing like being at the stadium chanting "It's great - to be - an Auburn Tiger." So of course, in my overly excited state, I had to make myself a new football koozie for the year!

If you are a football lover too, don't forget to checkout our koozies. We can create koozies in any team's colors, with or without ribbon. At such a fab price, monogrammed koozies are always a great gift for a friend or coworker.

Don't forget, Friday is the LAST day to enter our $25 gift certificate giveaway! Every $25 spent enters you for a chance to win. OR, sign up to follow our blog and our Facebook group for extra entries!

Here's to a great rest of your summer & looking forward to a fab football season! War Eagle!

Seriously, I'm loving the idea of Christmas In July!

2009-07-01T09:08:00.001-05:00

My new fave bags have done it again! I can't express how in love I am with Bungalow Scout Bags, and then they tease me with Christmas tote bags in July. They're good! See, I'm a lover of all things Holiday - lime & red {the holiday version of lime & pink of course}, gift-giving, get-togethers, food & wine....the whole 9 yards. They {Bungalow} must have known that I would fall for these, hook-line-sinker. Let's discuss:

The Spirit Liftah --- What better way to show up for the holiday party than with wine? Why, with a bottle of wine in the Spirit Liftah French Twist Holiday Pattern! Believe me, BoutiqueMe.net will have these before you can say "Merry Christmas, Y'all."

The Original Dean-O is the perfect size bag! These are excellent for toting all of your gifts & goodies to the holiday party. Or, for continuing your new found desire to go "green" while shopping...in the perfect holiday style. I can already picture my monogram on this bag while I tote it all over creation this holiday season!

As if the tote bags weren't enough, they've added French Twist Holiday door mats to the list! Must-get-one-soon. Just trying to decide how early I can convince the hubby that I 'need' this mat displayed in front of the house. I'm thinking I'll start celebrating & decorating for Christmas along with the department stores this year...aren't they up to about late-August now? Sounds PERFECT.

Make sure to check out our Holiday selection this year @BoutiqueMe. We will have everything Holiday & Monogrammed that your heart desires.
