February 4, 2013 by Cari Bee ·

I know what you’re thinking. Isn’t St. Valentine’s Day the anti-single-girl holiday? All those expression of undying love, and flying fat babies shooting unsuspecting victims through the heart for his own disturbed entertainment.

Well, you would be wrong my friend! This pinup LOVES Valentines Day.

Martha Stewart has made making Valentines to give out to your friends as easy as pie. (Not a Martha Stewart pie, but one that I can make).

1. To express your heart’s desire, start with the utterly charming Martha Stewart Crafts “Stamp Card and Envelope Set” – it includes 18 scalloped edge note cards and matching envelopes with heart-accented labels so you can share your love with everyone you wish.
2. Add your personal stamp with the “Wood Stamp Valentine’s Day Hearts” set of 12 mini stamps nestled in a reusable wood crate.

Happy Party People! Maegan from ChronicallyDistracted.com & Fifty Barrels’ winemaker with The Body Bartender raffle gifts

Hurricane Sandy Fundraiser – BusyBeeBlogger.com

November 10, 2012 by Cari Bee ·

As I said in my previous post about Hurricane Sandy, she’s a real b!tch. Unfortunately many of those who lost everything in her wake, are still going without the basic necessities. THAT is something that this little busy bee cannot sit idly by and take.

BusyBeeBlogger.com is holding a fundraiser here on the left coast for those hit by Sandy on the East Coast. There will be a cocktail party with prizes here in SoCal, with all the benefits going to non-profits in New Jersey and New York.

The event is scheduled for early December and all are welcome to attend.

If you are not in the SoCal area and want to help, you can private message me on my Facebook page.

We already have two sponsors on board.

Good Earth Tea

But that’s not all…

BusyBeeBlogger is also adopting THREE FAMILIES WHO LOST EVERYTHING due to Sandy. They have not asked us for help, but I cannot sit here and just talk about how “tragic” the whole thing is. I will be collecting items that the families need, especially gift cards, such as Target, JCP, Old Navy. I was told that those would be the most helpful. One of the mothers said her family’s clothes STILL smell like oil from the flooding even though she’s washed them 9 times. Let’s get them some new clothes, ok?!

More details on the event to come!
