New Rule

Hey everyone I need to address a new rule. Usually I am pretty good about letting you pay me when you get your items, but I just cannot do that any longer. You see when you make a request from me, usually it is something unique or something you want matched. So I go to the store and I pick up ribbon, embellishments, and more - to make your very own item.

This stuff is not cheap as many of you well know. I cannot just say hey give me this much ribbon (on some yes but most I buy it by the spool) and I only need one butterfly out of that package so can you just let me open the package and pay for one butterfly or daisy or whatever it is you requested. Of course I have to buy the whole package and I often spend $20 to $30 each time I go to the store, sometimes much much more! Then I have spent my money we needed for say gas or bread and I make your bows or holders or flip flops, whatever you requested, and I say to you your order is done come get it, and often times people put it off for several days to even weeks.

The issue is that is not fair to me or my family. We are spending the money planning on having it repaid and then it isn't and it hurts us. So a dear friend who also runs a boutique told me she has everyone pay upfront. That way everything is taken care of and if she needs something she has the money to go get it. I hope you understand and I do not want to lose any of you as valued customers, but try to imagine yourself in my position. I have paypal and I can invoice you. You do NOT have to have a paypal account in order to pay through paypal. I believe you can pay with any credit or debit card. If cash is your only means of purchasing, please message me and we can work something out. I am more than willingly to make exceptions if you can pay me as soon as the items are completed. Thank you in advance and I look forward to working with you and creating some more lovely things for you.

Also picking up items is also becoming an issue. I have very cheap shipping rates. Considering the fee paypal charges me after you pay, it is even less. I do not mind meeting you or my husband meeting you when it is convenient for us. He works in Fort Smith so that is no problem if you want to meet him before 3 pm Monday through Friday. Anything outside of that is going to have to start charging a $3 handling fee. You are always welcome to come get it here in Greenwood or have it shipped. Please let me know when ordering what you prefer so I can invoice you properly. Thanks again.

Spring into Spring Time!


The Spring into Spring Time bow give-away went very well! The deal was whoever referred my 200th friend on facebook won a free bow. A lovely lady let me know that a sweet friend Kelly had referred her to my page and thus Kelly won this great bow pictured above. Kelly does not have any children yet so she is giving it to a friend. So sweet!

I will continue to do other give-aways. My next one is going to be a drawing. If you spend $20 with me from April 5th to the 31st of May your name will be put in a drawing for a summer bow. You can enter as much as you like so the more precious bows you get the more chances you have! The Drawing will take place on June first! Continue referring those friends and voicing your opinions. I cannot wait to see what I come up with next!

Easter is on it's way!!!







This struck me as a very Easter like color. Easter. What do we celebrate? I often dwell on things I shouldn't. I will be the first to admit my faults. (And there are many!) One thing I dwell on is Holidays. Nothing irks me more than someone who doesn't believe in God or in Christ and yet goes all out on the Holidays meant to celebrate His birth and Resurrection. It's almost ironic and I am chuckling now. So you say you do not believe a virgin gave birth to the son of God, but you believe a big fat man in a red suit flies with his magical reindeer landing on your roof and squeezing down your chimney to give you presents? (chuckling again). You do not believe that same son died and rose again from the grave, but you believe a giant rabbit hops around laying eggs and leaving baskets of goodies in your house? Okay so adults probably do not believe this stuff, but what about their kids? They forbid their children to go to church or hear of any "God" nonsense, but they break out the big guns for truly mythical creatures!

Okay I will just hush now. Perhaps this is a post meant for my personal blog but I was on a mission here to post those pictures of the latest Easter wear :) And as you take a look or prepare for your own Easter celebration, remember what you are celebrating. Not a rabbit, or eggs, or chocolate (though that is a favorite of mine ) We are celebrating the life that God gave to us so freely. And after all....He is Risen!

Personalized Bows




Welcome to Dazzle Me Boutique! Please feel free to follow me :)

This is my first official post on here!

I am currently making personalized bottle cap bows. I only do this every so often. You can order the bows any time of the year but I won't always have certain names in stock. If you would like to have one for this Spring or Summer, please get me your order this week.
You can choose the color and the name, of course. I did this for all four of my girls and they turned out adorable. I got all pink with white letters as my girls wear a lot of pink. You can also order more than one in different colors if you just cannot choose.

Above is a picture of one I did for my Olivia last year. Thanks for looking!
