Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday
I had a different post scheduled for today but decided to showcase my second DIY article which was published by Parade Magazine on Monday. Thanks to their partnership with Sverve, bloggers have an opportunity to submit original content articles to be considered for publication at Parade.com. There is no monetary compensation but the recognition and sense of accomplishment definitely makes it all well worth it.
If you have not yet signed up with Sverve, click here to do so, and after completing your profile, I would appreciate if you would follow and endorse me. To learn more about the this sponsored opportunity as well as others including those for Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest click on the CAMPAIGN tab at the top of the page.
New companies and sponsors are continually partnering with Sverve which makes it an excellent platform for us to work with. It allows the blogger to choose the campaigns that best fits their niche and/or works well for their targeted audience.
Some of you may know that before I started blogging DeDivahDeals, there was “DelaDivahDesigns” where I created and sold Clutch Purses using placemats. I have since stopped but I wanted to share the DIY with others. To read the entire article with instructions click here
I would also appreciate it if you would sign in and leave a comment on the Parade.com website letting me know if these Placemat Purses would be something that you would be interested in making and or selling.
Stay Blessed – No Stress in 2014!

Styles of the 60s
I was born in 1961, the decade known for free love, drugs, Go-Go Girls, Rock and Roll, The Vietnam War, Civil Rights, Hippies, the Birth Control Pill, The Peace Corp, Dr King, President Kennedy, assassinations, integration, Space Explorations, Cuban Missile Crisis, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, The Beverly Hillbillies, Afros, Crew Cuts, and of course the vibrant and colorful world of fashion.
The Past Is a Blast is a website that has culminated fun and interesting facts about the ’60’s, including popular music, dances, sports figures, politicians even the minimum wage, which at the time was just a $1.00, go check it out.
I was too young to fully understand it all but do remember that I loved the fashion and styles of the ’60’s, the bell bottoms, platform shoes, neon colors, color blocking and pattern mixing…hey, isn’t that the style of today?
To learn more or reminisce about the 60s, here’s another website you can check out – The 60’s Official Site
What is your favorite blast from the past fashion trend? Mine was bell bottoms and Peace Sign jewelry.
Remember this DIY jeans project?

As stated in a previous post, when thrifing I don’t let larger sizes deter me from making a purchase because it can always be altered. This red and white polka dot top was a size 2X that I cut down using another shirt as a guide. I paired it with black and white polka dot capris also thrifted from Goodwill.
