It's A Girl Thing...bling...


Here's a little something that was asked of CSM to do...at the drop of a hat (or boa!), we were able to put this little simple saying that just "says it all"....because after all, It's A Girl Thing right? My dearest of dearest friends Mishelle of Corona's Candles needed this asap for a clothing event she puts on once a month at TGIFriday's in Corona...on top of being the best mom to two wonderful boys, she sells candles and now some really cute clothing. I, of course, had to have a clothing party last week...found some cute stuff in my size, until my other dear friend Tracy had to "steal" them from me. No worries, I got my order coming in on Saturday!
Back to the bling...so this is a new Vintage tee that we found...roughed up around the collar, sleeves and bottom seam...gives this soft feelin' tee the looks of being your fav tee in your closet...so add a little bling and you got yourself a piece of modern flare mixed in with a little vintage.
So thanks Mishelle for your order and we look forward to more "rushes" to get our creative brain juices flowin'....

Have a little Crazy-Faith



In these trying times, we all need to have a little Faith...or how about a little Crazy-Faith? Love this Gothic old world cross is littered with rhinestones and rhinestuds with some red accent crystals...
Comes on a basic, burn-out tee in black...gives it just the look we wanted. Measures approx. 7"x10" so your statement is loud and clear!!


What is a burn-out tee you ask? Its a type of worn-out look on a tee. Just like it's been in your closet for years and you just can't part with it because it holds a special place in your heart; a little worn out here and a little worn out there....oh so perfect. But don't wait too long to order yours...we have a limited supply in stock!
Are you Crazy enough to show your Crazy Faith??

Glamis Girls goes Crazy





Not an ordinary Sunday at CSM Central...we've been busy doing some custom designs for Solar Max (that was the "bling emergency" we had on Friday but all is good now...great job Ang!!) and now these adorable Fidel Caps with a little Glamis Girl bling on it. Requested by some friends, these cute little babies will be eaten up like hot-cakes come Monday morning at school.
Available in pink, camo, sand, grey and black. Get yours today and have it ready for those crazy-riding, dune-chasing days at Glamis. Of course we will not be responsible for Fidel caps that become lost, stolen or just plain falling off your head when out riding...but we would be happy to replace one for you!!!

Happy Trails to you and may your dunes shine ever so brightly with your Glamis Girl Bling!!

iT'S HerE...iT'S HerE!!!

From the packaging....

...to the tag....

...my long awaited gypsy wear was worth the wait. I am so excited to finally get them. These two little darlins' will look great with some worn out jeans I have...I can hardly wait...


After such a hectic day today, this couldn't have come at a better time. The day started off right; read my bible, had my coffee done early and was dressed to drop off the youngin's. But somehow, we noticed a strange smell in the air; there was a gas leak nearby. Unsure where it was coming from but at first the kids weren't allowed at school. A little reassurance and bringing Nolan his cell phone, I think they were ok. After an hour, the smell had subsided and all was good in the Orange-Hood...

So off to our first appointment of the day; met with a Baseball and Softball Tournament Organzition. We proposed some pricing for our baseball and softball bling and left with smiles on our faces...it looked promising!! Keep your fingers crossed!! After that we dropped off some items to get done for one of our kids' baseball teams, then off to get an order in Fullerton. Of course, things couldn't go that smoothly...heck no, it's Friday! With gas leak scares gone and the gitter-bugs just leaving our stomachs from our meeting, we were faced with a "bling emergency"...yes they happen. Then to top it off, one of the kids are sick and need to be picked up. Thank goodness for Ang's wonderful man; he was able to get her and all is calm...for the moment until we get back to our "bling emergency". On our way home, we stop in Corona and run into an old friend and she gives me some fashion dirt on where to go and where to buy...thanks Melissa! I owe you! That will be our field trip next week! I can't wait!!! Wear tennis shoe's Ang cause we are gonna be walkin' girl!!!

So we come back to bling central (my home), Ang works on King and Poly Bling orders, organizes the next batch of shirts for our OTHER baseball team to get screened for our March of Dimes Walk next week (that's another story I'll have to share later) and began getting the "emergency" under control...it's not quite done, but getting there!

Then my hero (the UPS guy) comes and drops off my long awaited shirts from the junk gypsy's. I am so excited to get them that it just makes all the stuff we went thru today (oh and by the way, it's barely even 1 pm) seem so long ago. So I guess this venting session has done me some good. I am now able to start the weekend off right with the mindset that even though things don't go the way you plan (cause hey, life ain't fair sometimes) at least try to find the positive in it and don't dwell on the negative. Yeah sure, the emergency is still there, but at least I'll be looking cute in my gypsy-wear when I'm pulling my hair out...

Till later my friends....may you have a blessed weekend!!!

Poly High Baseball joins the crowd...

Just another wonderful design made exclusively for Poly High Baseball. We are so excited to bring them this...we just got it done today and couldn't wait to post it. We are meeting with them tomorrow to show them the shirt...I know there will be lots of moms wanting to wear this and show their school pride for their baseball player. This design sits near and dear to Angela's heart; her husband graduated from Poly (we won't say just how long ago) and played baseball there, not to mention so did his dad. Yes it's a family thing you could say. So there will be no surprise when their son is ready to make the high school journey, he will be joining along side his dad and grandfather...we are so proud of you Drew!

This wonderful addition to Poly High will be making its debute at their game against either Bishop Amat or at the Kennedy Tournament. Either one, we wish them all the best!

More info on where to order yours will be posted soon. Go POLY BEARS!!!

Not-So-CRaZy-Weekend


I love weekends that allow you to be you...just hanging out at home from busy weeks make one re-gather thoughts and dreams for the soul. Enjoying the warm So-Cal weather and my beautiful backyard that is in full bloom...peaches are growing, flowers are in bloom, and the citrus tree aroma fills my patio area...After baseball on Friday, I headed into the weekend without any definite plans for myself; for 1 of my sons, that was quite the opposite. With sleepovers, 2 parties and a UCR baseball game with dad left our 9 year old exhausted. Oh to just crawl up on the couch and sleep after all that...those days are few and far between.

Saturday I woke up with a tug on my mind...I had purchased 2 of the cutest tee's and tanks from the Junk Gypsy's at http://www.gypsyville.com/ on Friday. After exploring their Rebel Road Sista website, I began thinking...we have successfully instilled in our children the foundation of God, Family and Friends but where is the sense of wonder and exploration? Why not just take off for the weekend, away from all the city drama and just take off your shoes in run in the open field? Enjoy Nature, God and Family? And so it began...I wanted to do something out of the ordinary. I stepped out of the box and repainted the sofa table...oh the sofa table that was so plain and boring before...has now become transformed into something that will be a constant reminder of this weekend of self exploration...when my inner Gypsy came out.
Here are my before and after pics.
The sofa table was screaming for a make-over....


So after a light sand, I painted it red, red, red (at the suggestion of my fellow Gypsians, Tracy and Shelly)...I bet she's screaming now...


...then rubbed her down with a chocolate-black paint to give her a more worn-out finish; so she has a story to tell of her journey...



All I have to do now is add the glass handle I bought at a local Antique store here in Riverside (oh we are loaded with them in Downtown Riverside...I love my city!)
This little baby will go back behind the couch in the family room...my kids will think I'm weird...I'll just call it my inner road trip...

With a Saturday evening free for my husband and myself, we headed down to Duane's at the Mission Inn...oh I LOVE that restaurant and area! I had their chopped salad (Julienne Trio of Lettuces, Red Onion, Mushrooms, Green Olives, Bacon, Hearts of Palm and Crumbled Blue Cheese tossed with Garlic Vinaigrette) which I know this week I will be back for more; it was the best salad I've ever tasted in my entire LIFE! We enjoyed filet mignon and lobster with a glass of Cakebread Chardonnay, then topped off the dinner with Banana's Jubilee prepared table-side. We talked and laughed and were reminded why we are so made for each other. He is truly my best friend!
This weekend was much needed for us both. We needed to regather our thoughts, shake off the winter-gloom days, and start the week off right...our kids will appreciate it! Plus I had an opportunity to get back to doing the things I love to do; sit and enjoy my beautiful home and start (and finish) a fun project to add to our sanctuary!
The journey will not stop here my friends...stay tuned for some changes in CrazySportzMom...where maybe a "blinging gypsy" may appear out of nowhere...

ASA Opening Day went....

...better than we had ever hoped. We had a blast being the EXCLUSIVE designer for Orangecrest ASA and their very cool and unique logo. With Meg and Michelle's help, we were able to get this little jewel of a logo manufactured in time for this big event this weekend. There were so many vendors all in support of this elite league with all these talented young ladies...reminds me of my softball days when I was in Elementary School...oh it wasn't that long ago.... This little event that ASA put on is a yearly tradition (as is for our baseball and football leagues in our area). Vendors come from all around to support this league and provide their specialty to a vast array of clientele. From the last Opening Day we did for Little League, I was able to network with other companies that want their company logo "blinged" out. Plus I get to see all my friends and their kids too...I love to socialize!!





From the worlds best kettle korn to fun games and rides for the young ones, this is one of the main reasons I love living here in Orangecrest. The families here are so geared toward sports and spending quality time together. I should know, I have had all 4 of my boys remain active in sports in this area...this is their home and community and they love it just as much as I do. My 9th grader Ryan was able to help me set up and watch the booth (and spent some great Mom and Son time together). He bought me breakfast and forced me to eat a couple cookies...thank you so much my dear son...I love you!

Of course our dear friend and salsa-connoisseur Diana Powers was there with her world famous salsa...sooooo good! Seriously, it is THAT good! Notice her CrazySportzMom support by her sporting her cute red tee with blue "baseball" in rhinestones...she did that to wear to her sons games at King High...Go Wolves!!!

Her son Noah was there with his warm smile to greet the customers in between rides, singing karaoke and hanging out with his friends. I met Premier Designs consultant Karen Mountain and had my eye on my next purchase...this cute this little bracelet is a must have for me...with pink, bling and has the shopping theme...oh I love it! It's so me!!! This line of inexpensive High Fashion Jewelry is the only company I know that donates a portion of the proceeds to help aid in Christian Ministries. That's why I was telling my husband that I needed to buy lots of jewelry...he didn't think that was so funny! Click on Karen's picture to email her if you are interested in hosting a party. I did and received lots of free jewelry, plus it was fun to hang out with my girlfriends!


My friend Lisa Survillas was there promoting her energy/health drink by Symmetry....Genesis seems to be a big thing these days. She is very knowledgeable about this product and all the benefits of it that you can receive. I began taking this about a week ago and I haven't felt better. I also give the Future Star to my kids....to promote physical, mental and emotional support for students' minds and bodies...containing an optimal brain food herbal blend, I'm hoping this delicious citrus flavored drink will help my boys stay focused in school.

Paul Davis, future City Councilman for Ward 4 was there with his family promoting his views on our community and all the positive changes he has planned for us. Click on his picture to be linked to his web site. Knowing him and his feelings about our community gives us a sense of trust and honesty. Here is someone wanting positive change in our area. We wish Paul all the luck!!


Overall it was a great day. Met new people, reconnected with some old friends from school and got lots of orders for CSM. The icing on the cake was meeting with the VP of Poly High School's Baseball Booster Club and received the thumbs up for moving forward with "blinging" out a design for their baseball mom's. We are excited to do this for them!!

After my morning shift, Angela showed up after watching our young ones' travel ball game in Temecula with my 11 year old Kyle and relieved me so I can watch the second game. It was a long day but this is what we do and we love it. We have some new items coming out in April so stay tuned and see what CSM is cooking up next....

So thank you Meg and all the parents from Orangecrest ASA for all your hard work in making this event so well planned and organized. It showed and paid off! And thank you for allowing us at CrazySportzMom the permission to do something real special with your logo...may you have many Blinging Blessings in your life!
