Random Thoughts n' Lotsa Coffee :)

We made a few collages for our friends over at RandomThoughtsandLotsaCoffee.com. Check them out below. This particular order got me thinking-- would anyone be interested in Caboom-Sass.com coasters for your coffee/tea mugs? I think it might have to happen in the near future. :)

Scattering SASS [Snag-A-Star Stamina] in Tampa & NYC, Feb. 16-20!

I'm going to NYC for a few days, and my parents are going to Florida at the same time, so I thought this would be a perfect opportunity for more SASS scattering.

If you've found one of the collages left in NYC or Tampa, please allow it to be your little glimmer of hope, a Pocketful of Positivity, if you will. The missing half [or multiple parts depending on which one you found] has been found in NY if you're in FL, or FL if you're in NY (opposite of where you found your half is where the other half was left).

Curious as to who found the missing piece(s) or what it looked like as a whole? Find out by "liking" or commenting on the picture of yours on the Caboom-Sass Facebook page (click to view).

This movement is brand new, so scattering helps spread the word(s), and you can help, too. We would be more than appreciative if you do, and if you'd like a 100% free, personalized collage (for you or for someone else), please feel free to email "I'm interested!" to brittneyschering@gmail.com.

Still wondering how this whole Caboom-Sass thing even began? Check out the very first blog post. It explains everything! Thank you for visiting; please check out the FB page, and share the SASS with your friends and family!

New York Fashion Week

So, New York Fashion Week is upon us. As a summer fashion writer for DesiHits.com and fashion blogger for CHAOS Magazine, I've become especially involved with the empire that is the fashion world, and exceptionally fond of all its wonder and everchanging excitement. With that being said, I've created this peel-and-stick collage just for the NYFW.

Do you like it? Just say the word, and it's yours to peel-and-stick anywhere you'd like (folder, locker, mirror, etc). It'll be in the mail on the way to you first thing tomorrow! Happy Fashion Week :)

Scattering SASS: Find your missing half!

My hope is that you are here because you've received one of the heart-halves below, or someone you know has, and you're interested in learning more about how to find out who found the missing half.

If that is true, then great! Welcome to Caboom-Sass.com! 

To find out who/where the other half ended up, first please be patient, as your other half may not have been found yet. This first batch of scattered "Sass" will be carried out Friday, Feb. 4 through Sunday, Feb. 6. I'd say, give it until at least the 8th or 9th, and if you're still not seeing anything as far as where the other half could be, then let me know, and I'll try my best to help!

Ways to go about this quest:

1. Post a picture of your half on the Caboom-Sass Facebook page along with a little message that includes your whereabouts or something fun, inspiring the finder of the other half to respond.

2. Tag yourself or comment on the photo that you think your half belongs to [also on the FB page]. All full-collages included in this first scatter-sesh are in an album of their own on there, so if you're dying to see what the whole collage looks like, you can find out there! All that I ask is that you pretty-please give the page a nice little "like" while you're there, if you'd be so kind. This whole endeavor is still new, and I'm trying to spread the word, so any help in doing so is incredibly wonderful and greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit Caboom-Sass.com! If you're wondering why or how or when this began, check out the first blog post from Tuesday, October 11. It explains everything. :)

This is what it's all about. This right here.

New Year, NEW PRODUCTS! Let's get SASSy; it's 2012!

First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR! As promised via the Caboom-Sass Facebook page, Lots of new ideas have been brewing, and I have a few samples to show! Please know that these samples also serve as freebies, so if you see one that you particularly like, say the word and it will be in the mail for you tomorrow! If you see a style that you like, and would like your own personalized version, simply send the "I'm interested!" email to BrittneySchering@gmail.com and we'll get you started with the brief order form!

1. Doorknob decor (great as a gift for teachers, anyone with an office, or even your own bedroom door!)

2. These are sweet because they can serve as either a mouse pad OR a peel-and-stick-anywhere source of positivity. That's right-- a large sticker to place in your locker door, on your mirror, on a folder, or wherever else you can think of, and they're glittery! :)

3. This can also serve as one of three things: a classic P.O.P., a magnet, or an air-freshener holder, in which instance, a small pocket will be provided on the back, in which the air freshener can sit/be changed. With one of these, you'll receive a complimentary air freshener. :)

4. Magnet! Great for anyone with a fridge, which is everyone, I think! ;)

Happy New Year!!

'Tis the season! Have yourself a Caboom-Sass Christmas. Here's how:

Ah, I cannot believe it's been almost a month since I last posted! I've been busier than ever with nannying 39 hours a week, writing for multiple publications, and creating collages like crazy! This is merely a statement, not at all a complaint-- I am loving every minute of it. Please keep it coming. :)

Also, while I'm here, I decided to share a heartfelt P.O.P. anecdote. Without revealing too much information, I received an order from someone who was looking to give the collage as a gift to a friend in need of support and encouragement. She inquired about the possibility of the collage being made in the form of a deer or elk. I said yes right away, unsure of how I'd make it happen. Good news: Success!

 Here it is:

Would you like your complimentary P.O.P. to be in the shape of something significant? Include it when you fill out the brief order form, and I will be sure to make it happen. :)

Happy Birthday to my incredible Mom!

Birthday P.O.P.

Speaking of gifts, I received an order today from one of the first 100 participants to receive a free, personalized collage. This individual purchased four more POPs as Christmas gifts with the theme, "Dream. Believe. Achieve. Succeed." I LOVE THIS! Not only is it my most favorite motto, but I also love the idea of giving these as gifts. 

I hope this will present others with the idea to do the same! Nothing beats the exclusivity of a personalized gift, especially when it's carry-along motivation. Okay, so I may be a little bit biased. But seriously, I LOVE this idea so much that I just had to share it with hope that you will love it, too!

Introducing CABOOM-SASS:

Carry-Along Bliss Of Optimistic Motivation  – Snag-A-Star Stamina

As a writer and lover of all things inspirational, I have always been a fan of magazines. Years ago, back in high school, I took this love a step further and started to cut out the words that I liked from the pages of my favorite publications, and I would place them into what I called a word box. First, I took these cutouts and created the cover of a journal. I enjoyed this so much, the process and the product, that I created an inside-cover and back cover for it, as well. From there, I still had a box full of words left over, and the desire to create, so I started to make collages. I have not stopped since, and I am now a 22-year-old with a Bachelor’s degree in Professional Writing from Grand Valley State University.

Throughout college, I would make these collages in various sizes, so small that they could slip right into my purse or pocket, and so large that I used them as posters to decorate the walls of my dorm room. I enjoyed being surrounded by these colorful clusters of motivational words, quotes, sayings, and sometimes-even images, from my favorite magazines. I loved it so much that I thought maybe others would love them too, and maybe they would receive the same feeling of encouragement and enlightenment as I do. How cool would that be, to take my favorite hobby and make something out of it that could brighten people’s days, their mentalities.

I kept this idea to myself for quite some time, for fear that maybe I was the only one who thought it was cool. Does anyone else respond to words in the same way that I do? I was not sure, so I waited it out. One autumn afternoon, I was chatting with the Assistant Editor, Meena Rupani, from an entertainment company in New York City that I worked at and wrote for during the summer after graduating from GVSU, and I told her about it. She is the first person, other than my mother of course, that I ever told, and to my surprise, she was completely supportive and excited about the idea.

Meena said that especially as a cancer survivor, she could have used something like this to help her get through the rough days of treatment. I was so relieved to know that she didn’t think the idea was crazy [or that I had gone insane myself], so I told my best friend and college roommate, Angela Antonio. She also liked the idea, thankfully, and this gave me the confidence to move forward and finally establish Caboom-Sass: Carry-Along Bliss Of Optimistic Motivation – Snag-A-Star Stamina. The second half of this name is inspired by one of my favorite quotes by Les Brown, “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.”
