M3 Girl Designs – Bottle Cap Necklaces & Accessories

Pop on these creative bottle cap jewelry pieces and decorations created by a 13-year-old dreamer & entrepreneur…

Looking for a cute and creative gift idea? You and your friends might like the colorful magnetic bottle-cap jewelry from M3 Girl Designs. These colorful creations were created by a young entrepreneur as a personal fashion statement and are now extremely popular:

When 10 year old Maddie Bradshaw had a desire to decorate her locker with something creative, Snap Caps® bottle cap necklaces were born and now are a “must have” accessory for tween girls.

With $300 of her own money and a unique idea, Maddie’s SNAP CAPS® have turned M3 Girl Designs into a national brand, selling 50,000 necklaces per month in less than two year’s time.

Education is important to Maddie, and in addition to her SNAP CAPS® designs, she is also currently working on her first book. It is an inspirational compilation of stories, inventive business ideas and marketing tools for kids with entrepreneurial spirit and big imagination.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family from Dreamer ENT! How are you celebrating your Thanksgiving?

Dalton, a 5th grader from Dallas gives an inspiring speech, which he also gave on the Oprah Winfrey Show:

What better way to bring together an entire school then a little bit of fun and lip-synching? Watch this cool music video featuring almost 4,000 students and staff at Martin High School in Arlington, Texas. The idea for creating the video was sparked when the students told administrators that there was “no sense of community or family” at the school, and this could cause serious problems like bullying and isolation.

Shot in one take, the special “Lip Dub” video includes every student, teacher and staff member in the school, with select students taking turns lip-synching songs, and everyone else having fun and creating excitement in the background. The video is pretty awesome and creative, especially the cause of building community! (We’re just wondering who is going to clean up afterwards?;)

Here’s a little bit more about the story from WFAA, the local Dallas news station:

“As humans, we’re social beings,” said Martin senior Chris Leyda. “Things go wrong when we’re not in contact with others.”

Chris said he’s seen how easy it can be to become disconnected and isolated. Experts say that can lead to bullying, or just plain indifference.

“There was a kid that has autism, and he felt like he was picked on, and he literally told me that I was the only friend he’d talked to in a year or so,” Chris said.

You might see that kid in this video, or someone like him. The video shoot was enormous fun, with enormous benefits.
