Sneak Peak ......

Here's a little sneak peak at some soap and whip wash I'll be offering - still up to my eyeballs in soap at the moment, so not quite ready to open shop, but I'm getting there one bar at a time!

Truly smells like cake, you might just want to lick yourself (but don't!).

A little Pink Sugar

Coconut & Mango ~ I had to catch myself from not drinking this while it was waiting to be added into the soap, it smelled that good!

Mocha Latte with coffee grounds, I could live with this scent in my house all day!

New things brewing!

After taking a much needed break from things, I'm finally making my way back here. Jewelry has been put on the back burner for now while I take on a new business venture of bath and body products! I'm so happy to have found my way back to doing this, I forgot how much fun it is! My shop will hopefully be ready for opening by next monday and I'll have a few pictures of products to post tonight.

Meanwhile time is flying by, another birthday next month for me - I think I'll be done counting after this year! My first baby will be turning 6 next month as well and my little guy will be 10 months already, while I'm so ready for spring and summer to get here, I wish I could stop time for just a little while.

Bad bad blogger

I feel like I've been running circles around myself, I wish I could say that it was because things were flying out of my Etsy store, but no, sadly that isn't the case. We survived Thanksgiving and now on to Christmas, I wish we had a longer break between the 2 holidays. Started cleaning my disaster area of an office/studio and found some old photos and papers, I think I'm going to have to break out the canvases and do a couple of mixed media projects, it's been awhile. A few new things in the shop ~

Not Enough Time.....

there just never seems to be enough time in the day to get everything done that I need/want to. I am so having a hard time juggling household, kids, hubby and my new business venture, I'm just hoping that eventually it will all fall into place some how?! Until that magical moment arrives, I see alot of late nights in my future ~ love the quiet time, but the mornings are a little rough.

Fat lip and scab totally gone, we used this miracle lip stuff -  lysine - (thanks mom!), and I'm telling you the stuff has some major healing junk in it, I'm thinking maybe putting this on every scrape or cut from now on!

Gearing up for thanksgiving and some serious family time and trying to get Etsy filled with some new stuff, hoping others will be doing their shopping from home as I will be on black friday.

Office mascot ... always trying to help with photos ~

Wishing I could Take the Pain Away

We've had our first fat lip  at our house recently, I had to go pick up my baby from kinergarten on tuesday, she did a face plant into the rocks and literally landed on her mouth. It's the biggest fat lip I have ever seen, I kept her home wed because she didn't want the kids to laugh at her and we iced it all day, however this morning she said it was an acceptable size for her to return to school - lol, but once we got there her nerves got the best of her. Of course all the kids wanted to see her and wanted to know what happend and some couldn't quit staring, so after getting all of this unwanted attention she shut down ~ I hope she can make it through the day without breaking down!

On the business front I have some more to get listed in my etsy store today, my mom also showed up with a big box of buttons and vintage rhinestone pins that she found on her trip to Iowa - I've got alot planned. I'll post some sneek peaks later.

the waiting came to an end!!!

Not 1 but 2 sales - ok it was from the same person, but it still counts right? I'll take it! I have to say I'm having to much fun designing my blog and reading new blogs, time consuming, but it's been inspiring to "meet" new people today and find new blogs, I could spend all day doing this, but alas I should get some more creating done.

Still waiting on that first sale .......

I know this can take awhile - I've visited the forums enough for the last year to know that I'm not the only one just waiting for things to happen, so I'm looking into some advertising on other blogs for my store hoping this might move things along, keeping fingers crossed! In the meen time I have some more jewelry I'm working on and more resin collage pendants to get going, I'm having alot of fun with these - it took me forever to finally try it, I was so afraid of it not working or turning out that I just kept stalling and stalling, until finally after a good pep talk I just did it- and it worked!

Here's some pics of the family ~
