~Lime and Tequila~ May Scent of the Month

So we're 5 days into May, and I just now said to myself, "OMFG, you ARE a DORK! You never changed your scent of the month! What will people think now??? Not to mention you've been neglecting your blog again!!!" So the only excuse that I have is...well...I must have been incapacitated...we'll say by alcohol...so....um...that brings me to my point...it's CINCO DE MAYO today!!! Paaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrtayyyyyyyyyyy! What better way to celebrate then Lime and Tequila? I can't think of one, so there you have it! And that, is how I randomly choose my scents of the month.

Go forth and sell!! Happy Tuesday!

What's New Chicken Poo?

Mint Julep Earrings $12.00

I am chuckling as I type, because my kids think that phrase "What's new chicken poo?" is hysterically funny. However, I realize my failure to blog with any regularity lately is no laughing matter. I've finally gotten settled in the new digs, and last weekend we had my son's 7th birthday party. So now, with no pending festivities to plan, it's time to really put my nose to the grindstone and start creating again. When I say I'm settled in, I have all my boxes unpacked, but I'm by FAR not organized in the least. I have managed to find room for all my craft supplies, and the garage is stacked to the gills with stuff, but it's not.....well.....for lack of better word ...organized. I scoff, because I'm never really 'organized', but at the current moment, I have to dig through a lot of stuff to find what I'm looking for. I am hoping that I'll either a) get a wild hair and get to straightening things immediately or b) just organize as I create...hahahahaha...even I find that funny. And from this point out, I promise to become a better blogger!

What's new in your neck of the woods!?

~Green Tea & Lemongrass~ March Scent of the Month

For March, the "Month of Luck"..you know, little green men and pots of gold, I have chosen my Green Tea and Lemongrass candle as the Scent of the Month. You can get it in the 8 Ounce Size or the 16 Ounce Size in my Etsy shop. I hope March finds everyone well and brings you lots of LUCK! :)

Luck O' The Irish

I needed a well deserved break from packing stuff up and moving it around, so here it is, I managed to snag a treasury! And I've moved on to the next holiday...Saint Patrick's Day. I love my themes. LOL

Shaken Not Stirred...

....but I prefer mine Dirty... ;)

This morning, as I cracked open my sleep laden eyes after tossing and turning all night, much to my dismay, I awoke with a crick in my neck. I must have slept wrong on it or something last night. It sucks, I can barely turn my head. I keep trying to massage it out, but it's not working.

What does that have to do with anything, you ask? Well, for some reason, as soon as I discovered this pain, I started thinking about martinis. So I reached for the computer gingerly, and started surfing Etsy of course. Then I realized, Holy smokes, it's only 6 AM, and there's a treasury spot! WOOOHOO! So due to my recent ponderings, I created a martini treasury. There are LOTS of fun martini things on Etsy. In fact, I even have one in my own shop!


Well, it's about 2 PM, and there's only a week left until school starts. I think it's time for an adult beverage with lunchie poo, don't you?

Dreams of Hawaii

I went to Hawaii once, a long, long time ago when I was in the Marine Corps. I wish I could go back as a tourist and take my time exploring. It was so green and beautiful, with lots of interesting wildlife, and gorgeous fish. Today it was cold and windy, and while I was making this necklace, I was thinking about Hawaii. It's made with Czech glass beads in a beautiful deep green color, Cherry Quartz (which is just a fancy name for pink glass) and Swarovski crystals. I added a freshwater coin pearl for a little pizazz, and made the clasp myself. I won't be sad if this baby doesn't sell. I wouldn't mind keeping it for myself! :)




I even made a dainty pair of Freshwater coin pearl earrings to match. Ever since I learned to form my own ear wires, I'm liking making earrings a lot more! :)

New Soap YAY!

Well, I thought my last sick one would be back to school today, but her fever didn't really break, just went down for a while to almost normal. I'm guessing it's bronchitis. So we're off to the doctor at 1:30...in the nasty, pouring rain and cold. Brrrr...come on spring!

In the mean time, I made some lovely new soaps. The first is Green Clover and Aloe in an Olive Oil and Aloe base. If you're ready for spring, this is the soap for you! :) The second is Honey, Buttermilk, Goat Milk soap. VERY moisturizing. Unscented. Gentle. Great for winter skin blahs.
