Mach-5 With My Hair On Fire

I have been running non-stop lately. I have a trip with the Mister scheduled to Sunriver Resort next month. It's a service weekend for his job. Beautiful spot up north of Bend, Oregon. I will definitely post pictures. I made 24 candles on Monday and with in an hour of posting, all of them had sold. I guess it's time to put in bigger orders. I also seem to have a pretty high demand for my Bombdiggety Balm.

Life is getting exciting!

Hello, It's Me

I've ignored you for such a long time. I am truly sorry.

Well I can't find a "recipe" to make candles of one color that melt another BUT I'm thinking if I make a pillar candle and paint it with a non toxic paint, that may work.

I also went back to the drawing board on my lip balms. I am really not happy with the consistency. I still think it is entirely too hard and waxy to use. I have someone who wants to order some for stocking stuffers. I also have several scents on the way for my candles. Pumpkin pie spice, blueberry, bluebonnet and the smell of Christmas. I ran out of supplies and am so looking forward to getting back to my little corner of happiness.

Challenge Accepted

So my son has thrown down the gauntlet. He wants me to make a candle that is one color and as it melts it has a different color inside. Then my mom joined the challenge. Add spiders or something and make holiday themed candles. I guess it's time to start doing some homework...

Another Order On The Way

I gave a lot of my first batch of candles away. I ordered 10 lbs of soy and am waiting for it to come in so I can make more. I took the remainder of what I had to work with me and sold them all. They were a huge hit! I already have orders for more. I need to sell enough to order a lot more wax and scents and I have my eye on a SUH-WEET Nikon camera.

If you are looking for a relaxing hobby, this is it!

Morning Comes Too Early

I've said it so many times. I am so not a morning person. I have to be up at 4:15 a.m.  to be to work at 6 a.m. for a task that needs to be done. Any volunteers to go to work for me tomorrow? or maybe even move 6 a.m to around noon?

Thirty-one

So glad to be back selling Thirty-One bags and totes again. Based on the scripture Proverbs 31. I love that it's a bible based business. I love, love, love these totes and bags. I admit to copying and pasting here but the scripture remains the same.

Proverbs 31:10-31

King James Version (KJV)
10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
14 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
