New Candles in Upcycled Glassware!

Last night I was so excited to be making these. We found the glassware at Goodwill and I knew it needed to be re purposed. So, I started making these candles. I was SOO excited, guess what I forgot to do? Yep, that's right....I forgot to take pictures of the process. I do have a finished picture though.

On the left is Sweet Pea scent, the middle is Lavender Violet and the end is Angel Wings. I think they look so amazing in the glasses. And I truly hope that someone else does too and buys them for their sweetie.

Busy Much???

I know this is nothing new to all of you successful bloggers out there....but MAN AM I BUSY right now. My to do list is like a mile long. My awesome hubby found a cute herbal shop that is willing to try carrying my hand made cards. But now I need to pick out the cards, make a sign to put on the display case, make up some more business cards, get the sign laminated....and that's just all related to one task. I have 9 more! How do people like HowDoesShe? and BloggyMoms (just a couple of my faves) and all the others do it?

I know once I get myself organized (major chore in and of itself) things will be better. But today, with my 16 year old T and 10 year old Bear, home from school, it's looking impossible.

NO. Not impossible. I will get this done. I will succeed at this. I will make mistakes, and I will fall down sometimes. But I will get back up and succeed. I must, because so much is depending on this. Especially my own peace of mind and belief in myself. But that's a story for another day. Keep me in your thoughts today and I'll do the same .
