December's Top Handcrafted Sponsor



 Well let me say its been a  pleasure doing samples for  sampler  companies this year.  I  have been excited to throw out a few of my samples each time to  allow people  to see and  try  my products.   .  This month is  extra special though.  For December, I have  been selected to be the Top Handmade Sponsor for My Dream Sampler box.  Holly Miller, the owner  emailed me to let me know I was selected and I was so thrilled.  It  has been a pleasure to work with her because she really does go the extra mile to promote sponsor shops across all the social media she has on her. So if you are looking for  a good place to  donate   some samples I suggest  My Dream Sample Box.   I have had a  very positive experience working  with her and  the results have been great for the previous months I have been  donating back then. I also have written an article on me and my  work, so you can read it here if you like to read more about  who I am and how I do my work.

The Success Collection


Oh yes I absolutely love this  Treasury I landed  on this month. Just look at the title itself!  Yay for the Success Collection. I cant believe how creative  people are being  in making their  items. And the treasury is totally inspiring for me.   My Mini  Money Success candles  landed  in the treasury as you can see here  but I like the  jewelry there, I think my favorite  on there  is the brown  necklace on the bottom right hand corner. I love seeing treasuries  on Etsy, you just may never  know what you find until you look at these types  of collections. Pretty  neat! :)

Christmas decorations

This year I actually got up my Christmas stuff on time so I thought I show you what I bring out each year. I will say part of the reason I get pushed  to decorate my  place slightly  is because of St.Christopher. He loves Christmas, its his favorite  holiday of the year. Not to mention that  I can see his spirit, and every time the holidays come he seems to  pop out his Santa Suit... well he is adorable as always  if he was  physically alive I probably  hug him all the time :)

Don't Trust the USPS


This weekend  provided  me  some laughter  from the USPS.  If you are  planning  to ship any gifts to  your loved ones  this year, please  consider insuring your boxes. While my Etsy  shop has  open for only a half year,  I have  run across   a lot  of things the  USPS  has  done and it doesn't matter what service  you are choosing whether its media mail, first class rate, or priority mail, some how  something happens to my packages  sooner or later.   Hence, I have  learned  that no matter what the price  of the item is, I  need to  have it fully covered just in case. I know that  shipping cost can be high with insurance  but  for just a bit more  it provides a  added protection that is needed.  If you  are running a shop or planning   to mail stuff  to your  love  ones this holiday please spend that extra money to get insurance, you will fill better knowing that   you are covered.
