Landing in Another Treasury in October

 
Posted by Picasa

 This week I have been very busy with trying to get all my crafts done to  get ready to shoot my  pictures for the upcoming  Christmas  gifts I will be having for my Etsy store.  It has been rather hectic because I am doing so much that sometimes the day goes by so fast.   However, that  doesn't mean I can't take  from creating and  go into writing on my blog.  My plan was  to write this weekend  but  the weekend  is almost here  so I  might as  well   get a head start on things. :)

Creating Christmas Labels



When I first started my shop,  I had friend that  created my  original Joie Joelle  labels.  They turned out   gorgeous and  I really loved how  she did my labels.  Unfortunately, she got more busy and  I  had to find a way  to make them myself. Well, thanks to my cousin Jon , he  suggested  me to learn pPhotoshop!  Last month,  I went up to see him so I could learn a few lessons.  When I first started learning everything, it did feel overwhelming.  I had to actually call my cousin a few times  when I felt stuck.  Thank goodness he was there to teach me even more.  After constantly practicing  the labels, my first  batch was  ok.  However, I didn't like the patterns as much and started  looking for different  ones.   Hence after all the learning patterns , fonts and brushes I am getting the hang of all of this stuff and I am so impressed  with what I have done for myself.  I feel each time I  learn something  new and  I am able to  improve it , that I feel more accomplished for what I can learn on my own. So here are the labels  coming out, below you will see the candle labels I created for this holiday season  :)  It's nice to  make a  change and get in the spirit of the holidays.

Meet Tigger and Yuna



It's time to meet my two adorable cats Tigger and Yuna.   When I   went to  animal shelter  a few years ago my mom, my brother  and I saw  these two together in the same cage. Actually, it was my brother's idea to not separate them as he  thought that it was so cute to find a matching a set of cats.  In fact, it was my brother who also said if we got  both of these cats together then they would keep each other  company. I thought it was sweet how my brother was thoughtful  about keeping them together  like a family. When it came down to paying  for the  two cats, me and my brother decided  to split the bill. I actually paid for Yuna and  my brother  paid for Tigger. Oh yes, there is one more unique thing  you should know about both of my cats, they each have an extra toe on their front paws :Yup, that means they have  6 toes each on the front paws. When  you look closely their front paws  are shaped like  little mittens.  It makes them even more cute because  we didnt know that they had extra toes until they both came home to us. It just makes them the perfect pair together. :)

Angel Card of the Day- Peaceful



The card of the day  comes from  Saints and Angels Deck Doreen Virtue and the card is Peaceful!  I love this card! And since its Friday,   its  a way to say its time to relax as the weekend is coming up in just a few  hours here. Take the time to relax and  unwind anyway you can... even if it means that you have  do something a bit different  out of the norm.   Does that mean you have to hang out with others?  Nope , in fact  it might mean you need a  some  peace and quiet for yourself and not be around  others for a bit and that is  ok.  Go ahead make some Me time for yourself, you deserve a  little peace and quiet now and again.

Introducing Love Bath Salts



  Hi Everyone,
    A new addition to my shop will be adding  bath  salts! I have worked hard to create   these love baths to get the right energy into them where you can  get the  positive lift  in your life just by  being  in the  bath  for a bit.  I love these bath salts I created because not only do you get that nice loving energy around you that feels great but  you get a nice positive and happy feeling.  I know  that when I use these  bath salts it takes away  some of the negativity that is attached to my body.  In fact I can actually feel the lift after I get out of my bath.

Newest Creation- Don't Worry Be Happy Candle Plus Giveaway

   So after working hard at  making my newest candle, here it is,  It's the Don't Worry  Be  Happy Candle!  Inspired by my guide St.Christopher! He always  says that we  are always strsesed  in today's  world that we  do more worrying and tend to forget how to  be happy or even  get that feeling of happiness back into our life! So this candle is going to be a double color candle.  The  first layer  will be baby blue like the Peace candle and  it will be wrapped with peace loving energies and herbs which is the main issue for most of us.  We cant really be happy if we are are in constant worry  about everything going on in  our lives anyways right?  So the peace energy needs to come in first , making us feel more calm and relaxed, and less worried... Once the peacefulness takes effect , we have the second  layer wrapped around it , which is  going to be  promoting the happiness feeling we so desire to have.  We all want to feel happy and not worry , so the happiness  layer will  give that boost of joy  in your every day life here.   The  whole effect is very nice  when  you  burn these  candles too because  its just nice to have that  feeling of  joy everyday!  I worked hard at making this candle and I do feel  you will like it.  These candles are the in the mini candle sections  but as soon as I can take the pictures  for the bigger candles they will be  put up on my Etsy store.
