Give Up the Ghost Perfumes

Here's a prototype bottle of my ghost scents...you know the ones I made for Megan Crewe, author of Give Up the Ghost. The book is being released on Sept. 15!

This bottle is 1/4 oz. of smell goodness. I hope to get some books to offer gift sets, as these would make AWESOME gifts for the young adult book readin' set. Something I would have LOVED when I was a kid.

I am very happy with how these came out. Took me DAYS to figure out how to make it work.

So anyway, I'll be back to post the progress and update y'all when I get them all ready. Whee!

Powder Changes

Pouf!

Instead of raising prices on the dusting powder, I am cutting back from 4 oz. to 3.5. I decided to do this for a couple of reasons...one being I don't want to raise prices. Another being, those suckers are a PITA to fill. The powder is my FAVorITE product to use. It's my least fav. to make.

So I'm in the process of changing my etsy listings & photos and notifying my wholesale accounts.

Thanks for understanding. You're an understanding bunch. Mmmmwah!

Disappearing Act

Yeah, I know. It's been A LONG time. I sorta took a powder from this whole blogging thing...I was slow to update to begin with, but then I feel into the abyss known as "Summer Vacation". With 3 young-ins (youngins? you know KIDS), around 24/7 since May 15th...it's been well...let's just say...a VERY LONG summer. Only two weeks 'til school starts! Whee!

So I'm excited. And no, not just because of the back to school/return of my sanity thang. I also have some FABULOUS news! I've been keeping a secret for 9 months. (Oh, shut up. No, I didn't conceal a pregnancy and recently give birth. I'm a little unusual sometimes, but, come on, a BABY??? Geez...)

This is really cool. Here, just READ ALL ABOUT IT! Super Bad + Ghost Story = FAB-U-LOUS!!!

Sorry, I'll have to gush more later. Someone else wants to use the computer. Beh.

C is for...

CAT FOOD!
Nom, nom, nom! Delishi-o-so!



One of these days I'm going to tell y'all all about my new fragrance, "Hits Like a Girl". Not today, though.

Cocoon in Copper

Oh lookie here! A blog update...what's gotten in to me???

Heh.

Well, I wanted brag a little about my new bracelet that's heading my way. ^^See^^

My etsy pal jetflair made it for me! I mailed her some cabochons I made in my glass kiln and she picked this one to set in silver & solder to a cool copper cuff!

That particular cabochon has been kicking around this place for a while now. It never exactly inspired me. I always thought it looked like a chrysalis, cocoon, kind of buggy. I kind of just tossed it in with the others for her to have--thinking it didn't do much for me--so let it go to someone else (cough, cough get it out of my house)...

Now it's coming back all transformed into beautiful bangle!

I just love it. I can't wait to get it & try it out on my freakishly thin wrists.

Bear Hunter, Knives, etc.

Hiya friends!
About time I updated, eh???

Well, the bath & body biz is doin' fine. (Just in case you were wondering...I'll pretend you were wondering...)

I discovered a new beverage. YUM!

Not to be confused with other Jager drinks...this stuff is actually delicious!

I like it. A LOT. In hot tea. Over ice with a generous squeeze of lime a splash of sparkling water. Holymotherofgod, it is really good...Perfect for this crazy weather we have in Texas during the "winter". (Where it's 85 one day, the next 33.)

Okay. No one call AA. It's alright. I'm not constantly thinking about Barenjager...that I'll ever admit to.

AND...I have another LOVE. A new, very heavy, very sharp KNIFE.

I cannot believe I have lived so long & never had a really good knife. I found my new 6" chef knife at Tuesday Morning for $19.99. It's a beautiful thing. I've never had such a sharp knife. Ever. For real. I'm telling the truth. I'd sleep with this thing if it weren't a bad idea. Wanna know the very first thing I cut with it???

Yeah??? Okay, it was a little green lime. I took a healthy wedge out of it...


...for my ice & Barenjager.

Oh! The shame I bear!!!!

Happy NYE!

Look I've relisted a good deal/holiday special:

And now to wax a bit about New Year's...I have never understood celebrating leaving the old year behind, ushering in the new. It just doesn't seem real enough of a holiday to have the day off.

Oh, don't get me wrong! I enjoyed having a paid holiday when I got them. I just never understood the reasoning for having it off. Obviously, it's nice for recuperating from a hangover. But it would make as much sense to me if we had Arbor Day off...

Which makes wonder...would Arbor Day be a champagne kind of holiday?

Oh who cares? I must check the bank account now & see if there's some champagne funds available. I do loves me some bubbles. (Of course!)

Don't forget to shop!!!
