WOW Me Wednesday...

Good morning readers...I wanted to share with you the EtsyTwitter Team Shop of the Week...Becki Krska, of AmbientLights.etsy.com ...She creates some very cool items for your Bath and Body...From goat’s milk hand and body oval soap bars (dye free) and goat’s milk Soap on a Pouf, which is similar to soap on a rope but it's on a shower pouf!...She also carries Natural Lip Balms (both flavored and unflavored), and Hair and Body Mist with Aloe and Vitamin E...But the coolest thing I've seen in her shop are the Sink Freshners...Take a look at her shop, you might find something for yourself or a gift for someone special...


“My inspiration to create comes from within. I have always enjoyed crafting and creating things; it's a part of who I am. I love the satisfying feeling of making something with my own two hands. For me it's thrilling and exhilarating to create items. It makes me feel good! Also, I always smell great because I spend so much time around fantastic fragrances, that's a good thing!”

Tuesday's Treasure...Family...

It isn't often that we get together with my sister and her husband...Seems when my mom is in town or a special holiday or occasion...We always have the BEST time, laughter, reminiscing about old days, chatting about new things to come, family and anything else that comes to mind, even the hard stuff...
So here's to a fun time had last night...

Take a Look...Here we are...

This week the EtsyBloggers Blog Carnival is hosted by Edi from Memories for Life Scrapbooks ... There are two questions to this week's Carnival but I'm going with a little of both...

1) Show your face! I love to know the artist behind the work. Show us a picture of yourself and talk about your work, life...whatever. Interview yourself if you like.
2) Okay...so you don't want to show your face...show us your studio instead. Where do you create? Do you like it/want something different? What is your favorite part about where you create?
Our Faces:
Dave













Eileen
Happily married for almost 22 years and going strong...We have 2 wonderful boys and a really good bulldog...Enough about us...

We both create in our home studio(s)...My area is in our add on room (florida room as some people call it)...Combination play room and my studio...Dave's candle studio is the dining room and kitchen...He's very neat when he creates and always cleans up his mess, unlike me who has stuff all over my section of the room...
Dave would love to have a dedicated area to create his candles and store his supplies...One day he hopes to have his own factory, filled with Dave's Homemade Serenity Candles and all the stuff that goes into creating them...
Eileen likes her little studio although she wouldn't mind it being a bit bigger, like the WHOLE room with lots of storage, tables and workspace...
So here are pictures of ...

We hope you enjoyed your Tour...

The ANSWER to last Thursday's Theme - Sept. 17


Last week's theme is something I think we all strive for in our lives...Between work, family, school, activities and working at our talents we sometimes find it hard to achieve a healthy balance in our daily lives...At least for me, I know that sometimes my life feels "out of balance" and what I need to do is to focus on taking care of me first...How on earth can I take care of others who I love and care for so much without taking care of myself...I could go on and on but I will stop here with one simple word...

Stay tuned for today's NEW Theme for Thursday...

THE ANSWER - Last Week's Theme for Thursday 9/10

So I admit, I never knew what this was all about until I travelled to New Mexico and bought an ornament for my bathroom...I grew up back in the "hippie" days and took my place that suited me in the natural, flower power, care free time...Enough of that...My point being, I love the Grateful Dead, and still do...Guess you could call me a "dead head"...So my passion for Skulls and Roses came natural...
Back to New Mexico...So this ornament was a tile with...well let me show you...


the shop keeper explained what all of these awesome skull things were all about...That's when I learned about...

Happiness...

"Tell everyone you know: "My happiness depends on me, so you're off the hook." And then demonstrate it. Be happy, no matter what they're doing. Practice feeling good, no matter what. And before you know it, you will not give anyone else responsibility for th e way you feel—and then, you'll love them all. Because the only reason you don't love them, is because you're using them as your excuse to not feel good."
