Big Sister...Little Brother...

This has been on my mind this last week so I thought I'd make it my blog post for today...Most of you know how busy I've been promoting our new Etsy shop, DavesHomemade and believe me it is well worth it...Dave's candles are truly wonderful and absolutely the best smelling and burning candle you can buy...I am the most picky candle person there is...

I see DavesHomemade as the "little brother" just born into our craft family...He is getting so much love, energy and attention these days...Then there is my girl, DorsetHillBeads, she's the "big sister" and has been somewhat neglected in the fact that I haven't had much time to create new beads for her to display the last couple of weeks...I think she is beginning to feel the presence of the "little brother" in the family...

Just like my children, I need to find the balance between creating new beads and jewelry for DorsetHillBeads yet still maintain and run DavesHomemade while promoting both shops...

So the goal here is for DavesHomemade to bring warmth, joy, aromatic pleasure and peace to all who desire the comfort of an amazing candle...and...for DorsetHillBeads to give her customers something unique and creative to play with so they can create and enjoy beautiful wearable art, and to also provide those who like the finished jewelry that is unique and one of a kind...

Here's to siblings...MY BOYS...

Lovely Blog Award...I am honored...

It is time I acknowledge the 2 "One Lovely Blog Awards" I have received over the past month or so...I have to say I am not the "chain letter, chain blog" type but I am so honored to be recognized by my fellow bloggers that I can't pass this up any longer...

The award was given to me by two amazing artists...Dawn Montgomery, her blog FirstLightGlass is one filled with life, craft and love...Visit her blog, etsy shop and artfire shop when you have a chance...The second person to award me this honor was Felicia Kramer, her blog FeliciaKramer is awsome and fun with lots of bright ideas and cool posts...Visit Felicia's etsy shop AnotherBrightIdea, to see some beautiful art, photography and creative designs...

So I'm not sure how this chain works but I think I have to pass the award on to some of my favorite blogs...So here they are, a few of the many blogs that I just love to follow and give this award to...

Stop by and give these blogs some love and a peek...
