Well, I survived through another crazy busy holiday season.  Thank you all for your continued patronage and to all my wonderful repeat customers that keep spreading the word about my products.  You all are wonderful!  I plan to develop some new molds for by bottles this year, so check back here or in my shop for some new stuff in the next few months. I also wanted to let you all know that I am

Business has been hopping this 2011 holiday season. Sorry I haven't had too much time to update this blog lately, but I guess in this case being too busy is a good thing. :o)I have been recently featured on a great eco-friendly blog called Lynn's Mix in a feature called "Browsing Etsy for Upcycling."

I haven't had much time lately to post on the blog. I've been busy building up inventory for the holiday rush and it is truly in full swing. I am still able to get most orders out within 24 hours or less, although it has not been easy. :o) Sales this holiday season have been the best to date.The NBC affiliate in South Florida wanted me to come to the studio to do a spot on great holiday gift

For months now I've been stumped about what to do with some really great bottles that friends and family were bringing me, but they just lost their personality once the kiln got hold of them. Such a shame! They would make the perfect addition to a bar, rec room, man cave, office, dorm room, bachelor pad, etc. Wouldn't they!?! Light bulb moment! (pardon the pun :o) Make lamps out of them!!

As more and more customers have tried my vegan pine tar handcrafted soap scented with pure lavender and vanilla essential oils, they have really started to fly off the shelves. Many of my customers say it has been a God sent and buy multiple bars at a time to make sure they don't run out. :o)Due to the high demand of the pine tar soap, soon I will also have a new scent of this best seller.

Kilns have been cranking 'round the clock, camera working overtime, and fingers a little sore from wire working, but LOVING IT! Those recycled wine bottle items I have been making lately are going like hot cakes. I can barely make them fast enough to keep up with demand. Friends are having a hard time keeping up with my empty bottle demand. LOL!! Might have to find some recruits to help out

My daughter is back in school and it's back to work. The kilns have been firing regularly and my creative juices are flowing! I will have lots of new offerings in my shop very soon.I have been experimenting with recycled bottles, so be on the lookout for some really cool cheese boards, appetizer serving trays, and spoon rests. I've got some firing right now. No pictures yet, but stay tuned.

I know times have been a little tougher this year for everyone. Thank goodness the gas prices have eased up a little lately, but everything else is still pretty darn pricey compared to last year at this time. I know one person cannot fix the economic problems we are all facing, but I'd like to do my little part to hopefully make the holiday gift giving this year a little easier on my customers.
