New Years Resolution - Not really - Blog Carnival

In all honesty, I generally don’t make specific “New Year’s Resolution’s”. I choose instead to consistently set tangible goals throughout the year that I want to reach. Often times at the end of the year I reflect on my past experiences, my progress made and take an assessment if you will of where I am so that going into the new year I can see if I am still headed in the right direction. For me for sure in 2009, I want to be focused more on “Going Green, building a business around it and I also want to focus on my ministry. I really want to help more people to understand who God is and to be used to help people move towards a closer relationship with Him.

UNIQUE COMMODIITIES

What in the world?!?!

Ok I am a little late sharing this but today has been a crazy day! It was a crazy week last week with a speeding ticket on Monday (no job) and a car accident on Wed (my fault) and then my son gets a ticket on Saturday night and then to top it off Sunday I lose my dog on keys (yes the whole set)! I can’t find them ANYWYERE - WHAT IN THE WORLD?! I have been borrowing a friend’s car as my new car keys (to the tune of $48) per BMW dealership won't be delivered until Thursday! Go figure!

Well to make things so much better, I found $45 that I hid from myself while looking for my keys so that paid for the replacement car key at least! And what is just as exciting is on Blockhead Rod's radio show last night I won TWO prizes with the most exciting prize being 12 months of free advertisement for a whole year on Blockheadradio’s new website AND I won a WOOT button from the King Plugger Lugger. It was hilarious to see Agoodwitchtoo teasing everyone in the chat room by giving false alarms for the key to call in to win! When Huckleberry Arts finally posted the key phrase to call, I was on it! I was also encouraged that Fluttering Designs shared about my win on her blog! I absolutely love the Pluggers United Team for their “Pay it Forward” and helping hands spirit!

I am most grateful that in spite of all the challenges of the past few weeks, I have undoubtedly received some great kisses!

Christmas spotlight featuring “Stormy Designs”

~Business Card Couch~

So as soon as I saw the option to choose your favorite gift idea in someone else's shop. I almost IMMEDIATELY knew I wanted to feature Stormy Designs incredibly creative Business Card Couches! I have never seen a more unique business card holder than these and hope to purchase mine very soon! Each of Stormy Designs business card couches is meticulously handcrafted from sturdy polymer clay and is made to hold standard sized business cards. You can even request a custom order business card couch (you can choose up to 4 colors)! How AWESOME is that?! I am thinking I might need Stormy Designs to create me a couch big enough to sit on! WOW - that would surely be a lot of clay! LOL!

~Business Card Couch~

No doubt this would be a unique Christmas gift for anyone especially since you can just use the couch as décor! Hey just get Stormy Designs to make a mini couch to match your living room couch! Now wouldn’t THAT be a great conversation piece?!

Check out her awesome Blog too!

Quote for the day!

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.

Back down memory Lane!

Well I kept thinking what am I going to blog about today! I felt so aimless today! I guess that is what unemployment will do for you. I have surfed the net for the past hour and just have been in a complete fog! I started looking through my pictures and came across this high school graduation pic from my year book! So here is to going back down memory lane!

Featured Etsy Blogger of the month - Spotted Cow Soaps

I am most encouraged that the Awesome Spotted Cow Soaps aka Miss Moo is our featured Etsy Artist of the week!

Spotted Cow Soap says “ I am a fragrance junkie and I peddle my soaps and skin loving goodies to support that habit.” Spotted Cow Soaps had been formulating and selling homemade natural soaps for over 8 years. What started out as a necessity to cure skin issues of her own has grown into an obsession and love for handcrafting great smelling soaps that leave your skin saying..."THANK YOU!"

Spotted Cow Soaps also creates hand crochet bath accessories, gifty items and more.

! I have personally used a number of her soap items and her soap is wonderful. It leaves my skin feeling soft and supple! Check out her Shop and no doubt you won’t need to go much further to fill up your stockings and meet all your shopping needs! Try it and NO DOUBT you will lov

e it and be a repeat customer.

Ain't It Awful?

Now who says that? You guessed it! The keep you laughing Block Head Radio Show co-host A Good Witch Too! Love her to pieces! The show on Monday night was awesome! Those two hours went by so very fast! We got to hear from Linda of LDPhotography but as we tend to do, she shared far more about her passion of working with children with ADHD than her beautiful photography! We all learned a lot. How does she find time to do it all? Someone in the chat room kept typing “Butt Bubbles” (was that you Tilt?) so poor Rod had to keep playing that horrid sound – LOL!

We sang Happy Birthday with the most hilarious song to A Sew Happy Designs and acknowledged Roseworks Jewelry and Unique Commodities birthday! Uhh does anybody remember what Sew Happy reported about - LOL? I was too busy goofing off in the chat rooms (sorry Sew Happy)! Tulip’s Treasure Box won the Fast fingers shout out! Woot to TulipT! Fluttering Designs won the week’s give away (a gorgeous ornament) provided by The Magic Sleigh.

Be sure to join the new group on Yahoo started by Block Head Radio! It will be a great way to market/socialize with fellow artisans and the awesome Huckleberry Arts is running the site!

All in all it was a phenomenal show and if you haven’t joined yet then you are missing out on the most exciting radio show in the history of radio shows!
