New Release: Blueberry Lemon Handmade Glycerin Soap

Blueberry and lemon is definitely one of my favorite combos for treats (the foodie or soapy kind!), and that's what inspired this brand new glycerin soap! The scent of fresh ripe blueberries plus the scrumptious citrus smell of lemon... mmm mmm mmm! My mouth is watering is yours? If it is, head over to my online shop and grab a bar for yourself before everyone else does! This is sure to be like dessert at a family reunion - if you don't get a piece fast your cousins will beat you to it!

Health Update

Hey everyone!

I hope everyone's week is off to a good start.. can you believe it's almost over? I guess long weekends will do that (for us Canadians). For those of you who are connected with my person FB page you may have seen my announcement about the status of my health yesterday. For those of you who didn't, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia yesterday - and for those of you who are keeping track that's on top of having Ankylosing Spondylitis. I'm really run down right now and still have a lot of commitments this week to attend to so my online time might be a bit sparse. Don't worry about me though! I'll get 'er done and be back to my bubbly self in no time!

..p.s. did anyone catch that soapy joke? lol.. I'm too funny ;)

Q & A with Batty

Q: Do You Work On Etsy Full Time From Home? And if so how do you cope with working from home?

A: I'm working from home on my biz full time. I sleep during the day, and work all night long. It works a lot better for me. I wake up when my fiance gets home from work around 5 or 6pm. We have supper together and hang out for a bit - it's a great way to start the day. I check my email during this time and reply to anything urgent and leave the rest for later. When he goes to bed (any time between 8-11pm), I start working. I find it very peaceful here at night so it's a lot easier to work without being distracted... it also helps that before starting to work for the day I've already had my social time for the day and have done laundry or other chores with my fiance. I have a craft show or home show every weekend so the next day I take the day off and recover. Usually my "day off" isn't completely a day off because I still check emails, make deliveries, and fill any special orders I received during the show the day before, but these few little things during don't take me too long so it still feels like a day off :)
