<br />
As some of you may already know, Etsy is now allowing mass produced, manufactured items to be sold on their site starting January, 2014.<br />
Small artisans such as myself are already having a hard time getting found on such a huge site as Etsy but by allowing the "Walmarts" to enter into this realm it's going to basically bury the small artists/artisans and in my opinion, hurt the integrity of Etsy. As buyers, most of us go to Etsy to find one of a kind, unique, handcrafted or vintage items. Weeding through garbage in search of those gems is going to be very time consuming.<br />
<br />
This is why I'm slowly starting to build up my shop on Zibbet. Zibbet is an online marketplace that is commited to supporting individual artists/artisans. They have pledged that they will not sell us out by taking on mass produced, big box store items.<br />
<br />
Please help me in spreading the word about this wonderful site. By supporting this site you are in turn showing support for the art of handmade. ♥<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Solid Perfume Refill Instructions</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So your locket is looking a little empty? No problem, I have step by step instructions complete with images so that you can get your locket refilled in no time!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The process is very simple.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOBxwdmhNxYLRb9xjoRIAIsJx8ARqw0MdreAj3I0IyJdoxsm0af8MyPrbxXf9Xx4ZfPPbK9YOTZf7Q3R_YGIt9q-5Ydm3CZWxw4se3Ndz-LD_rESU2I3Lu1VCLYaZ01XLQH-dzSLS6chii/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOBxwdmhNxYLRb9xjoRIAIsJx8ARqw0MdreAj3I0IyJdoxsm0af8MyPrbxXf9Xx4ZfPPbK9YOTZf7Q3R_YGIt9q-5Ydm3CZWxw4se3Ndz-LD_rESU2I3Lu1VCLYaZ01XLQH-dzSLS6chii/s320/002.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 1: Take the vial of solid perfume I have sent you, make sure the cap is on tight and place it in a pan of simmering water. (The above photo showing my Brown Sugar & Fig fragrance is just for representation purposes, the same instructions apply to all my scents).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicwuSKH0Sss4nctqvNOHmRmeDyHGBedX92DxAYqHBmu8qiOIYDfGcO1jx50ow0yz9iNzWRQ0j8xTFh2aYeu-0AkVc-3Othr3UOjtBuTMyuYbwnPDaRkkb1bS7YqKxYY7vYQ66rNqYyZftY/s1600/014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="215" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicwuSKH0Sss4nctqvNOHmRmeDyHGBedX92DxAYqHBmu8qiOIYDfGcO1jx50ow0yz9iNzWRQ0j8xTFh2aYeu-0AkVc-3Othr3UOjtBuTMyuYbwnPDaRkkb1bS7YqKxYY7vYQ66rNqYyZftY/s320/014.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 2: Let the vial stand in the simmering water until the solid perfume becomes a liquid, approximately 2-3 minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 3: Have your locket prepared for refilling prior to removing the vial from the pan as the perfume will start to harden pretty quickly.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 4: If your locket is rounded on the back or does not open all the way in order for it to lay flat then simply place it on a tiny bed of rice or whatever other medium you prefer. You want your locket to be level so that the perfume fills evenly. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFggDEDOgo0XydRb69fsh2VAW4i7IqmFywuPQeY1KE5hiR5zBf4L-KHN2gKmR6uVj29qWS2sw-kRMOh2JwBYmeJdP6ergTCAizD12ukIKPCvcS3ANVPaZ9ktgCaaOHtReCKvfX3SysVKbQ/s1600/007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFggDEDOgo0XydRb69fsh2VAW4i7IqmFywuPQeY1KE5hiR5zBf4L-KHN2gKmR6uVj29qWS2sw-kRMOh2JwBYmeJdP6ergTCAizD12ukIKPCvcS3ANVPaZ9ktgCaaOHtReCKvfX3SysVKbQ/s320/007.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 5: Pour the liquid into your locket. If for some reason you should overfill your locket don't worry. Simply wait for the perfume to harden and then clean up around the edges with a toothpick. Always remember that you can refill the vial once the perfume has hardened if you want to start the process over at any time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 6: Here's a helpful tip, especially when working with smaller lockets. Use a toothpick as a guide when pouring the perfume in order to channel it directly where you want it to go.</div>

As I stated previously, do not worry if you have some over spill, just wait for the perfume to harden and clean up around the edges as needed. Enjoy!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Broccoli Summer Salad</u></span></div>
<br />
<br />
Ahhh, it's starting to feel like summer finally! I don't know about you but for me summer and food equates to lots of wonderful salads. I am always on the lookout for new salad recipes, I found this one the other day. Last night hubby grilled out bar-b-que chicken and I made a little potato salad and this new broccoli salad, it was a hit! The photo isn't all that fabulous but the taste definitely was, hope you enjoy it as well!<br />

Her work is so beautiful and she also has some fabulous whimsical pieces. My favorite right now is this adorable monkey hat. I wish I had a little boy in my life right now that I could buy it for! Head on over to her shop, you won't be disappointed!</div>

<span style="color: #171717; font-family: Helvetica Neue, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Another great DIY idea. This simple project is made by soaking cloth doilies in sugar starch and then forming it around a balloon. Once the starch dries, pop the balloon and you have a romantic tea light holder. Perfect for a romantic evening at home!</span></span></div>

I saved it so that every once in awhile I could read it and try to readjust my perspective and outlook on life.<br />
<br />
I hope it speaks to you as much as it did me :)<br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">There has been a whole spate of memoirs lately by young
mothers searching for meaning. They go
off </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">l</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">ooking
for happiness in yoga and personal trainers and spiritual gurus. These are intelligent women, women with fancy
educations who either don’t work outside the home or make a living as writers,
which is, if you ask me, pretty great when your kids are little.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">So why are these women so unhappy? Why are they trying to find ” happiness” in
home improvement projects and exercise and deep breaths? Not that there is anything wrong with any of
those things. But from where I sit,
these women are in the middle of the most wonderful years of their lives, and
they are wasting them whining. </span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">Believe me, I empathize with the trials of raising
children. I remember being so tired I
couldn’t think straight, feeling like I had not a minute to myself, wondering
what happened to the woman I used to be.
I spent years worrying about money after getting divorced, worrying
about how to provide a secure home for my children while I was trying to figure
out how to pay the mortgage. I love my
children more than life, which gives them the power to hurt me like no one
else. Being a mother is not easy.</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">But there is a reason why women who have everything in
the world want children even more. There is a reason why we keep giving up
promising careers and pursuits we love to be mothers. We say we are doing it for our children, but
let me tell you the secret, as one who was once there: We do it for ourselves. We do it because, for all its pain, being a
mother with their children in her arms is the very best thing in the world, or
at least the best thing I ever found.</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">
</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">The problem is that it doesn’t last forever. A mother, my friend Annie, says, is always
only as happy as her least happy child.
I want happiness and good health for my children far, far more than I
want them for myself. You don’t love your children any less as they grow older,
but you do come to realize, painfully sometimes, that they don’t belong to you
. They have a right to their own lives,
and a parent’s job is not to hold on, but to let go.</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">
</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">Now that my children are grown, I’m ready to look for
some other source of (lesser) happiness,
and I’m happy to take inspiration from anywhere I can find it. My favorite are the books by older women, who
have the perspective of life’s joys and losses, something I have learned
painfully over the years. But frankly,
many of them are just too sad. So I pick
up the memoirs of the young mothers, figuring there will be fewer deaths and
tragedies in them. Any they are not nearly as sad. But they make me want to shake their authors.</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">Why do you need a “happiness project” when you have a
husband who loves you, plenty of money and two beautiful and healthy
children? Why do you need to “escape”
your family when, before you know it, they will be gone? Did someone tell me
this 10 or 15 years ago? Maybe you just
can’t hear. But in case you are one of
those mothers and your reading this, let me try: Wait until your children are my children’s
age. I promise that you will look back
and realize that heaven was right there in your house, right there looking at
you.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">O.k., I'll admit it, I'm a hand soap snob! There, I said it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am an addict for fabulous smelling and looking hand soap. Nothing</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">makes me happier than washing my hands after getting my haircut at the Aveda salon in my town. They have THE most fabulous Rosemary and Mint scented hand soap but at $17.00 a bottle for 8.5 ounces I just can't bring myself to purchase it. Not only because I think it's insanely overpriced but I also have a 16 year old who uses about 1/4 cup every time he washes his hands!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This dilemma made me take matters into my own hands, no pun intended.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I decided to make my own scented hand soap for a fraction of the cost.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's quite simple. All you need is some UNSCENTED liquid soap, available in a ton of different brands and colors.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You will also need to purchase some essential oils, choose whatever fragrances you like best or better yet, experiment with combining scents to make it uniquely your own.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First pour the liquid soap into whatever container you want to use.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Leave some room at the top for the appropriate amount of essential oils.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The amount you use will determine how much liquid soap you are using and your own personal preference. Just remember, concentrated essential oils can be quite strong so go easy at first, you can always add more later.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once you add your oils shake well and voila, you now have your own scented hand soap for pennies on the dollar!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Enjoy!</span></div>

DIY Mini Book Necklaces with Charms. I have posted 3 or 4 mini book jewelry tutorials and I keep saying, “Oh, this is the best one.” But this is my favorite. Clear instructions, love the grommet closures tied with leather, love the keyhole. For the tutorial and other ideas go to Art by Wendy here. I got a GC to Michaels and will get a crop-a-dile using coupons of course.

<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Are you going to be sporting this latest trend?</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><br /></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Colored pants.... this look takes me back to my high school years in the early 80's, I don't see myself repeating the trend, mainly because I don't have pencil thin legs and this isn't an area on my body I like to highlight, lol!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">From the royals to celebrities, this look is hitting the streets this Spring, here's a sneak peak of how it's being worn and by whom.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Kate Middleton, can she not look good in something? She wore these bright tangerine jeans to visit Great Britain's hockey team last year and the fashion world took notice. She did a great job pulling off the look with style and grace and in the process, making the trend an instant hit with the world's fashionistas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Recognize any of these familiar faces?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<img alt="Popular Celebrities Sporting Colored Denim" src="http://reneesadvice.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Popular-Celebrities-Sporting-Colored-Denim.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> As you can see from these images, the color spectrum is vast with this style. While the tangerines and pinks have been popular as of late, the other colors such as blue, green, yellow, etc. are starting to pick up speed. If these colors aren't bold enough for you, no worries, they are also available in patterns.</span><br />
<img alt="The Spectrum of Colors Is As Wild As Your Imagination" src="http://reneesadvice.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/The-Spectrum-of-Colors-Is-As-Wild-As-Your-Imagination.jpg" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now for some tips on wearing these the right way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you are going to choose very bright or neon colors then keep the top half plain. good contrasting colors are navy, white, black, brown and grey.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you want to make the look a little more sophisticated finish it off with a well-cut tailored blazer.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Nude toned shoes work great with this look but don't be afraid to experiment, just keep in mind, the simpler the better.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Some color combinations can be a bit much such as black and yellow, cute bumblebee is not usually the image one wants to project.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Keep that in mind for orange and black too, a bit Halloweenish.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The most important part of this is to go with what you feel the best in, let's face it, confidence is the greatest look of all!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hurry up Spring!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This past summer we had a pergola built in our backyard. I am so anxious for Spring to arrive so I can start tweaking my little oasis! I think having an outdoor room is such a treat and a fabulous way to enjoy the weather when it's nice. It's also a great place to entertain, who cares about spilled red wine!! :)</span></div>
