January Giveaway!

Ok here is my Giveaway for January! There is a Valentines Dish Towel, Serenity Rock, Calming Tea, a Coaster that gives off a scent when your coffee or tea is placed on it, a little Journal, and a bookmark! I will also throw in a Bath Fizzie in Rose Scent and another one of my fizzies for Cold and Flu Season! All you have to do is place a comment on this post! On Friday I will draw a name and ship it out. January can be a "blah" month for all of us so lets get something going to give us a little cheer and break from the wintertime blues! Heres off to a new Week! Comment away!

Rose Scented Bath Fizzies

Here they are! This is my final product, they include Kaolin Clay, Rose Scented Essential Oil, Epson Salts, Sweet Almond Oil, all kinds of natural ingrediants that are good for our skin. They have a real slight soft Rose fragrance. I'm going to make a bunch more of them for my upcoming presentation at work. My plan is to set up a little body care boutique and see how it goes. I think they look really good. Once you get the feel for it, its easy as heck to make them.

This Valentines Towel is going to be included in my Giveaway. I will be doing a post on that on Monday. Also included in that giveaway will be some samples of my new body stuff.

Its Friday, I dont know what I"m doing this weekend other than making my body stuff and hanging at home. We are heading into a deep freeze, gonna see wind chills of 30-40 below. I"m so not looking forward to that. In fact its scary. Cars dont run right and transporting children in this weather is quite scary to me. I havent quite figured out why in the summer we dont see above normal temperatures that often but yet in winter--we get these darn deep freezes every other week! If your cold like we are--stay warm! If your in a warm climate--Your one lucky duck!

Jan Giveaway Sneak Peek!

I'm going to have another giveaway myself! January is the always the month most of us rethink our lives--what do we want to accomplish this year, what do we want to change, what will we do differently, goals etc. Its a month of reflection and actions and even for some--non-actions.

I will tell you my goals--for one--I'm going to begin selling homemade body scrubs, lip balms and bath fizzes. I've been working on learning this for about 3 months now and have a LONG way to go--but I'm discovering how much I'm enjoying this and hopefully it will replace some of my full time income--as I plan to exit my full time job within a year or two. I simply want a piece of my life back...that is my biggest goal this year. I'm going to be a grandmother of 5 this summer and I dont want to miss any of it. I dont want to be tired anymore when I'm asked to help with the kids--or I dont want to be tired of camping and not go--when its one of my LOVES! I'm going to admit something here,,,I dont handle full time work very well,,, I just dont. I find the older I get--I cant balance like i used to. During the work week, I find its pretty much all I can do is work because once I get home, I'm just done. Part of it is the type of work I do, and part of it, is that my love has always been home. Sooo, 2009 is my transition from full time-into hopefully God willing, a part time job and a part time home based business. I have to earn money that is a given, but i plan on doing it differently.

Also, due to my childhood being so traumatic and other things in my adult life--I'm always been on a quest for peace and serenity. If I could describe myself to someone in one word it would be Serenity. Its something I crave and need so desparately. I cant see a picture with the words Serene on it and not want it--I cant see the word on something and NOT want it. Hence the rock in this picture. Sooo...my giveaway is going to be about Calm, Serene, Peace, and I will have gifts that nurture that in the business of our lives. This is a start..Calming Tea, and a Serenity Rock to place where you will see it--to remind you--STOP and embrace the moment, whatever that moment is!

January is a big month, a month of promise and desire! I'm excited for it!

Squawmama!

Merry Monday, My Giveaway!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! I did,,very relaxing PLUS I got a good part of our Christmas Shopping done and baldyman wrapped it all. Its nice to see gifts under the tree finally. We got about 3 inches of snow and as of later today we are under a pretty big Winter Storm Watch. Where I live--we are expecting anywhere from 6-15 inches of snow. I would say---we wont be going anywhere as of later today....and I'm thinking my work will shut down--so hopefully I will have a day off tomorrow!

This is a photo of my giveaway! It includes some chocolate from a company here in Milwaukee that makes the best candies. Quality Candy--their chocolate is very expensive-I beleive they order their chocolate from Africa and its a very good candy. I have a caramel in it, toffeees, chocolate creme and something else I forgot...(hey I'm 50). As for the meat sticks, our local butcher makes them and they are a huge hit around here. If your going to buy meatsticks--DONT go to the local grocers--NO--you gotta get them made by a butcher! These are honey flavored ham sticks...ummm..you do NOT know how bad I wanted to rip open the package and have 1. Whoever wins this--if you notice the package is taped, dont worry it was only me! I also have a believe ornament..because I now all of us believe in something and of course the cocktail napkins which have a great saying on them...i'm sure anyone would enjoy handing these out with a drink to celebrate the upcoming Holiday!

We will pull a name out by 12 noon on Friday and I will ship this out right away!

I also took a picture of the Baldyman in his penquin hat...I will post that either later today or Wednesday...I'm tellin ya--the man should be put away. I'm trying to convince him into putting his Santa shorts on and Christmas shirt to--he says he isnt to fond of being something to laugh at on my blog--OHHH come on, he knows its done in love!

Tomorrow the Thinking Girl topic is going to be Depression. I deal with it--I know others do...I hope you will all come back and share your thoughts on it! Have a great Monday. Let the Snow begin in Wisconsin!
