They Don't Call It Hump Day For Nothin!!!!

So here I am on a dead Wednesday night, and Pepper is breathing her Fancy Feast cat breath in my face (not a nice smell by the way). This is not a good week. I've started a new job that I'm having trouble adjusting to, and I have hit a serious creative block. This is so unlike me. My mind is usually flooded with ideas. They don't always pan out, but the fact that I have an idea is worthy enough. I'd really like to know how do you get over the creative hump? What inspires you when your mind is a total blank? I'll send the first 3 inspiring replies one of these soaps of your choice. Choose either mint or coconut with chocolate drizzle.

Flaming Special Monday!!!!

If today is Monday, then it must be time for the Flaming Special over at The Decadent Flame. This week's special is all about the shortcake. Buy any candle at The Decadent Flame and get a shortcake candle for free. You pick the scent: strawberry, blueberry, or bananaberry.


Spring is fast around the corner, and I'm whipping up some new goodies. Check my Etsy store every Saturday for new additions. Just added this week: shortcake and orange bowl candles-the perfect, quirky, unexpected gift for any Easter basket or place setting.

Etsy Splurges Saturday

It's Saturday, and I have not splurged yet. I am combing the hundreds of Etsy stores for something inspiring that I want to buy but right now I'm feeling "Do I really want that?" Do you ever feel like that? You see something really cute, and you say "Oh, that is really darling, but do I really want or need that for that matter?" Anyway, let's get to the good stuff. I have not yet received my earrings and necklace from loosewirestudio. I think it may be time for a convo. It's been a week today. Sorry, sister, I'm not trying to put you on blast, I'm just anxious, that's all. I'm sure it will arrive shortly.

I have, however, received my Lemon Bars from Noel Delights. Let me tell you: Christie does not dissapoint!!!! I swear I'm going to gain 20 pounds by summer if I keep buying her stuff, but I'm hooked! When my package arrived, it was carefully packaged, on ice, nonetheless. Of course I tore into everything, to get to the goods. Imagine my pure delight when I opened the container and found 6 ample sized squares of lemon-y goodness. Each one is drizzled in white chocolate and calling me: "Patrice, eat me." Yes, as the picture will show, there are only 5 bars left. These bars pack a powerful tart/sweet punch. They are so decadent that a few bites will really satisfy you, but if you're a pig like me, then you'll eat the whole bar. No, Christie is not on my payroll (although I wish I could afford to). I just love baked goods, and she is the bomb!!!
