Good Mood Blogger

In deciding to take things to the next level in my attempts at getting away from my job, not only am I working on my ArtFire and Etsy shops, but I've entered into the "Good Mood Gig2". Yes, it is a paying job.



The first round is narrowed down by you, the voters. The top 20 people with the most votes will move on to the final round from which the company will decide who will get the paying position for the next 6 months.



Now, it's up to you! Please, go view my entry and vote! Thank you for all for your support.  : )

Artfire Shop

While there is not much there at the moment, there is a few things there. I had a bit of energy last night and posted a couple of my jellies. Stop by! Say hi! Share the love.  : )

I love Artfire Pro! Now, I just have to find the time to figure out all what I can do with it! LOL I need to either find the time to make a matching banner and pic, or somehow convince my son to make me one using Photoshop CS5 that he just recently got.

New Jelly Flavor

After lots of trial and error, I have a new flavor of jelly to unveil at the October FEST in New Port Richey on Saturday, 10/23/10.

Any guesses? It's a blend of in season flavors. A bit on the sweet side, it is best on toast or crackers with cream cheese, or as a glaze on a roast, definitely pork, maybe chicken.

New Jar Sizes Coming Soon!

After talking to many people, I've decided that considering many of the flavors of jellies and jams that I make, cannot be bought in most grocery stores, and most people have not even heard of many of the varieties, I'm going to be making "sample size" jars to sell.  : )   Right now I'm shopping around trying to find a local source of 1.5 oz glass jars with canning lids so I don't have to worry about the outrageous shipping costs for the weight of glass. Prices will be set once I find a steady supplier at a good price. 

Keep your eyes open for the new sample sizes coming soon! Maybe even a sample size assortment variety pack for the upcoming holidays for gift giving.

It's that time of year!

All of the craft fairs and festivals, along with farmers markets are starting up again now that you don't die from the heat just stepping outside your door! : ) I don't know about you, but this 60* weather is spoiling me! I don't want to go back to 90* days...

It's time to start gearing up for all the upcoming events. I'm hoping to make it to a lot of events this year. I'm not sure how that's going to work with me going to school full time and working an average of 30 hrs a week. We'll see!

My 1st event for this season, is going to be New Port Richey's PumpkinFEST on October 23rd from 10am - 2pm. For those of you who come out, mention this blog for a 20% discount!!!

I'll be bringing my jellies/jams, soups, and baked goodies. Bring your appetites and some money so you can bring the goodies home! : )  Not only are they good to have, but they make great gifts and hostess presents! Just think, if you are going to a dinner or potluck, you can bring a crockpot of my soup heated up for the event, and bring an unopened jar for the hostess as a thank you!

Another group of items that I will be debuting at PumpkinFEST are my handmade fondant toppings. At PumpkinFEST, I will be bringing mostly Halloween themed items with a few general occasion. These can be used as a grouping on a cake or individually on cupcakes. Wonderful items to make your homemade cake WOW your guests! Plus, the fondant recipe I use, it not the "yucky" or "typical" fondant recipe. My recipe is actually YUMMY! Ask me for a sample at the event.
