Insomnia is a..

I woke up at 2:30am and I'm still awake.  It is now 4:18am and birds are singing.

The good thing about being awake right now is the work I can get done without anyone else trying to talk to, distract, or climb on me.

 I also woke up to a feature in an absolutely gorgeous treasury that I'd like to share with you.

Pretty right?  I love color inspired lists.

 ..I think I've conceded to staying awake, I'm going to go make some coffee.  It's going to be a long day, hopefully it's a good one! I've got some packages to mail and some crepe paper to buy.

Have a great Monday everyone!

Dropped the Ball...

Well, I dropped the ball, I know I did..  I made a promise to type every single day in June and I missed yesterday; for good reason, though.  Olivia threw up a few times the other day, but seemed fine other than her tummy hurting so I assumed she just ate something that didn't agree with her. I was wrong.  Joe and I caught whatever she had, but it seriously only lasted 1 day.

 Other than that, I've had a great week.  Things are starting to come together regarding Olivia's birthday party, I've gotten everything almost completely organized for my garage sale tomorrow, and my shop has been doing pretty well despite my lack of promoting it.

My shop has consisted of Lip Balms, Body Scrubs, and Lotion Bars this past year, but lately I've expanded.  I now offer tinted Mineral Lip Shimmers and Hand & Cuticle Balm Sticks, but I'm thinking of making a "pregnancy line" of citrus & minty lotions and scrubs.  My poor feet and calves hated life during the last few months of my pregnancy and minty lotions definitely helped, so maybe some organic minty lotions will be of interest..? Any thoughts on this mommy bloggers?

Small Business Showcase

I am starting to think that Hashtag Monday is destined to not exist. I'm not a fan of the trending hashtags today.. I'm going to start searching for a linky party that has topics I like for Monday. Does anyone know of a good linky party to join?

Until I figure out what Mondays are for sure going to be, I'm going to use them to showcase some of my favorite small business owners.

Here are a few collections of gorgeous handmade and vintage items that struck my fancy today.
