Featured in Treasuries

I have so much fun snagging and creating treasuries and get excited when I am featured in someone else's treasury. So you can imagine my excitement when I discovered that I am currently featured in not one, not two, but THREE treasuries! Holy Spotted Cows! Thank you so much to those who have featured me.

Storybeader, one of my Etsyblogger buds featured my Kitchen Soap in her Treasury ~ Coffee Break.

Ciaffi has featured my Father's Day Special in their treasury ~ Dad.


Lusitania has featured my Sweet Serenity Soap in their treasury ~ Pretty. UPDATE 6/10/08 - So I have been told, this treasury made the front page. I was at work but came home to a lot of hearts, views and convos. HOLY SPOTTED COW!

Brabec Bulletin Anyone?

Have you read the April 2008 Issue of The Brabec Bulletin? For a several years now I have admired Barbara Barbec's enthusiasm, humor and insight into small business. She is a "home-business pioneer, industry leader and professional speaker since 1971"(quote taken from her website). I look forward to Barbara's regular email updates. This month she has written about "Looking at Your Life in an Exciting New Way". If you are wondering how to take your business to the next level, you are sure to benefit from Barbara's insight and wisdom that is spoken from personal experience. It helped me to take a look at my business with a renewed perspective. On Barbara Brabec's World you will find home business advice, craft marketing ideas, Life Lessons, and more. Barbara lost her husband in February 2005 and has a series of uplifting articles for widows and anyone who has or will soon lose a loved one.
