Peppermint WAKE UP Soap from My Birch

I received my Peppermint WAKE UP Soap from Katie over at My Birch today. I opened the package and instantly smelled the peppermint! Mmmmm!!! It was wrapped up nice and neat and also included a sample of Apple Mint soap, which I wanted to eat but Katie suggested I use it for my skin, not my tummy! I'm telling you, it smells good enough to eat! I may have to order some of that when I'm done with my peppermint soap. I was a little leary of using homemade soap because of my eczema but I had no problems with it. It didn't dry my skin out like regular bar soap does. So a big THANKS to Katie for making such wonderful soap. You definently have a repeat customer!

Twilight - Cullen Crest Leather Key Chain from Creative Rampage

Yay! My Cullen key chain came in the mail today from Amanda at Creative Rampage. What a wonderful transaction this was. I had placed the order but an emergency came up and Amanda was going to be out of town for a week or so. She promptly emailed me and explained the situation. She offered to either ship the item out once she got back and also offered me one of the handmade bottle top pendants or cancel the sale, no harm done. Not only do I love the key chain, but she also sent a Mrs. Cullen pendant! Both were packaged in a great little drawstring organza bag. Love it! Not many businesses go out of their way to make customer service a number one priority these days so hats off to Amanda! She went out of her way to make this customer a loyal one!

Head over to their etsy shop and check them out!

Equine Art By Cindy Price

My love for all things equine has brought me to Cindy Price. I would love for her to do a custom piece of Pride and Skip but that will have to wait. Here is what Cindy has to say on her Etsy profile:

Cindy has always felt a connection with horses. Even when she was a girl she would draw horses. She is a 2001 honors graduate of the Center for Creative Studies in Detroit with a Bachelor of Fine Arts.

She lives in Bellaire, Michigan, and enjoys being in nature and interacting with all animals. In her work she strives to capture the spirit or soul of each individual animal making the artwork come alive. Horses have been her favorite subjects but she also focuses on dogs, birds, deer, or any animal that might catch her fancy. Cindy also specializes in custom animal portraits, working from photos of the pet. Cindy works mainly in pastel because she loves the feel of it, the softness she can achieve and also the ability to move it around on the paper without any brushes to get in the way. Cindy has been attending art shows and selling her work since she was thirteen years old. She is now an internationally collected artist. She has won numerous awards, mostly for her paintings of horses - her favorite subject.

"Ready & Willing" won 1st Place Drawing in the Exe Equinus Art Competition put on by Art Horse Magazine. Dec. 2007.
