New Listings

Today is Thursday, July 2, 2009. It is a pretty day, sun is shinning and a gentle breeze. A perfect day. Watching the squirrels playing this morning. They are quick little critters.

I was thrilled a couple of nights ago when Sharon of SNL Designs sent me this background to use on my Twitter page. She is such an awesome person and just so talented. A real sweet heart to work with. If you need templates,banners, or avatars stop by and see Sharon!

I did get me listings done yesterday and started working on the Samhain Altar Cloths. I do believe that I will have them finished up today.

This is "The Now" rag quilt tote that I had finished and listed yesterday. I love the colors! The wooden button cover I had bought a while back, it was a pin. I couldn't believe how well it matched the colors on this tote. So I removed the pin back and replaced it with a button cover clip. It is available in my Bonanzle booth.

Trying to get everything finished up today so that I can enjoy a three day weekend with family. Hubby will be off the next three days and I can't seem to get anything done when he is home. So I need to get busy.

Have a happy, healthy, productive day! Brightest Blessings!

Brightest Blessings Progress!

Today is Wednesday, May 6, 2009. The weather has been beautiful! Summer is here! This is a picture of the first bloom this year on my cactus. Has been a very busy week here, but a productive week. My website is all but done and I hope for it to go live today sometime.

I am excited about doing my own site. A lot of work, however I do think it is well worth it. Something that I should have done 9 months ago. Better late than never. LOL It will get easier the more that I work with it and see everything that it has to offer. I do have to that Sharon for all of her help! This whole thing wouldn't have came this far this fast without her! If you are needing web designs and banners be sure to check out her site.

Also finished up two Mid Summer Altar kits and got them listed too. They were fun to do, one is Sun Flowers and the other is daisies. Very summer!

Working on another tote that is going to be for the pink lovers. Also working on a couple of other projects too.

Colors for this week:
Monday Lavender
Tuesday Gray
Wednesday Yellow
Thursday Turquoise
Friday Rose
Saturday Blue Flower Moon tonight
Sunday Amber

My new site Brightest Blessings and of course my Bonanzle Booth, BrightestBlessings. Have an awesome day! Get outside and enjoy the weather and get into the dirt.

Branding Your Bonanzle Booth

Today is Monday, March 9, 2009. The sun is just starting to rise and a little cool out this morning. Today is going to be a great day!

I have finally finished completely redoing all of my listings with my new template from Sharon at SNL Designs. This lady has some kind of talent. She is with you while deciding on your look as well as after the sale. Her designs are hers. They are not clip art.

Thanks to Sharon my Bonanzle Booth is mine. Everything matches with one design. She made my avatar, banner, templates and business card design. She even went the extra mile to upload my design to Vista Print for me to make sure everything looked and worked great.

Business cards go everywhere with me and left everywhere I go. When mailing out orders I place my business card and magnet in the orders. The return address label also matches. Everything that has my name on it now is branded.

If you are a serious on line seller branding your business is very important. You want people to see your avatar and know who it is. You want them to get a package and see the return label and know who it is from. You want your business card magnet on their refrigerator for everyone to see. You want your business card in their wallet. You want them to see that design and know exactly who it is.

Sharon at SNL Desings will make your Bonanzle booth your own. She has made my Bonanzle booth Brightest Blessings mine. Just like having your own web site. Go for the OOAK banners and avatars. These are yours and no one elses. If you are not sure what you are looking for send her an e-mail. She is very creative, tell her your ideas and she will build your new look for you and only you. Thank you Sharon for making my Bonanzle booth mine! You are the best!

Colors for the week:
Monday - Gray
Tuesday - Black
Wednesday - Yellow
Thursday - White
Friday - Coral
Saturday - Indigo
Sunday - Yellow

There is a Storm Moon on Tuesday, March 10, 2009. Get those gardens going.
If you are out and about, stop in and see MY Bonanzle Booth, give me some feedback.
Have an awesome day, get out there and play in the dirt.
Brightest Blessings!

A Little Bonanzle Break

Today is Tuesday, February 10, 2009 and a beautiful day it is! The sun is shinning and a very slight breeze. The sparrows are just loving it.

Bonanzle has been running a little slow this week, so gave up on redoing my listing with my new templates that Sharon from SNL Designs has designed and worked so hard on. Bonanzle is getting yet another server update sometime this week. So after that happens I will try it again. Just gives me a chance to get some things finished up at the house. A little break.

Have one clay BOS almost ready and excited about it. Still working on my sewing, have had some major interruptions this week here at home. Might have a son moving back home, this economy has got to get moving.

So with that said, I know have to clean out the "spare" room. What a real job this has turned out to be. Nothing in that room can go into the shed, climate control. Have tons of tattoo stuff and all of the body piercing stuff that has to stay clean. The autoclave machine, the hot iron press, the tattoo guns all have to go into totes and stored somewhere else in the house.

Last night was just a beautiful night just an awesome Snow Moon. It was a little chilly, however it was a very clear night, some very good energy.

Colors for the week:
Monday - Lavender
Tuesday - White
Wednesday - Brown
Thursday - Green
Friday - Coral
Saturday - Blue
Sunday - Gold

Stop by my Bonanzle Booth and chat. Brightest Blessings!

Brightest Blessings Bonanzle Booth Is Getting A New Look

Good Morning! Today is February 1, 2009 and a beautiful day it is. The sun is shinning and the birds are singing. The squirrels are tearing up the feeder again this morning. Yesterday was a disaster as far as getting anything done. House full of kids, spouses, and grandkids. They arrived about 9:30 and left about 8:30 last night. Threw together a dinner of burgers and fries and the clutter of them all being here is unbearable. So needless to say my clay Book of Shadows are not finished.

Now don't get me wrong, I love spending time with them, but when you put that many people into a house it gets really small and the noise level soars. I am having issues with my voice and most of the time it doesn't get above a whisper. This seems to come and go, it is very annoying to say the least. They are all trying to do their taxes and I am trying to explain to each one of them, at the same time, what they need to do. Going ot have to get a whistle.

However I did get some great news last night when I logged into Bonanzle last night, when all was quiet again. Sharon from SNL Designs had my templates done! She was the high light of my day. I am so excited to get them. Now comes the work of changing all of my 100 plus listing over to the new templates. My Bonanzle booth is going to look like mine again!

If you are needing a banner, avatar or Bonanzle templates, SNL Designs is the place to go. Sharon doesn't leave you once the transaction is over. She has awesome step by step directions that she sends with the templates and is more than willing to help you. She has premade that you can purchase or get with her about and Ooak look. Her prices are wonderful, professional service all of the way.

So this week I will be working on changing out all of my listings to the new templates and my clay Book of Shadows. My goals for this week is to get both completed by Friday. If you would like to see the new template, I did do one listing last night when she sent it. You can see it here.

If you have a chance to stop over at my Brightest Blessings Bonanzle booth, please do. Have a Wonderful Imbolc!

Brightest Blessings Aura Picture An "Old Soul"

Good Morning! Today is January 28, 2009 and a sunny at times morning. Not complaining at all. It is supposed to get back in the twenties this weekend. Maybe the weather man will be wrong about this, it wouldn't be the first time. Let's hope so.

The squirrels are loving the sunshine. Playing on the limbs like little monkeys. The sparrows and cardinals are in the feeder and the doves are waddling around pecking on the ground. They just don't care, very funny to watch them.

This is my aura picture taken by Ms Kay. Tried to scan it, however the scanner is not wanting to work with me this morning. So I did the next best thing and took a picture of it. Still not the colors that are in the picture, but this is all I could figure out to do.

Anyway, this is the old soul aura. Here is what Ms Kay has to say:
The very unique configuration of colors in this aura are indicative of a "very old soul". This is someone who has completed all their karma and will move on to a higher plane the next time around. They are always surrounded by angels. These souls are in transition and are here to help others in transition.

I was at first stunned and then this calming came over me. It was almost like a relief to know. I was talking to Patti, the shop owner, and she told me that she had also gotten her "old soul" aura picture too.

You know, death is hard on the living, not the dying. The ones that are left here are the ones that hurt and won't let go. The dying are the ones that know they will not suffer any longer, either physical or emotional.

Am I afraid of death? No, I worry more about my husband, kids and grandkids that will not continue to grow and live their lives. My husband is still not comfortable talking about death, however it is something that is going to happen to all of us.

When I move on to the next realm, I want the family to spend time in the kitchen together, making the biggest Mexican feast they have ever been to. Lay out that spread of food, sit together at the table talk with one another and have fun.

I remember a poem, don't remember who wrote it but it says, "Remember yesterday, Dream about tomorrow, But live today!"

Today I am going to make a couple of my clay Book of Shadows. I haven't made any of them in a while and think it is about time. They are very time consuming, but well worth the time. I love mine, use it for my journal. These are a clay cover with a wooden back. Then of course I have an herb pouch on it with stones, not to mention it is purple.

I hope to have them finished sometime this weekend and listed in my Bonanzle booth, Brightest Blessings Wiccans . Sharon of SNL Designs, contacted me yesterday about my templates and I am so excited. She does such wonderful work, and very easy to work with. That girl has so kind of talent! Boy is that going to be a chore to change all of my listings to templates, however more than worth it, the results will be just super.

Merry Meet and Welcome To My Bonanzle Booth

Today is Friday, January 9, 2009. A beautiful sunrise this morning although a little chilly again this morning. The sparrows and squirrels have been enjoying the fresh seed. The doves are always happy to take what is thrown on the ground to them. I t would seem that the rose bush that I rescued from mom, is doing well. New growth and brilliant green just awesome.

Tomorrow is the wolf moon. Should be just beautiful if the weather doesn't change like it did last month. Last night was just breath taking, very clear and cold. Get those stones out there! Enjoy some quiet time, time to start making plans moving forward.

We tend to get lazy in our belief and practice until things start happening. This would be a wonderful time to work on protection for you and your family. I smudge my home every
new moon. Don't wait for things to happen before you start thinking when was the last time
I .......? I understand that life happens and sometime time is a real issue, however taking time
for the things that are important in our live has to become a priority.

Still no word from Sharon of SNL Design. I know that I have asked so much of her on this one that it might be a few days to make this happen. However, I know that she can do it. If you are looking to make your booth or store your own, make sure to stop over and see her. If you are unsure of what you are looking for, send her and e-mail and set up a chat time with her. I just can't say enough good things about this lady.

I now ship international and excited to be doing it. Will add that to all of my listings as soon as I start changing the templates. Don't want to do everything twice. If you have some suggestions or just want to chat, stop over at my Bonanzle booth. I would love to chat.

Brightest Blessings!

Merry Meet and Welcome To My Bonanzle Booth

Good Afternoon! Today is Thursday, January 8, 2009!
Oh what a chilly day it is here. Wind is blowing but the sun is shinning. Going to have to figure out how to fix this bird feeder so these crazy squirrels stop getting stuck in there.

Talk about customer service, I e-mailed Sharon of SNL Designs, yesterday about my avatar and she has already made and sent the new one with just my selling ID! This lady is just to kewl. As much as I hate to admit it, my son was right. She looks beautiful with just my selling ID.

This morning I woke up to find a new template that she has been working on for my Bonanzle Booth. She thought it was going to be to hard to work with. I did one listing with it, just to try it out and had no issues with using it. Sharon's instructions are really easy to follow, nothing is ever left out. So I am waiting ever so patiently to hear back from her. I am still so excited!

Stop by SNL Designs Bonanzle Booth and check out her already made items or get her to brand your booth for you. She is just super to work with! So many options to chose from. If you are unsure of what you are looking for, send her an e-mail and set up a time to chat with her in her Bonanzle Booth. You will be so glad that you did.

I am really excited about getting this to all come together. This isn't something that you can go into without any thought. Lots of time will go into just changing out your avatar not to mention redoing all of your listings. Getting your bussiness cards and return labels, e-mail business card all will take some time to get it together. It's like redecorating your house. Lots of work, but how exciting to do and then to see the final project finished.

My redirect link will go on all of my business cards and anything that the customer comes into comtact with. Why? Because I want my customer to find me quickly. If for some unknown reason somthing happens at Bonanzle, all I have to do is go in and change where I want my customer to land. This I had to learn the hard way.

Stop by and chat would really like to hear any ideas that you may have.

Brightest Blessings!
