Business At Brightest Blessings Bonanzle Booth

Good morning! Today is January 29, 2009 and a beautiful day it is! The sun is up and shinning. It's warm again! Well, maybe not that warm, but a whole lot warmer than it has been. Not going near the pool anytime soon.

This little rose bush is just growing! This is the purple rose bush that mom gave me that was all but dead and this is a picture of the shoot. It is about three feet tall and all kinds of new growth. I am just thrilled with this little guy, can't wait to see what he has to offer this summer.

Had to fill the feeder again this morning. But what joy that brings! So many sparrows this morning. The doves have been ugly to one another. I am not sure what this is all about. Usually they could care less what is going on around them, just waddle around pecking at the ground, they have never been to the feeder.

Business has been picking up every week! Love my new home at Bonanzle. New business cards, magnets, return address and soon to have matching templates by Sharon at SNL Designs. Can you tell that I am excited? She is having issues with the code that is used on Bonanzle, when we view them, they look great, then all of the white shows up and that isn't there to start with. Hopefully Bill will come up with an answer or solution so that I can get my templates. Going through the are we there yet feelings. This is the ONLY thing that I miss about e-bay. These templates made my store mine. With my new OOak design, they will make my booth mine here at Bonanzle.

Checking Google Analytics everyday to see what is and isn't working to bring traffic to my booth. You would be so surprised at what you think is a good thing and working only to find out it is a complete waste of time not to mention sends that bounce rate sky high. So needless to say, I have changed my way of promoting my Bonanzle booth. Going to stay away from the sites that cause such a high bounce rate. So far I have brought my bounce rate down by almost 10% and upped my new visitors up to 31%.

WOW! It is pouring down rain! What happened to the sunshine? Although we need the rain that was a real shocker.

Going to get busy making those clay and wood Book of Shadows this morning. Excited out doing them again!

If you get a few minutes stop over and say hey! Would love to chat!

New Moon and Solar Eclipse Today! Brightest Blessings!

Good afternoon! Today is Monday, January 26, 2009. It is about 68 degrees right now with overcast. Time to fill the feeder again, a sparrow was trapped in there, they can get in but they can't seem to be able to find their way out.

My poor little confused miniature Japanese bush is confused. It is so unsure of the season. All summer is it green with lots of leaves, then the winter comes and no leaves, but look at the buds and flowers! I took this picture this morning.

Today is a New Moon, time to write those Abundance Checks and smudge your home. It is also a solar eclipse. There is nothing subtle about a solar eclipse. Look up your sign at astrologyzone.com to see what this solar eclipse has in store for you!

Colors for the week are:
Monday - Silver
Tuesday - Maroon
Wednesday - White
Thursday - Green
Friday - Purple
Saturday - Brown
Sunday - Yellow

If you are unsure how to write your Abundance Check, send me an e-mail at brightestblessingswiccans@comcast.net and I will send send you instructions.

I am still working on my templates for my Bonanzle booth, going slow. However I do believe that it is going to be well worth the effort when they are complete. The branding of my business is working out nicely. Very pleased with it indeed.


Tomorrow I will share with you my surprise and relief, my aura picture. If you have a few minutes and want to chat stop by my booth! Brightest Blessings!

Brightest Blessings Day With Grandson

Good Morning! Today is Sunday, January 25, 2009. The sun is peaking through the clouds this morning and it is supposed to get to the 70's today. Have to find out what kind of birds have joined in our little sanctuary this past week. There are two different ones that I have never seen nor my husband.

We went to get our aura pictures taken yesterday. Ms Kay has been doing our families aura pictures for the last few years. She is great will send out e-mails when she is coming to town. Still waiting for a group discount. This is the grandson's aura. An indigo child. These children are so misunderstood. Most of the time they wind up on drugs for Add or ADH. Treat them like an adult, challenge their thinking. Keep them active, no video games are not active.

We then got home in time to watch the live auction, done at Auction Wally's Bonanzle booth. We went to log in about five minutes till one and dang it man, no internet. There are not enough bad things I can say about Comcast. Their service is out more than on. On and off all day there is always an excuse for their poor service.

Anyway about one-thirty we finally got logged in and it was a thrill for him. He wants to "talk wike dat", he thought that was so neat. He kept saying how does he talk like that. This was his first auction, so that was pretty cool.

From the auction we went to rake the yard and burn the leaves. Needless to say that after the yard work he was ready for dinner. Then to make chocolate chip cookies, bath and he passed out.

Brightest Blessings!

Good Morning! Today is January 23, 2009 and the sun is shinning. It is supposed to get into the 60's today! The cardinals seem t be enjoying the sun this morning and playing with others nicely. The little sparrows have taken over the ground again, with a few doves waddling around. The squirrels are playing in the branches, like kids at the playground.

I have the honor of having my five year old grandson this weekend! He is at that fun age and loves to do anything. Ms Kay is here this weekend taking aura pictures, so I thought I would take him and go to get our pictures done. This of course will be his first and I will start him his own BOS for his pictures and time spent here at my house.

Business has been steady, nothing to complain about. There have been so many neat new sellers coming to Bonanzle. Just love the variety. One of my favorite Bonanzle booths is OctoberMoon's. This lady has the neatest stuff, things to make family memories. The old balsa airplane kits, fondue pot, games and craft books. She is a pleasure to work with, gets my order shipped right out and doesn't jack the shipping up.

Remember there is a new moon on Monday, so make sure that you have your smudge stick on hand to smudge your home and remember to write those abundance checks.

Have a wonderful weekend, enjoy the weather no matter what it is doing out there, make some family memories! Enjoy one another!

Brightest Blessings!

Good Morning! Today is Thursday, January 22, 2009. The sun is shining and the temperature is 14 degrees outside. Good news is it is supposed to get into the 60's today. The doves are walking into the yard to get their breakfast. The squirrels are enjoying the corn, while the cardinals are just watching the sparrows from the fence.

Still no word from Sharon about the templates. However, I did get my corn dollies finished and listed in my BrightestBlessings Bonanzle booth. So excited about that. Bonanzle has had a few changes this morning and for the better of the community. If you would like to read more you can at Bill's Bonanzle Blog.

The days are getting longer, as I was washing dishes last night, I thought that I was really ahead of schedule, it was still light outside. Then I looked at the clock, wow it is still day light. Spring will be here before we know it with all of the new growth, new beginings.

Imbolc is 11 days away! I decorated my altar to honor Brigid with lots of candles, in yellows, greens, white, pinks and pale blue, with a white and gold altar cloth. It looks so pretty, so bright and warm.

Come over and chat if you have time, would love to hear your feedback.

Good Morning! Today is January 20, 2009 and a very clear and chilly day. Running behind this morning, the phone will not quit ringing. Need to go and get more bird seed, have used close to 30 pounds this week.

Tried to get pictures yesterday of my corn dollies to list in my Bonanzle booth, the batteries were dead and the sun was not shinning. So this is one of my chores to get done today. Now if the wind will settle down, I may just be able to get some pictures.

I still haven't heard anything back from Sharon on my templates, no news is good news. I am really liking this branding. My e-mail business card looks good and was very easy to use. Just a heads up, if you order from Vista Print, you need to be using Internet Explorer to download your file, Firefox will not download it correctly.

Received the magnets and business cards which look awesome! Still waiting on the return labels. They are also the same design. Should be here soon really looking forward to putting everything together.

Working on putting together Ostara altar kits, ordered a few items yesterday. Very excited about putting these altar kits together. I decided that this was the year to add new items to my own altars, change them up. Something new......

Stop by and let me know what you would like to see in my Bonanzle booth or if you have a special request. Would love to chat!

Brightest Blessings!

Good morning! Today is Monday, January 19, 2009 and very foggy this morning. Not complaining, it is a little warmer today. The squirrels are binging off of the trees scattering the birds. One lone sparrow is sitting in the feeder. That little rose bush that was all but dead is thriving, even has new growth, which i half the size of the rose bush itself.

I did get my corn dollies made and will get a few of them listed today in my Bonanzle booth. I love to make these and can't wait for my grand children to get just a little bigger to teach them. My one grandson of five loves to spend the night. I get to keep him over spring break and am very excited about that.

He loves to keep busy, so I found these really neat wooden kits on Bonanzle to make. We are going to make two bird houses, two planters and a napkin holder. We also plan on getting the flowers planted and a vegetable garden in. So now I am looking for the good sets of rakes and hoes for the little gardener.

Colors for this week are:
Monday - White
Tuesday - Black
Wednesday - Topaz
Thursday - Crimson
Friday - Rose
Saturday - Blue
Sunday - Amber

If you have a chance to stop by my Bonanzle booth please do!

Brightest Blessings!

Good Morning! Today is Wednesday, January 14, 2009 and really cold here this morning. The weather man is calling for 28 and rain tomorrow, I don't think that is any longer considered rain at 28 degrees. The sun is shinning and the squirrels are really enjoying the corn this morning. The ground appears to be moving, so many sparrows. The cardinals have come and gone, the only ones left to eat this morning are the doves.

Got an e-mail from a friend late yesterday. Things in her life are "falling apart". After reading, I responded with, when was the last time that you smudged? Protection spells, oils, grounded yourself? Had time to meditate, had any "me" time?

I haven't heard anything back from her this morning, which means she doesn't remember when the last time was or she is really busy taking care of things that needed to be done before now.

It's funny how we forget our priorities. I would take bets that you don't for get to write that Abundance Check on the New Moon. However, to sweep your home of negativity or unwanted things, we seem to "forget" or just, and I love this one, "don't have time".

Now is the perfect time, it's January work on the protection of your family and loved ones. Make it a priority today to do. Yes you do have time, mark it on your calendar today and do it. Don't wait until your life is "falling apart" to do something.

Got a few things finished up last night for my Bonanzle booth so I need to get them listed and on to other things that have found themselves on the back burner lately. See we all need a nudge every now and again.

Got time to stop by and chat? Brightest Blessings!
