Happy Sales Person Day!

Today is Sales Person day. It is of note because well, as a small business owner, I am not only the boss but the Sales Team as well. Also, in my job that pays the bills until BC can, I work in the sales department. I'm not a sales person. but without them, I wouldn't have very much to do.

So happy Sales Person Day to all you all in Sales. It's a tough job, it really is.

It's MARCH!!

How did that happen? Do you know what else it is? It's National Crafting Month. I think that in addition to developing that new product line I have up my sleeve, that I will finish plying that yarn and knitting those fingerless gloves this month. BEFORE I start anything else.

What will you be doing?

A lazy little elf

Wow. Here I started out the new year intending to post here at least every week and I fell off within a month. That's ok, I forgive me.

Life gets in the way of our best intentions sometimes. And honestly? I've hit a bit of a creative wall. All I want to do is vacuum and mop the floor. Or at least I did last week. Sunday, I printed 200 pencils. I love playing with the imprinter. And this morning, I woke up with a brilliant idea. I love waking up with brilliant ideas.

It feels good to be excited.

Last week I had a pretty good blow to my momentum (which could explain the whole mopping thing) when my computer crashed. Tonight, I hope to either get it fixed or find out how much it will cost to fix it. My data is saveable. WHEW! I don't want to have to recreate everything!! Again!!

National Hot Tea Month? Why didn't you say so?

In addition to being oatmeal month, January is also National Hot Tea month. I waited until now to mention it so that I didn't steal oatmeal's thunder.

There's few things that I like more than a nice cup of hot tea. I usually drink caffeine free herbal, but I also like green (strait) and black with milk and honey.

During the summer, I can often be found drinking sweet tea, or iced peppermint, or, my favorite herbal over ice.

Are you a tea drinker? How do you like it?

Today is bubble bath day

If I made bubble bath, today would be an excellent day to send everyone some so that you too can take a bubble bath. But alas, liquid soap still scares me. Its an entirely different set of chemicals than what I normally stock. All that PH testing... So much easier to stick with bar soap.

I don't actually take bubble baths. Haven't had one in YEARS. I like bubble baths. They're fun. But I am a bath salt girl.

Why, you ask, don't I offer bath salts? well... um... last time I made them it was a disaster. I don't know if the oil went rancid or what but lemme tell you, it solidified and stuck to EVERYTHING. I had sticky spots all over for DAYS. I took several very hot soapy showers and I STILL came out sticky.

So until I figure it out, I'll get my bath salts elsewhere.

Enjoy your bath tonight!

January is What?

National Oatmeal month. Oatmeal is good for you. Unless you eat it like I do which is full of butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Or sometimes, just cinnamon and craisins. Maybe a walnut or two.

Many people ask me if I offer an oatmeal soap and, why not.

It's important to me to NOT clog your pipes and I figure that all the herbs already in Bubbly Creations soap are sufficient. This doesn't mean I never will, but I have to admit that it isn't very high on my priority list.

Watch your mail if you are on my mailing list! If you aren't, shoot me an email at gina.bubblycreations@gmail.com to get on it. I have all sorts of fun in store!
