Christmas Baking

A busy day of baking, baking, baking! I just finished seven jars of homemade caramel sauce. Now I am getting ready to make a pineapple cake! Fortunately I have only had to go into work this week for about a couple of hours a day. This has really helped me to catch up on things. I am certainly looking forward to some down time though so that I can relax and enjoy stitching a few new sets of cookies~;o) And finally, I did decide to have a quiet grand opening of my new etsy store last night. Please stop in for a visit when you get a chance: http://southernbliss.etsy.com I hope you all are enjoying the Holidays! Until next time!

Retro Flourish Tags

Good evening Friends! Just checking in to say hello and also share my newest tags with you! I REALLY LOVE the way these turned out! They remind me of a kitschy kitchen~;o) These are great for scrapbooking and embellishing gifts with! I will be adding them to the Southern Bliss etsy store soon! Yes the same store I have been mentioning for the past two month but not listed anything in yet~;o) I miss working my old part-time hours *insert sigh* I am hoping to create and post some more fun color scheme layered tags soon! Stay tuned!

add one more to the list of manias.....

Here's another peek at my latest mania! Though it is closely tied with my other new obsession for photography~;o) Another new mania you say? I promise it is the last one people, okay no wait....I take that back~;o) It happened during my recent new love for traveling. I have decided that the best souvenirs during my ventures are captured on camera~;o) (psst hey friends....translated this means she's cheap!) So now I am currently looking into upgrading my digital to a professional one. Any suggestions? Right now I am leaning towards a Nikon D50. Does anyone have one of these? What are your thoughts on it? Any SLR will also work. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Come on all you photography gurus, I know your out there and I need your help! I'm all ears.....

More Paper Goods~;o)

Project Southern Bliss has been such a SUPER SLOW process friends! Between work and all my other gazillion manias I still haven't had a chance to list anything in the shoppe. On top of that Sunny Florida has been gloomy and cloudy for the past few days, not that I mind one bit~;o) It is such a nice change from the hot, humid, and dry scenery lately. I will say this though, I totally understand how completely frustrating that photographing items can be on these kind of days for those of you that live in areas that are like this year round. On a happy note though, beautiful photos are still possible with the help of a homemade light box~;o) The photos posted above were taken on a gloomy day and are courtesy of my homemade lightbox! Want to make your own? (Click Here) It is definitely worth making compared to spending $35+ people. As for my lovely tags and tissue paper flowers, I am hoping to get them into the shoppe by the end of this week. Thank you for looking and keep an eye out for them!

A busy start...

to the Autumn Season indeed! Happy Fall Ya'll~;o) Yes I know it has been a while, no I have not been in hiding~;o) I just recently received a wonderful job offer at a new Early Childhood Facility! I have been very busy with the transition and haven't had the time to write much, I am really hoping to blog more this season though. After much consideration I have decided to take a break from school. I really need one! No I am not quitting, I will eventually continue to persue my Bachelors, I'll keep you posted~;o) I have also decided to move my handstamped jewelry formerly known as (Southern Bliss Jewelry) over to Studio Bebe Boutique, the big move will take place as soon as things in the work world calm down. Southern Bliss Jewelry will simply become "Southern Bliss" a destash store and paper goods store. Yes I have added a couple of more new manias to my expanding little studio! These new manias include: Home/Party Banners, Tissue Paper Flowers, and Gift Tags. I have included a couple of pictures to show you what I've been up to and what will eventually make it's way into my Southern Bliss Etsy shop. I am hoping to open the store late October if not sooner, we will see~:o) Until then my good friends, stay tuned!
