It's only been a few days since the last time I posted which is better than my past breaks lol.
To be fair I was working on orders. With the holidays coming I'm getting more personalized orders and I love making them.
I made the lip gloss. It's fairly simple to do but I'm still waiting on a review of it. I don't want to think I have something good and sell it then it turn out to suck.
I haven't been able to get the candles started up again yet but I will. Maybe for Christmas.
I'm thinking of selling my pumpkin snickerdoodle bread that I've been making. It's more pound cake and so good. That I already have good reviews on lol :)
For Christmas I want to sell the hot chocolate mason jars. It's an idea that I wanted to do last year but again money and time were against me. Hopefully not this year.
I have so much I want to do and not enough time or money lol.
I did my ride along on Monday and I really need to do more. I know a lot of it was probably in my head but I just felt like I was in the way. I really need to shake the rust off and just get back into it. I'll probably apply by the first of the month.
In the few days I haven't been on here, I have finished all three of Amanda Lovelace's Women are a Strange Magic books. I think that's the name of the set but I'm not sure. I just know that she's a good poet and very inspiring and empowering.
I started Crave by Tracy Wolff. I loved the first two books but I squirreled the last time I read them because I didn't have the whole series. Now that I do, I can't wait to dive back in. Time is just short lol.
I haven't even started another puzzle. I have it sitting on the puzzle board but not even touched. I'll get to it at some point lol. I don't think I've bought any new puzzles this year so the dent, small but sure, stays intact lol.
What has everyone else been up to? I'm trying to fit Mylot in first thing in the morning so I have time to talk to people lol.

@allknowing Thank you. I think it'll keep being slow for a while because of the location but I'll get there. I have EMS until then :)

Your pumpkin snickerdoodle bread certainly sounds delicious and I bet it would be a big seller. Your ideas for Christmas sound like items people would definitely be interested in. Hope you can get the review on your lip gloss so you can get it into your shop. Best of luck with all your ideas

Thank you!! The bread turned out so much better than I thought it would when I made it and it's a hit with my friends so I'm hoping other think so for fall. I'm really excited about this small expansion lol

You've been very busy. I hope you make a lot of sales. I've been changing email addresses; and today I have a routine dentist cleaning. Have a good day.

I make a lot of things and keep expanding it lol. My fingers are crossed about the lip gloss. I'm about to gift a small tube to a friend for her birthday.
I always write about books. I make time to read every night but with everything going on there's not as much time as there used to be. I do still make time for it though.
I hope you find the presents you want! I'm starting to do that as well.

@aureategloom It really is. Before he joined the Fire Department, I was reading three to five books a week. Now I barely have time but I wouldn't change a thing.

@JordanLader "i always write about books" - that's how i remember you
i try to make time for reading every day. it's much easier when you don't have any responsibilities
