My Heart's All Aflutter.....

My heart's all aflutter with new Valentine ideas. I have had such a nice week playing with fabric and trim and vintage images making Valentines for you. I felt like I was back in grade school with my scissors and glue finding the just perfect addition to my card. It has been so cold outside, this was the perfect way to spend the days. Come on over to Patricia Rose and see what I have created! Some pretty ruffly sachets and pillows make perfect gifts for Mom or Grandma.

Do you have any special traditions that you share with your Sweetie? I'd love to hear about them. Valentine's Day makes me remember a commercial from years ago, it must have been for an antacid. But it was a new bride who was so proud of her marshmallow filled heart-shaped meatloaf. Just remembering it still makes me laugh. I'm also dating myself!

While we are thinking of caring and love, please remember The Pink Slipper Project. Donations are being accepted continuously of slippers, supplies or monetary donations. The widget is just off to the right, just click on it and see what the recent challenges are.

Speaking of challenges, am I the only one who let this cold weather and dry heat indoors chap up my skin? Some soothing bath teas are the answer, along with some good for your skin oils. Jojoba is my choice, it facilitates essential oils being absorbed by your skin. A nice choice for some quick skin first aid.

Have a wonderful week. Stay safe and warm.

Show and Tell Sunday Night! 2/22/09

After a few weeks of missing Show and Tell, I have an exciting new product to show off. I have become a distributor for AmuletLife. These are such pretty amulets made of natural semi-precious stones which have been carefully chosen for the health benefits they are believed to impart to the wearer. In addition to the benefit of the power of the stones, there is a tiny reservoir to place a few drops of essential oil into with a wick/stopper. This is your personal aromatherapy 24/7! Think of the possibilities. Have a business meeting you want to be very alert for, a few drops of clary sage essential oil will do the trick. High stress? Try a few drops of lavender essential oil in your amulet. Have a stuffy nose? How about a few drops of eucalyptus oil to keep your head clear. Need to get over that nasty late afternoon slump? Lemon essential oil will do the trick. Do you have a favorite blend of oils that just transports you to a tranquil place, put it in your amulet. These amulets are so unique there is a patent pending on them.

These have been put onto my website and I would love to have you come visit to see them http://www.patriciarose-apotpourri.com/shopping/amulets/page_1.aspx .

Each amulet comes with 3 wicks so you can change the oils as you wish. The oils will be available this coming week in small vials. Hope you enjoy these as much as I am.
