Twice a year, an awesome self planned roadmap/trip features around 400 boutiques, barn sales, vintage shops open their doors to sell their wares. Our barn sale is still quite the secret and will take some time for folks to know who I am and what we have in store. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some handmade items that I create and a few of our shop hop photos. We hope to see you next year if you're local, and/or follow along on social media for updates. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh22O2qMj_iAGkIc6YsaXUfptFM4Dv5IcXlaDUsqDT_vA6ei5VC83WCm-17l9Mpj2Cq9AelGi3dJfJku_BMA8TLLg0lt3UajPCdDkaKLE7l3UkRWsMUApFrwj677o5y-TAJQkQXSoHZDQG5kIN0g4WU-MsFtH8aFmmkqJOYC82KdQN8JQ_PIX4DWqgSQR4/s4032/IMG_3583.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Life at a full time job, a small business owner part time fills my plate well. </p><p><br /></p><p>Since moving back to Wisconsin 2 years ago, there are still boxes to unpack. And every day, I'm bringing home more carloads of goodies from my 9-5 profession as an expert antique and junque hunter-ha! If ya only knew the thrill of my secret life. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, this 100+ year old farmhouse doesn't have a fire place and I've wanted a faux one for years and my hunny bunny nailed it again for our home. While I'm getting my hands dirty with vintage wares, he's busy building at home. </p><p><br /></p><p>All of the materials are left over wood from our construction business, so it's just a simple labor of love. </p><p><br /></p><p>What do you think of the before and after? Halloween is my first official holiday to decorate and I couldn't be more thrilled, except, my spiders went missing from my drapery- oh well, such as life. </p><p>I'm certain that I may tweak it several times, but for now, I'm pretty content with shown results. </p><p>Each night, the candles come on and provides a spooky lil' haunt. </p><p>Toodles, </p><p>Alisa </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Yes, you heard me correctly. Someone has to do it and my bank account is thanking me as well. <p></p><p><br /></p><p>The house is popping at the seams with goodies for almost 2 years of collecting, cleaning, designing and adding more to every square inch of our home. Why? Well, I've been trying to get another store for a long time or at least rent a booth or even partner with someone to share a space. Nothing has really worked out and the struggles and disappointments have me pondering why... God is obviously protecting me and/or his plan is much greater than what I pray for everyday. I think I find something and most case scenario is no one ever calls back. </p><p>We went to plan B to set up At home for pop up markets and its been way too hot this season for us and especially for the candles. I literally spend every waking moment trying to make something happen and that I will finally find the right clientele for our style of creating. </p><p>Have a wonderful evening everyone!

Where has the year disappeared to? <p></p><p><br /></p><p>It's been way to hot to set up this season for our pop up markets here at the farmhouse. We have been so busy working, there still hasn't been extra time to squeeze in enclosing my part of the garage. And although I'm still searching for a store, it seems as if the universe isn't allowing it to happen. So, I still continue to make NEW things until I find the perfect lil' spot perfect for my visions. </p><p>Our items can be purchased via Etsy or message me and I'll get ya fixed up </p><p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/simplyglowingfarm">https://www.etsy.com/shop/simplyglowingfarm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here's a few things to be added today, but hurry though, alot of items are limited in quantities. </p>Simply Glowing Giftshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15563743230346796301noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106383328585641050.post-80120583130407183392022-10-10T07:51:00.002-05:002023-11-29T20:49:56.639-06:00NEW French Country style candles for Holiday 2022<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyNUQFjE9RYXCdpUe2bkdx6SNulhspv-pGSD1ItPv_UfgBOLGTwrxS7T85RyTWQTahJjSCCLqHIUMsWP4F8acFMrz4kZNNxYZK8Mmz9GMvOGJbbHevijf1UgJgKUtxwFRT2TBC-8PlpKgPBP4AjaMWkSrrKC8AQXEGlGhUh3Uz3Ie0D10YrASCyMNd/s4032/4088DA42-7B7F-4B68-81C8-2EF70856F242.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyNUQFjE9RYXCdpUe2bkdx6SNulhspv-pGSD1ItPv_UfgBOLGTwrxS7T85RyTWQTahJjSCCLqHIUMsWP4F8acFMrz4kZNNxYZK8Mmz9GMvOGJbbHevijf1UgJgKUtxwFRT2TBC-8PlpKgPBP4AjaMWkSrrKC8AQXEGlGhUh3Uz3Ie0D10YrASCyMNd/s320/4088DA42-7B7F-4B68-81C8-2EF70856F242.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_S27awnNVc2Cgl8l0fPE5PpaaDo23NYfq0_m691cVRBDe1xetxrE7ifiP82Y6Bgj5Db5xXbQuNxcD_cyXOEo_OX-_WTuardWnrS57WPHDKCy3l-4Puoq2ZdYrxgtM8AktrBOvTjEfCAnWbyZIvmKs07BllH7c4uFoZMyKiMwUVLs6hpt5MLfpwwxu/s4032/42841162-B4EA-49F5-9764-DE56FFA7752D.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_S27awnNVc2Cgl8l0fPE5PpaaDo23NYfq0_m691cVRBDe1xetxrE7ifiP82Y6Bgj5Db5xXbQuNxcD_cyXOEo_OX-_WTuardWnrS57WPHDKCy3l-4Puoq2ZdYrxgtM8AktrBOvTjEfCAnWbyZIvmKs07BllH7c4uFoZMyKiMwUVLs6hpt5MLfpwwxu/s320/42841162-B4EA-49F5-9764-DE56FFA7752D.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_P_0iKMMjzUtEx2h3rSVLpvlGgwxK9B2NRwOXpuAx_tqcJQlssK4ILHXNECAUCPuA1GPQqDoXmlNVdXq3mtxSE7HvGNFB5rscRffaUPWuwGD1yr6uBV350hdkm8KWzH_9ED-9UMtxUuhn-pZGRoi08YpLvNSU1HyWZT_IoDwNcjSQRURZU6brUK8Z/s4032/A8D25959-F8D4-41CD-8BA9-A81C2B8107FC.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_P_0iKMMjzUtEx2h3rSVLpvlGgwxK9B2NRwOXpuAx_tqcJQlssK4ILHXNECAUCPuA1GPQqDoXmlNVdXq3mtxSE7HvGNFB5rscRffaUPWuwGD1yr6uBV350hdkm8KWzH_9ED-9UMtxUuhn-pZGRoi08YpLvNSU1HyWZT_IoDwNcjSQRURZU6brUK8Z/s320/A8D25959-F8D4-41CD-8BA9-A81C2B8107FC.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><br /> I'm a hot Southern mess and I can admit that ! Giggles ...<p></p><p>I spend so many hours on everyone else's stuff I stress of focusing on mine - ugh? Anybody else do the same? It's been a roller coaster of life events for the past 2 years. We opened a cute little shop in downtown Ripon this time 2 years ago and unfortunately, that was another sad story of ugliness behind the scenes that I will be hurt over for awhile. I pray everyday to move forward as I met some amazing customers, new friends and chalked up the mean girl movie to another "life" experience I never want to happen again. Truly sad y'all! </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, life took me to Texas early last year (more blogs on that to come). We were set up at First Monday Trade Days, back in my ole' stomping grounds. But, wow! OMG how things have changed down there. Way too many people, no homes to buy, rent or anything - so, again, another blessing that the beautiful farmhouse here in FL didn't sell. So, we packed up again (yes, twice in 1 year) and back in Wisconsin as of November 2021. I don't think I'll ever get it situated and unpacked. </p><p><br /></p><p>We had some pop ups over the summer and finally turned the 3 car garage into our NEW shop! Yay!! The ladies loved it over the weekend and said, it was BETTER than Ripon. And this space has a story that I'll share soon. One lady was kind enough to share and remind me that God throws curveballs sometimes to lead us to the right places. I tried for 4 years to get a store anywhere down there and that was him saying, girl it's a mistake!!! And I've got something better for your heart! AMEN to that sister!!!</p><p>So, I got off track - yes, there's that hot mess again! So with all that shared, I wanted a fresh NEW look and designed a new French Country, classic, classy, elegant label. She was a success at her debut. I still have the farmhouse labels and that chimes in on the next story about the "barn" intuition I had long before I knew our history of this 100 year old farmhouse. </p><p>What do you think? Beautiful, huh? They are being poured, labeled and added to our online boutique as we speak. </p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to shop anyway you desire, our site, Etsy or Faire if you are wholesale. I just simply ask that you bare with me as I get them ready </p>Simply Glowing Giftshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15563743230346796301noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106383328585641050.post-89778280853194349442022-10-10T07:11:00.003-05:002023-11-29T21:21:06.647-06:00Vintage Shop Hop weekend Wisconsin <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I'm beyond blessed to see so many of my sweet customers from my downtown Ripon shop hop over to Fox Lake to see me back in action. </p><p>You know what? Life is super crazy right now trying to keep up with designing, filling orders, working a full time job and little time for simply sitting outside and enjoying the breeze in my hair. Which explains why I haven't posted here in forever. I'm gonna try to do better, I'm no influencer, but those who do follow us appreciate our unique handmade quality and of course charming personality. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are a few photos of the weekend and I will promise to be active here to show what's happening here in Fox Lake, Wisconsin </p><p><br /></p>Simply Glowing Giftshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15563743230346796301noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106383328585641050.post-9686190331581905742020-09-06T15:03:00.003-05:002023-11-29T21:19:54.287-06:00Downtown Ripon Wisconsin shop<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjuoEc5uN8uQ1tyq4H7v2ZXcMJQ5WqYuGs1gog5SXd4NckJATzW2B1PDqqmHsHROPNPMPt_TmG0mHcWZFHXrmr6vnjdFXxop_5VLii1tTJJTStsua-6HhkzbLBbBhf9sT8yZwjf_fMso94/s2048/3D9DE64B-1B7D-4347-B8C3-8D056DDA94E5.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjuoEc5uN8uQ1tyq4H7v2ZXcMJQ5WqYuGs1gog5SXd4NckJATzW2B1PDqqmHsHROPNPMPt_TmG0mHcWZFHXrmr6vnjdFXxop_5VLii1tTJJTStsua-6HhkzbLBbBhf9sT8yZwjf_fMso94/s320/3D9DE64B-1B7D-4347-B8C3-8D056DDA94E5.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPvdS57DP39lZ7Z2Jm4wZZaCoyx5cwckwDKuMot0sv1pvrxNx0oGcgkFiemX8hg-UEuE2yeF4WudSLtRgw-ecyIsOEf08HZcioQAbATN-SaE7MtQzoqjQ2XpFoJ_HucyjPswUPVB530UNJ/s2048/C68854E9-B248-43CB-A4A8-2C09D98229E2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPvdS57DP39lZ7Z2Jm4wZZaCoyx5cwckwDKuMot0sv1pvrxNx0oGcgkFiemX8hg-UEuE2yeF4WudSLtRgw-ecyIsOEf08HZcioQAbATN-SaE7MtQzoqjQ2XpFoJ_HucyjPswUPVB530UNJ/s320/C68854E9-B248-43CB-A4A8-2C09D98229E2.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI5lmCLHi5Iek9ioCA6LlazT2zDDDmPPaph7xdm9rn-luxa-hXUw9f-6vUaXujQ5W_U4lxOiY6Dv-7lFUx_rq4YhxS-RTQMoPa7x3mdppu5_4tzASC1BYAnQWiHQdOIOBUBlwGZmjsyzXP/s2048/DD5CE12A-D82E-4810-BEFC-BF631EE93785.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI5lmCLHi5Iek9ioCA6LlazT2zDDDmPPaph7xdm9rn-luxa-hXUw9f-6vUaXujQ5W_U4lxOiY6Dv-7lFUx_rq4YhxS-RTQMoPa7x3mdppu5_4tzASC1BYAnQWiHQdOIOBUBlwGZmjsyzXP/s320/DD5CE12A-D82E-4810-BEFC-BF631EE93785.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><br /> Omg! I've been working my fingers to the bone the past year . I know I said that I was gonna (try) to commit to get back into this blog. Personally my life is pretty much out there on other outlets. <p></p><p>So, what's been going on the past year... hmm? Well, this time last year we went into full production mode of candles, furniture, crafts and what nots and set up at a place in Kimberly WI- Antique up. It was a good drive for us, but we took a chance. We spent a few months there, but honestly we prefer the one on one relationships built with customers, well, I do anyway. </p><p>We stayed thru November and put it all back in my li'l she shed until I found something geared more towards my hopes n dreams. I want another store and have wanted one for a long time. I've had them before and truly miss my East Texas selling days at Canton Trade Days. </p><p>Anyhoo... then Covid happened- bummer for all of us. We have played it safe and shut down the Etsy for awhile and that was probably a mistake too.. oh well, I was scared too . I kept busy designing and waited for the right time. When we were able to shop again, I noticed that shops big and small had little to offer for customers. I seized the opportunity and said, that's it , I'm going all in. I got all my ducks lined up and signed up for the only craft fair close to home in Green Lake. Everyone asked, "where is your store" . My first customer referred to to her previous space she rented. I called about the following day and funny story is that I shop downtown Ripon all the time and never saw this cute spot available. I had called several different places, but no one ever followed up returning my calls. That's been a common trend for the past 2 years when I find a place .. God has his plan ! And we have to wait on him . </p><p>So, we visited the place and other people were also interested and had appointments set up. I had to wait, 4 days later, I got the call, it's mine if I'm still interested. Happy tears rolled down my cheeks .., I've tried, cried and have had my setbacks with my lil' business in trying to start over in a new city. No one gave me the opportunity .., again God's plan . He knows I can do it with his guidance and showcase my creativity in my own way in MY shop . </p><p>Here is what my downtown space looks like when we got the keys. Stay tuned for the next phase </p>Simply Glowing Giftshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15563743230346796301noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106383328585641050.post-76895693928792206252019-06-26T22:37:00.000-05:002019-06-26T22:38:24.183-05:00Birthday Trip to GalenaA quick forward to now...I'm living in Wisconsin now.

Therefore, I haven't had too much time to dedicate to outside. We painted the house and garage late last summer, but still haven't been able to finish the back side... ugh! Am I the only one with a list too long?<br />
I also work in healthcare, and I forgot to mention that I also work 96 hours a week.. yikes! Now, that explains why I look worn out. It would be nice to go on a trip somewhere - a beach, Vegas, by a pool... a jacuzzi ! Oh, who am I kidding? Never enough tome, and not $ that's for darn sure .<br />
<br />
So, I'm going to try to commit to sharing my life events, hobbies, my lil business.-cause I love to photograph everything.! Just wait and see, my kids call me Snow White, well, that's another post for another time.<br />

I hope you enjoy my photos of the before and after. And the funny thing about this project, is that you wouldn't believe we only spent $40. We bought 5 bags of mulch for $10, $22 on flowers and the rest , well, maybe a small bit over 40 for the metal bucket . The rest we found in the garage . We got out plants from a local grower in Princeton, WI called Mikes plants . I've been there twice, again pics for another post<br />

I spend so much tome on other social media outlets, this one just doesn't come to mind anymore .<br />
<br />
So, what's up ? I'm still pouring candles and I'm living in Wisconsin as of 2 years ago. I've been enjoying my new life, my still new to me love , best decision I ever made . I'm still selling on Etsy of course, but I truly wish I could get more sales- my passion in life is what I design. It's hard for others to understand creativity .<br />
<br />
I have a she shed that I design in and would like to share my progress. These photo are from last October when she arrived. I truly hope you enjoy my journey to making it fit my funky style.<br />
<br />
Welcome to the Simply Glowing Candles she shed<br />
<br />
Until next time... toodles ❤️<br />

Not sure where to start...lol~so, I'll go backwards a little before I leap to now to begin.<br />
<br />
I still can't imagine how it's been 5 years where I left off and in case you missed out on my Canton boutique, I'll share those photos because I was really excited to get back into a REAL store again even if it were for just briefly.<br />
<br />
I started up again in the Old Mill marketplace with my candles, melts and jewelry and some home decor items. Then I met some amazing ladies that were next to me and one I became friends with ...we had some fun and laughs through out our slow times and rainy days.<br />
Hope you enjoy a few of the photos I've shared to reconnect with<br />
<br />
<br />
my shop is still open with Etsy at:<br />

~see ya again soon~<br />

And tonight I am testing a newbie I am about to add to my new boutique..frosted cupcakes..yummy!!<br />
<br />
Ladies, I just wanted to thank you to each of you that have visited my new little shop in Athens. I was so excited about opening that I thought I had a plan on decorating...well it's all changed now. I love the beautiful comments that I received, but so many were just seeing the baby and little girl stuff that the ladies' glamorous jewelry was being overlooked. So, I called in some help. The store is completely re-decorated. So, if you saw it before, you need to come back and see it again.<br />
<br />
I have added more beautiful jewelry, glittered scarves, fabulous knit hats, leopard "french" style hats, home decor items and some elegant Jessica McClintock animal print throws...they are gorgeous!! And won't last long, I only have 2 left in the store.<br />
<br />

Today's plan is to get some of my house re-organized and get ready for the Holidays. Just one more week until the kids are out of school and I get to see my baby again....well, she's not really a baby anymore. She is about to be 18 and extremely talented. ( I wonder who she gets that from?) Britt can draw anything by simply looking at it, and actually her's ends up better than the original....more detailed.<br />
We have some canvas pieces to work on and can't wait to share her artwork.<br />
<br />
In addition to the other things I design...I dabble in floral designs too!! The Holiday season really peaks my talents because I can be overkill on the home decorating. I want my children to cherish the memories that I am creating for their futures. Break out the homemade cookies, decorations and let the sparkle begin!!<br />
<br />Come over to see our beautiful arrangements in the boutique <br />

I am declaring today purple Sunday~you may ask why purple?<br />
<br />
All of my shows for the past several months have been requests for purple jewelry. I began looking at specialty boutiques, Canton Trade Days, etc.....hardly anyone has purple jewelry. And now I know why people are asking for it~there are plenty of handbags, clothes and other accessories available...but hardly any purple jewelry. Even google didn't produce much of anything to help either.<br />

So, my new mission was born~on the hunt for purple beads and embellishments to design with..I do love to shop! Here are a few of my designs that I have made...minus what I already sold and didn't get a chance to photograph....Happy Purple Sunday!!<br />

For months now, Chunky jewelry is everywhere!! <br />
<br />When we ventured out to Aspasians this past weekend, a vendor had the same styles that I make. If I hadn't known any better, you would've thought that it was my booth and I paid someone to run it for me. <br />
<br />
For the past few months I have been working on a totally new look. Therefore, I have decided to go back to designing candles more and lay off the jewelry~I think everyone has seen enough of the "Chunky Jewelry"...<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy my candles as much as I do!!! Creme' Brulee is my favorite!!!<br />

</div>It's cold and wet this morning~and not very encouraging to do housework. Therefore, I have dedicated a few hours to my business. Juliet (my kitty), is cold too. She is all snuggled up next to me as I type...she is truly an angel kitty!! I found a pic with her in the car with me~yes, she travels with me also. Not much for being left alone at all and she will quickly let you know when shes upset.<br />

Each hand~poured using the finest blends of paraffin & soy wax. Our perfumer is world renowned for producing oils for Estee Lauder, Glade and Harry Potter scented markers. Each oil is specifically manufactured for candles and is 100% pure...nothing diluted, nor triple scented. Don't be fooled by those words, a candle that is triple scented would become separated from the wax and jar. As long as the oil is 100% pure there is no need to label "triple scented"..or it can become quite flammable.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Shown is our 18 oz jar that retails for $ 20.00 and wholesale inquiries are welcomed for your boutique, retail chain or even to individuals looking to sell on e-bay or at local trade/craft venues. Fragrance shown is Mexican Vanilla~rich creamy vanilla with lots of butterscotch~yummy!!</div>Simply Glowing Giftshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15563743230346796301noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106383328585641050.post-20014753441762514772008-08-18T18:48:00.004-05:002023-11-29T21:08:57.685-06:00The Great Pumpkin candles <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-GXpozso97OSTCt8SbCoSg5D4NtUixZL0SDGSHBoZlJMU8N1a5yMBLj72ZTvbZDEUMs4_ErXIQmpP2OZYMPX1TqZYqtKnAYEP-ZO4qKBDrcSf8tv88bt-n2l90KQSUnVkDgk1Pkv6D8vQ/s1600-h/candle2+010.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236012867335352482" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-GXpozso97OSTCt8SbCoSg5D4NtUixZL0SDGSHBoZlJMU8N1a5yMBLj72ZTvbZDEUMs4_ErXIQmpP2OZYMPX1TqZYqtKnAYEP-ZO4qKBDrcSf8tv88bt-n2l90KQSUnVkDgk1Pkv6D8vQ/s200/candle2+010.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvwEN8fDKy1EvMsUAxzjuY9QRjiWKLDxFMfFnl82cmJvcAARINK9bta4o0MjVl_41lAyZ_5XEP9sbQRfjRcMc4YdqyUszYf-VP516ZeJmdcri7jr2Yq4rZN7SWIQT99tdP1TCOTmrPYJKp/s1600-h/candle2+020.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236012880422593026" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvwEN8fDKy1EvMsUAxzjuY9QRjiWKLDxFMfFnl82cmJvcAARINK9bta4o0MjVl_41lAyZ_5XEP9sbQRfjRcMc4YdqyUszYf-VP516ZeJmdcri7jr2Yq4rZN7SWIQT99tdP1TCOTmrPYJKp/s200/candle2+020.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aHSL70pztdo/SKoN_NfREYI/AAAAAAAAAFc/HhZ-55zaBJg/s1600-h/candle2+019.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236012896375345538" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aHSL70pztdo/SKoN_NfREYI/AAAAAAAAAFc/HhZ-55zaBJg/s200/candle2+019.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Fall can't get here soon enough for me.

The position I had for the last couple of years was eliminated following a company buy out. Leaving a single mom having a hard time trying to make ends meet to provide for 4 children. It ain't easy sister...let me tell you!! I have had to swallow my pride and rely on government assistance...or starve to death. My ex-husband is a year behind in child support, and getting help from the State has been nothing but a series of headaches and disappointments. After filing in May, and calling everytime they "do" something, a demand for payment has been set in October for "him" to appear in court. Please pray for a miracle~either pay the years' worth of support or relinquish his rights!! </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Despite all the financial difficulties, I remain positive (through lots & lots of prayer)!! And somehow I make it thru every month. Looking for a real job, has turned up hopeless...really hard to find anything that will pay enough, let alone even get a call for an interview for a $6.00/hr position.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Only God knows what is in my future and I rely on my faith for guidance. For those who don't know me personally...my former husband was very abusive~mental and physical. After 12 years and each day getting worse, the day he laid a finger on my child~out the door he went. I didn't care how we had to survive, living in a safe, non-violent home is much more important for all of us!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>With all that said~my pink "Faith" candle has become the inspiration to women in my shoes to make a change in their lives. The 8 oz. Pink Cross Rhinestone Tumbler is filled with the popular fragrance of...Beautiful....because that's what we are to our children! Yes, I realize that purple represents the color for this cause~I love the color of pink because it is pure, peaceful, uplifting and represents a girl.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>As of August, 15, 2008 ~ every "Faith" candle sold at my shows or online<a href="http:www.simplyglowing.etsy.com/">Etsy</a> ~($3.00)of the profits will be donated to my local womens' shelter <a href="http://www.genesisshelter.org/">Genesis Shelter</a></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Please help support women & children effected by Domestic Violence in your community...we really need your help.</div>Simply Glowing Giftshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15563743230346796301noreply@blogger.com1
