Its been gloomy & rainy here in NJ for what seems like an eternity!I have been waking up everyday thinking maybe I was transported to England or Seattle or something.So maybe if we pay homage to the sun it will shine brightly on us once again.I tried to find a prayer to the sun god, but they seemed a little bit over the top.So instead, I'm just going to say.Sun, please Soyladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13875374826759451711noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1241041768585702085.post-78185322814444358672009-04-30T09:52:00.008-04:002009-04-30T11:22:27.521-04:00Fly Butterfly, Fly...<!--[if gte mso 9]> Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 <![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]> <![endif]--><!--[if !mso]> st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } <![endif]--> <!-- /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; Soyladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13875374826759451711noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1241041768585702085.post-23204402001571706612009-04-17T18:59:00.004-04:002009-04-17T19:04:46.203-04:00From the Candle Kitchen...I have been creating away in my candle Kitchen, working on those new cupcakes that I have been mentioning. The red velvet cupcakes came out ok, I think the next batch will be better. I tried out the carnival cupcakes and they turned into psycho circus cupcakes. Don’t ask! And then today I attempted the black & white cupcakes. These came out awesome! I’m very pleased, they look just like the Soyladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13875374826759451711noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1241041768585702085.post-39120224582699924602009-03-31T20:18:00.006-04:002009-04-05T13:26:52.713-04:00Watch out for April 1st, Don’t be a fool!Over the years I have come up with quite a few good April fools day pranks. These days my brain is just way too packed with other things to try and play tricks on anyone. I spent yesterday morning switching out the display window. It actually came out better than I had expected it to. I'm pleased with it.. for now anyway…. Before I start stressing about the May window!

Ok maybe I didn’t exactly build them, but I did drive them over in my car and gently place them in the window. So that kinda counts, right??Luckily I came across this adorable snowman family that needed a home, and they were a perfect fit for my January window display… However, they were a little upset about the “Snowman Poop” candle.

I almost froze walking across Main Street to get my favorite cup of Kona coffee. I must find my gloves!! Then I noticed that gas is now $1.75 at the gas station across the street from the store, which is a really good thing because I'm almost on “E”.

It’s not half bad, if I do say so myself, but we got the finishing touch from my Mom. She let me borrow Tom the Turkey. Thanks Mom!Its no masterpiece mind you, but it works… Soon enough it will be time to switch it to Christmas. I had trouble getting a good picture through the window, so you only get to see one shot.
