Things are just rosey

Ok...ok...so I know most of you are going to wrinkle your noses and make 'tut-tut' noises when you read this. I HAVE PINK HI-LITES!!I finally bit the bullet, and found a place who would do funky color hi-lites, and bought the stuff. Instead of going for the blue colors, like I had gravitated to, and even bought the clip in extension of....opted for pink. I used MANIC PANIC RED PASSION. I have a big strip of color underneath my hair, so when I pull my hair up, you can see it. And then on top, in my crown....I have pink too. Mom and Ida love it. Of course the boys of the office have yet to really say anything about it. My friends through my cousin Dee like it too.
On another note, I will be taking my side company Orelinde's Originals to (2) two local craft shows. One will be on September 29th, in my town....at St. Joseph's Church. The other will be held on October 13th, in Smithtown. So I have been a tornado of creative energy making the shower gels, body lotions, and Halloween soaps. Tonight I will continue with soaps, and painting of wooden home hangings as well.
And last but not least....yesterday was the mc-kittens 5th birthday!Yep...Pooka & Cro`i are five years old...and still acting the apples of my eye. I had ordered a Baskin & Robbin ice cream cake for them, but the order had been canceled as the cake decorator couldn't make a small cake look like a kitty. So instead we all had Carvel ice cream sundae's. (I know, not good for any of us.) But Pooka & Cro`i had soft-serve strawberry & pistachio, with whipped cream. (Blaze got some of theirs too. For dinner mom, Ida and I had pizza, with of course Blaze getting her own slice. Pooka and Cro`i got all kinds of kitty treats to eat, as well as two cans of Fancy Feast for birthday gifts. Afterwards Blaze kept giving Pooka kisses, and Pooka kept wacking her on the head. This went on for a good 3-minutes and then Pooka finally had enough of his sister's 'mooches. But I think they had a nice birthday.

IT'S FINALLY HERE...AFTER MUCH WAITING!

Without further ado, I am pleased to announce the opening of ORELINDE'S ORIGINALS. And just what is Orelinde's Originals, you may ask. Well it is an on-line store of my one-of-a-kind handmade soaps, candles, body lotions, mosaic tiled works, and other specialty items. Check out the site, and refer it to all those you know! http://www.orelindes-originals.com/

Of course if you or someone is looking for gift baskets, or party favors I can accomodate the customer, and the price will be altered as well. (Boy do I sound like I'm making an infomercial.) And I am quite handy making other things as well, so if there is something you're looking for or don't see, give ORELINDE'S ORIGINALS a shout.

I've been wanting to do something to make a little extra cash for some time. Because, you know...everyone thinks extra cash is a good thing. Anyway, Ida has been itching to get her fingers busy with crafting, as she was the one who taught me the tricks of the trade. So I had asked her just what is it she could bring to the crafting table, and she offered up a few ideas. So we're aprtners.

It took me so much time to get the site built, photos I liked, and upload them and all the other stuff. Some nights I was up until 2am, working on the site because a description or photo wouldn't load and was annoying me. It is still a work in progress, but is UP and RUNNING!! So please spread the word.
