Hard Working Entreprenuer

It is quite a lot and hard work to be the only person running a business. You are the owner, sales associate, accountant, and a sole manufacturer with 1 person doing the labor. Right now I can't afford an assistant, so I'm doing everything myself. While it is fun and I enjoy having my own business and getting up in the morning and doing what I love to do-is very rewarding. Right now I'm working on a business newsletter/flyer what my business is about, and my next project is putting together a catalog of all my handmade-custom jewelry and lap throws. These lap throws and babby blankets and such is already listed on my website "Bountiful Treasures"

www.happytreasures.webs.com .
Truly even listing products and such is a lot of work. In my shop I mostly sell items I hand make, at least 80% of it. 20% is other retail items, such as cookbooks, novels, prayer journals.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I'm also the stocker and label pricing person. I love building my business, but I do hope soon that I can make enough money to hire an assistant. I'll keep you inform on that. I'll be showning some of my new jewelry creations soon, and I'm going to design some nice bracelets to be sold for only $5.00 soon, and who knows there maybe a small give away coming up soon.

Has anyone just started their own business? and if so, have you considered hiring an assistant?

Working for myself has been a long life dream since I was a little girl, and being a hard working entreprenuer does has it's perks.

Black People Hair

Hey girls. I recently have been experimenting with my hair. As some of you know or maybe all of you know, a lot of African American women have perms or relaxers. Some have been blessed with natural soft and manageable hair.

Well through my experimenting with my hair. Going natural is not for me. While I like it on other people, I can't do it. I have cut all my relaxed hair off and therefore my hair is now short, natural & somewhat wavy. I like it and all, but it is a challenge to keep up with natural hair. I realize after doing this that I can manage my hair better with it being relaxed. Well at least I can say I tried it and gave it a go. With that said, after a few days of letting my relaxed hair grow out and I've cut the remaining relaxed hair off, gone short and some what liked it-I quickly ran to my phone and made an appointment with my hair dresser. Hello relaxer and easy managing. Good-bye natural beauty and hard work, not to say that relaxers aren't nice, they are a God-sent.

So to all my fellow women of all race and cultures, I salute you with your natural beauty in every are of your lives. What works for you and what makes you happy-"Do It."

Friday's WORD For Today

The word for today is PEACE. Define what that word means for you today and try to incorporate it into your day.

Peace out. Or shall I say Peace in.

Art School

I have been interested in learning how to paint, sketch and the whole nine yards. I've been trying my hands with it for about 2 years now and I like it. So I've decided to take a course in Art. It's a diploma course, but it's also a start. I am so excited about it and can't wait to learn about different mediums and other famous artists in history. My first course is Introduction to art and drawing. I hope be on top of my class.

Is anyone out there pursuing an interest they long had? Even probably since childhood and you decide to take a leap and go for it.

Merry Christmas every one and Happy Holidays.

Hot Chocolate

Enjoy some hot chocolate tonight everybody. As it gets cold and the wonderful holidays are approaching. Take time out for yourself and enjoy a nice cup of sweet hot chocolate. Afterwards enjoy a good book or craft a gift for someone.

These sugesstions are just a courtesy from your proud sponsor of someone who thinks you need some love. Have a good and warm evening everybody.

I'm off to get some hot chocolate and read one of my favorite books, "Little Women," by Louisa May Alcott. Then as my loving sugesstion stated above, I'm going to start crocheting a gift to give to a love one for Christmas. Oh, but don't forget about your thankfulness of family and love. Make sure you get your Thanksgiving dinner in order, and have fun while you make out your menu, cook and bake with family & friends.

Enjoy your hot chocolate.

Holiday Bonanza

The holiday seasons has begun. I woke up this morning and felt Christmas in the air. No, I haven't forgotten about Thanksgiving. It was just the smell of the fun holidays arriving. Thanksgiving & Christmas are the 2 most favorite holidays I like to celebrate. Of course the next favorite holiday of mine is Valentines Day. Who doesn't love love? I love the winter holidays, because of the traditions that is involved. New ones to be made and making them with family and friends. It's the joyous occasions where people can reflect on what their thankful for and appreciate God for the getting them through tough times. Especially these times. The holidays help bring you to a peace of mind, and it helps to you realize that my problems are not bigger than God. It reminds us that God is still with us and He has never left us.

The Holidays bring about a new restoration of love for mankind and reconciliation with family and friends. The Holiday Bonanza starts when we give of ourselves to the less fortunate and help those who are in need. The best thing about it, is that this act of kindness can be done everyday, and year round. We don't have to wait until the Holidays, but if we've forgotten at least the Holidays that are approaching us now always keeps us reminded.

Happy Holidays everyone and reflect and think about what or how you can bring about the Holiday cheer to those who really need a cheer. There's no time like now during this time to pass on that cheer, joy and love to people today. "May the love of Christ abide in you all."

Stay Crafty & especially stay Loving.

The Last & Final Blog

Welcome all. This is my last and final blog. I hope I can keep up with it. The other blogs are obsolete and way out of date.

The story behind the title: Blue Peace Life, I love sea creatures, especially whales and dolphins. I enjoy seeing them in pictures and on t.v. how they gracefully swim and dance in their peaceful world. Thus the word PEACE. These creatures seem to live life as it is already planned out for them, and the look as they are always at peace. They are living a peaceful life in the deep blue sea. Which I think we all should do is live a life in peace, and in color. Live large and live happy. That's always my goal.

To my blog friends, I'll get the ball rolling and add you to my blog reader list gradually as I build my blog. I'm excited to begin a new life and with that new changes.

What my blog will be about is random things of my life experiences, and actually just anything.

Be good everybody and good night.
