Happy Holidays!

Good Evening! Hope everyone everywhere is keeping warm and enjoying the Holiday season so far. I had hoped on posting weekly up until Christmas about great deals or fun recipes, but so far, no such luck! I guess between Craft Shows, candle orders, 4 little girls and trying to paint and redecorate, I kinda keep busy! :)

So from now until Christmas, if you visit Ozark Scents and make a purchase, you can take 15% off your entire order, every time you order until Christmas. Please place your order and at checkout when it asks for a coupon code enter... HOLIDAY15 to automatically get 15% off your order.

Happy Holidays!

Merry Monday week 3!

Merry Monday is upon us again and we are counting down the last days until Christmas!

Miraculously I became an early bird holiday shopper this year, but if you are anything like I was in holidays past, then you may be a Christmas procrastinator.

Don’t worry, I have good news! I have found some great last-minute holiday shopping resources that will guide you in the direction of some very merry, affordable and fun gifts just in time for Christmas!

Zazzle.com is the perfect place to create great personalized gifts, and right now they are offering 50% off express shipping! So not only can you give a thoughtful gift, you can actually give it on Christmas day! Hurry, Hurry, Hurry…………. You still have to create it:)

You are short on time, have a tight budget and are stumped about what to give……… Don’t fret, just go to TheLedger.com and check out their article entitled 20 last minute gift ideas for less than $20

If you are still having trouble finding that perfect last minute gift then you may want to visit http://www.redenvelope.com/ and/or http://www.amazon.com/, they both offer overnight shipping on unique gifts, toys, and apparel.

Happy St. Paddy's Day!!

Last night, as I helped my 7 year old daughter build her "Leprechaun Trap" for her school project, which she assures me she will definitely catch one with, I got a little curious as to all the Irish Traditions of St. Patrick's Day. Although I am not a lot Irish, I am a Heinz 57 mix, so I am sure there is some Irish in there somewhere, I LOVE St. Patrick's Day! You get to wear Green, Drink Green Beer, Eat Great food, try to catch a Leprechaun and I am always hopeful on St. Pat's day...and did I mention drink green beer?? :)

So, What does everyone do on St. Patrick's Day? Well, green beer sounds good to me...but there are parades, and the best part...THE FOOD!! Here are a couple of Traditional Irish recipes I found:

Corned Beef and Cabbage
And...

Irish Soda Bread with Raisins

I was feeling very festive this year and I made a batch of Green Clover & Aloe candles!! :) They smell WONDERFUL...not really what I expected but still wonderful!! I am going to burn one today as my own new tradition on St. Paddy's day!

So, on this greenish kinda day I wish all my wonderful followers, friends, & customers a very blessed day, I hope you all see green (in a good way)!!!

I will leave you with a few Irish sayings & blessings!

♥In Heaven there is no beer, that is why we drink it here.

♥May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light, May good luck pursue you each morning and night.

♥An old Irish recipe for longevity: Leave the table hungry. Leave the bed sleepy. Leave the bar thirsty.

♥"May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields, And until we meet again, May God hold you In the palm of his hand."

♥May the love and protection, St. Patrick can give - Be yours in abundance as
long as you live.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Amy :)
