So, we’ll skip all the deep stuff I should be writing about right now for now. We know it’s there, we know it’s coming … but for now, October is for happy scary things.
Also, apparently, it’s for embarking on new projects. I’ve started doing a few new things, plus I’ve gone back to “working” in the other sense … you know, at the jobs that make money. You’ve probably seen me pimping myself (and a few others) out on Facebook for candle sales, greeting card sales, and other fun stuff. I never know who actually might be interested and who finds these updates obnoxious, so I thought I’d put all the current ventures of myself and those around me in one Blog Post so you could feel free to Like at your leisure. Pretty soon, I’ll confine my updates to just me stuff, and my various Pages can update my projects.
First, there’s the candle thing. I never thought I’d sell candles, but here I am, selling candles as an Independent Demonstrator for Gold Canyon Candles. I like candles and sniffing them, but I always thought the parties were a little weird and goofy. I’m finding, though, that people have an intense love of candles, and that if you give them the opportunity, they wanna buy them! If you want to be kept up-to-date on any current promotions, giveaways, or parties, or if you want to be a Host (it’s super easy and you get free stuff pretty much for inviting people to come to my house), become the friend of my candle page, Amber’s Candle Connection:

Or, if you want to order something, or just see what we’re selling, go check out my site at:
Next on my roster is Amber’s Ink. I’ve always made cards and invitations for friends and family, and for people I’ve been referred to, but I decided to try and do it on a wider basis. I absolutely love it! It’s like scrapbooking without getting my hands stuck to my face with glue! It gives me a thrill I don’t get from writing, or editing, or anything else I’ve done professionally, and I can only hope to really start getting my work out there.

So, it’s not just me going all entrepreneurial, though. My cousin Haley is raking in the orders as the newest decorator of people’s heads with her Haley’s Hats & Hairbows. How cute are these things?

Finally, one of two amazing women who have inspired me with their creativity and craftiness (the other, Cristal, is a scrapbooking wizard and master seamstress who has single-handedly kept me clothed!) … my friend Shaunna. If you have someone in your life who will send you Sympathy Fudge, you are lucky, and I have Shaunna. She makes a whole plethora of baby and kid goods, so go check out her Etsy site because pretty soon, she’s going to be too busy to make anything her stuff is so good!
