Susie Makes Sense

A few weeks ago I met Susie of Susie Makes Scents.com.  I discovered that Susie's products not only create a nice fragrance in the office, but they make sense too as the candles that Susie creates are make from soy wax and reasonably priced.  Admittedly, I chose the Christmas Tree scent because I was feeling anxious for the fast approaching holiday.  I expected to hear complaints, but the aroma seemed to have a comforting effect.

Because of my initial fear of blowing everybody away with the scent, I used half of a square in my own burner.  Since the wax is make of soy it was easily cut into a smaller piece and the scents clean with soap and water.

Per Susie's web site, for $11.00 you get one scent tray and one Tulip Burner.  We all agreed that this would be a wonderful gift for co-workers, neighbors, friends, and relatives.   Visit www.susiemakesscents.com to order that unique, personal gift that you've been looking for.

Yep, It Is A Small Business!

Sure, a lot of you are small business owners.  It's fun and exciting.  There is never a moment that goes by that you don't have something to think about.  It's fun.  Really, I'm reminding you that it is fun!

Well, owning a business is fun until a service provider decides to change the terms and conditions of your agreement!  That is what happened to me today.  Not as though I'm alone.  I know I heard that a telephone company did this to its customers fairly recently.  

I deterred my husband from getting a smart phone citing the learning curve and the potential cost.  As I think back it seems that it wasn't too long ago that I whined about people putting the cart before the horse.  Telling my husband that he didn't need a smart phone was my way of admitting that I had put the cart before the horse.  I've had my smart phone for a year and I still haven't figured it out.  Basically, I'm the proud owner of a camera that I can make phone calls with.  

I apologize for venting like this, but I want you to all know that you are not alone.  Go ahead and laugh with me because you know it's nice to get these stupid problems resolved and I'll be off to check on our highway bill.  I wish you a good day!

Christmas Cards

When I select my Christmas cards I check the details.  I guess I do this because my dad worked in the printing industry for a number of years.  I check the quality of paper, the color sharpness, and the cut.  Finally, I need my cards to be made in the USA.  It's a real study and for some reason the men in my family prefer not to tag along for the trip.  The winners this year were Legacy Greetings of Horsham, PA and LPG Greetings of Walworth, WI.

When I looked around on the web I found that Avanti Press has some nice cards available that are presented in a reusable padded mailing envelope.  (That works for my tree hugger side!)  

Each of these companies have posted links to local stores that carry their products.  This makes it easy to support Small Business Saturday, November 26, 2011. 

If you're not familiar with the printing industry, please take a few minutes to watch the Miller TP95 in action.
