Cropping Away

I am part of a couple meetup groups and one of these groups is a Scrap booking and Stamping Group. I went to my first crop with them on Saturday, and had a BLAST!!!

First, let me tell you I was having a hard time getting motivated. I couldn't get my ideas in order and nothing was looking right. I finally decided to try to stamp and do the make n take. Well, I am glad I did. Stamping can be fun!! I made a bunch of gift tags in addition to the card. Then Sunday, I made some more cards at home. They turned out super cute! I am excited to go tonight and meet the girls for a little while and make a couple things.

Smells Good!

I am gonna talk about one of my little obsessions- soaps! I love washes and good smelly stuff. Well, I am trying to move away from commercial products full of nasty stuff. THey are drying out my skin and overpowering with fragrance. I found some GREAT soap selelrs through etsy, and I have a couple I want to rave about on here.

First is Savor. Based out of California, this soapmaker is a real favorite of mine already! I ordered 3 bars from her initially-Pomegranate, Hawaiin Orange Alae and a Mandarin Plum Shaving Soap. Let me say it- INCREDIBLE! The smell is so yummy, and the lather is fantastic. They are delicate enough to use all over. The lather with the shave bar is just awesome! I am almost done with it! I am going to place another order this week, and I am having a hard time picking out just what I want to buy. Try her and I am sure you will agreee! This is her store-http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5358303

Next I am going to rave about the most amazing face care product EVER! I have been struggling to find something to clear up my face, and all the commercial products just weren't cuttin it. The more I spent, the worse my face got. Thanks to a fellow etsian, I decided to try Lemongrass Splendor by Crowley Manor. WOW! What a difference! It was almost immediate! I am hooked! I like the feeling it gives my skin, and it is a good lasting bar. I was worried it may dissolve quickly but it isn't I may use it on my back as the summer moves on to help clear up any potential problems before they start. Definately give this shop a try. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5381621

And one last shout out to The Soap Buffett. I have tried 3 differetn kinds of soap from here, and I love them all. I have been getting the little muffins, which are a neat little treat to sample. THe fudge brownie was super yummo! Check out her shop- http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5933608

I got a little sidetracked!

From the time I started to do this until now. I even forgot what site I used. Fortunately it was easy to find and those etsians are a big help.

Okay, so what has been going on with kissifish in the past few months. Not a whole stinkin lot. I have been working on bows, and all sorts of other things. My store and fan base have grown. I have pretty business cards now, thanks to the cool Vista Print offer. Awesome!

I also have fancy labels and nice tiny bubble mailers that were super cheap! Thanks Royal Mailers! This makes life so much better. I want to start blogging about some of my favorite shops now too, and post them so everyone can support some of these awesome people as well. So we will see how that goes. I am gonna try and do a few fancy things right now. Here are two of my faves that I created over the weekend!
