There's a rumbling going on in the DUDES CORNER on Etsy.com! I like it! and since I have
been working in earnest (well sort of) on my Men's Line, this is kind of exciting!
Today we got featured in a Men's Treasury, featured by a real MAN! Hey, if He thinks we're cool, then that means WE COOL....right?
Then I looked at my status, and a BUNCH of guys added my shop (my little ol' girlie girl shop!) to their FAVES!
That made me smile!
I also smiled because my chickies moved out of my kitchen today. I put them in the dog kennel, inside a puppy play yard, bolted both shut, and covered them in a quilt outside for the evening. I pray and hope they are safe and sound in the morning! They were super excited when I let them out to PLAY today! They were just cheeping and a scratchin' and a flappin' their cute little wings!
I came home from a meeting tonight and there were lots of sales in my inbox! YAY!!!!!!!
And about 3 wholesale orders to get together.......so we will be busy for several days!
Well, lovies, if you took a couple seconds to vote for me in the Startup Nation.com contest, I sincerely

However, I will say this; if you do ask me for support, I will consider it prayerfully and seriously. But consider how you can cheer me on as well, yes?

Anyways, that's the way I see it. We need each other, and it is a partnership,folks!
Well, this week I have been super busy, lurking around high ranking blogs, looking for good albeit cheap advertising for my little with big plans businesses. I signed up for some online training and seminars, began to map out a strategy to reach into this geo territory in sales, and took out a free email newsletter marketing newsletter. I don't understand the software AT ALL....but my wonderful assistant said she could do it no worries! Just goes to show you...we need each other!
I will write more tomorrow......promise!
Smooches!

Cassia is for GUYS too!
Awhile back, a friend of mine saw me at an art show. He was performing with his dance and prayer troupe
trEd and I was in my little booth selling my wares.
He walked by and said "Men's Line", pointing at me with a directional kind of authoritative command.
It had a resilient tone in me, as I had already been planning a men's line and a children's line, and a pet's line,
and a teen's line. And so on and so forth.....=) You know me, the quintessential visionary...
I've had flashes of inspiration along the way. It's been pretty fun thinking about the colors, the textures, the scent, the wrapping even down to the fonts used in the Men's products. The most fun I've had, I will admit is in writing the ad copy. (blushing...)
So, without further ado, here is what I've gathered so far. There's more....much much more.
So.....what do you think? Yeah, I'm really getting into making collages right now. Just cannot help myself. My job requires me to of a necessity be involved in graphics, and I must admit I'm really really enjoying that part of my job right now!
So then, let me introduce each soap to you:

So then, let me introduce each soap to you:
A woodsy, earthy and oh so sexy decoction for your Earth Man.
He will love it, but so will you! Unisex, warm, natural and woodsy.
A woodsy blend of Fir Balsam, Peppermint, Cedar Leaf, Spearmint
Hints of Eucalyptus, Ginger and Peppermint for refreshing top notes. It is grounded
with Thyme and the faintest touch of Amber and Musk....
All natural with essential oils of Texas Cedarwood and Lemon!
This smells SO FRESH and clean and not like beer at all!
I formulated it especially for shaving...
And lastly but certainly not least, and not just for men either:
All natural essential oil combination blend of patchouli, orange, lavender, pine, lemongrass, elemi and gardenia.
Actually I have alot more up my sleeve and got to get them on the presses as Father's Day is fast approaching! I am working on an all natural aftershave splash to accompany each and every soap.
Just working out the formulation right now to make it as natural as possible, and as refreshing and naturally preserved as can be safely.
More on that later!
I just wanted YOU to know, dear reader, that
Cassia Aromatics, or as known in the shop, CassiasGarden, is
NOT
just
for
ladies!
Pour homme, aussi!
Au revoir, dear friend!

MULTI TASKING IS A MISNOMER; aka shop vacs are wonderful!
Well, I finally admit it. Multi-tasking is on it's way out for me. I concede.
Not graciously like John McCain. Not even smiling like Sarah Palin. Just a quiet acquiescing to the fact that I am not quite like I used to be. Better, I know, just not THE SAME.
I used to be able to run with the horses. I mean, run! Suckas, watch out when I was in my 20's! Able to travel and not have to pee for hours at a time. Suck it up was my motto! Yeah! Go army!
I remember the summer of '86. Had to run the office in Hong Kong for my sick office manager. There was nothing I liked better than to run all the machines in the office simultaneously. Computer, 5 phone lines, FAX, teletype, (does my audience even know what that is? (NOT!) I would get to feeling so POWERFUL to have the hum and droan of all them puppies goin'at once! Relishing how many neuro synapses could pop all at one time and still fire, accurately, simultaneously, with the precision that only a mastermind could handle.
Not so anymore, Watson! Why, I am doing good if I meander into any given room and remember why I have ambulated to said location. It all comes from doing too much, too much! at one time and racing the clock for more output.
Rewind to approximately 9:09 AM..... kitten left, Batman left, bacon smell was being sucked out ventahood. I was so SSOOO looking forward to LABEL TROUBLESHOOTING. PART V! a WHOLE DAY of troubleshooting, planning, making, wrapping, posting, website management....etc etc. Yesterday was prayer and fasting, meeting,and paying bills. all on list was completed. A sense of purpose and resolve had filled my heart.
Holy Spirit nudged me. "Read Bible now!" yes, Lord! I am! I will! I glanced over at last night's production, revelling how beautiful they looked. Maybe I'll take a picture first, I thought. Then I will.......
So I grabbed some snowflakes, some gold ribbon. Wow, that looks good! Let's snap a picture and throw it up on the blog....maybe this could make front page of website later...after I read Bible.
Suddenly, I heard a dripping. I glanced toward the guest bathroom doorway where the original kitten was gazing in mesmerized, detached amusement at the floor. Oh yeah, turn faucet off I reminded myself. (I always turn the faucet on for kitten and he jumps up and drinks every morning.) Must not waste water! The environment and Al Gore would truly thank my conscientious pursuit of water conservation. But, back to gold ribbon and musings how these looked so Neiman Marcus.....
Must turn off water, said self, so I went over to doorway to find the floor mats afloat and the digital scale under water. The NEW digital scale, that is....not like I love it or anything or like it actually helps me be dedicated to a lo carb lifestyle, but nevertheless, a new $25.00 scale which is now out of commission.
I love SHOP VACS, without which today I know I would have otherwise despaired. ELEVEN,
COUNT EM, ELEVEN DUMPS OF THE SHOP VAC INTO BATHTUB LATER, MY FLOOR IS ALMOST DRY, YET THERE IS THIS queer leak onto the floor. Opening the toothpaste drawer, i discover that it is at maximum capacity and overflowing on floor. Meanwhile cat is a detached onlooker. WHY AREN'T YOU A TALKING CAT? I muse.
Meanwhile, phone rings and BATMAN is wondering if I will drive 20+ miles to his job in the snow to fetch him his chop saw. OH yes!!!! I replied, I would be delighted to do so! So I go upstairs, get dressed, go outside, find the saw, and look at my rear back wheel which is flat. Upon inspection, someone who last filled up air neglected to put valve stem cap on valve stem. Let me just way it was not me. thank god for that.
Quietly and composedly I drove down the street passing my neighbor. 5 minutes later she calls me on my cell to inform me that my beloved dogs dug another hole in her front yard.
Whatever. I sweetly told her that AFTER it get done sleeting today I would be RIGHT OVER to tend to that little detail. Sweetly, I brought over to her one of my little cupcake bath bombs. She being thus delighted, we are once again, (tentative) friends.
Thank you Holy Spirit! Your peace reigns!
Just wanted to let you all know! Now, to that Bible Reading and to label troubleshooting part V! If anyone out there cares to point me in the direction where some troubleshooting might take a human form then hook me up!
Is this all worth it! I think so! Just checking email, two more people are requesting brochures, so, there you have it. Do NOT despise the day of small beginnings, saith the Lord!
