100th Post and a Giveaway!!!! "Giveaway Now Closed"

I can't believe this is already my 100th post!!! It is sooooo exciting! When I started this blog I had no clue what I was doing, I am still pretty clueless but getting better! It's so funny ( and kind of embarassing ) to look back at my first posts, you can really tell I had no idea what I was doing. I love blogging and look forward to my next 100 posts and many more! It gives this stay at home mom/hermit something to do, I look forward to blogging, when I make something, find that great find, or anything exciting or not so exciting going on around here. Hubby thinks I'm a dork, as I am always saying oh I can't wait to blog about this and when I'm taking pictures of all my thrifty finds or even my grocery deals, I can see him out of the corner of my eye giving me that look like oh my look at this nut job, But he loves me and he knows it's given this lonely, bored, housewife a little something to look forward to, a hobby. I have met soooooo many wonderful and talented people through this blog, I mean seriously I am going to need a whole other blog just for my blogroll. Each and every one of you are so Awesome!

Ok enough of my sappy babbling, How about a giveaway?? Who wants to win some goodies? I am going to be listing a few giveaways separately that I think you will love! I picked out some of my favorite etsy finds just for you! I was going to list them all in one post but I really want to feature each talented seller individually and I could have done one big giveaway but I think a few little ones are more fun and gives more than just one person a chance to win! If I could I would give each of you something!


Ok let's start with my candles! You know I love to giveaway some yummy candles! One winner will receive all of the yummy things below!

A Bella 26oz Jar Candle in Pumpkin Pie! This candle is my favorite!

Of course you need a wick dipper for your candle!

And a bottle of my favorite cleaner! The Homeology All Purpose cleaner!

And finally a Diffuser in Ginger Lime!!!

First this post is so totally random and talks about 20 different things, so bare with me. So my friend Tracy and I are having a garage sale/craft sale/candle open house on Saturday. Geesh, could I add anything else to that? It was more of a garage sale/craft sale but then with the new fall/holiday products just being released I thought why not and added that in and invited people. So this is what I am preparing for this week, I will have TONS ( hopefully ) of pictures to show you of things I have redone at the end of the week. Seriously. Hopefully. Let's hope this lets to be a productive week. So anyway, Tracy brought over all or some of her stuff tonight, I'm not real sure. Well do you think any of it will make it to the garage sale? NO, I hate myself, ALOT of it will be staying with me. Yep, I am so buying some more junk. But just look at all the cute stuff!

2 of these huge pretty black and white floor cushions!!!

I don't have a girl, nor do I have pink anywhere but I do love these rugs! Maybe I could change out the trim to match my new craft room? These are pretty good size and there are 2.

You know we can make cute little boxes like this pretty and up to date!

She had a whole basket of cute jewelry!

A few neat jars!

Probably one of my favorites, this cute cute canvas picture! It's very good size! She said do you think you could redo this? Uh noooo it's cute as it is! Right?

Remember the part about totally random? Well here we go. So today I got a party order I placed with all my new fall pretties and smellies and oh my is it ever fun to open up these boxes full of candles and smell them all!!! Seriously one of my favorite parts about this business. I had 4 boxes of goodies! Though they aren't all mine I did get me a few for my party displays! Pumpkin pie, sugar cookie, Cozy Christmas, Autumn Walk, Caramel Ginger Strudel, sooooo many yummy ones! I started burning a gingerbread house today and Oh my goodness, it's awesome!

Some more yummo floor cleaner!! Love it!

The new pretty catalogs!!! Yippeee! Fall, Christmas!!

All kinds of diffusers, and the new emerge candle!!! Eeek!

The new apple dapple drops candles, So cute, right? And of course very yummo smelling!

Ok this little cutie is on clearance on my website www.CandleFlavor.com, I almost didn't order it but I am so glad I did! Now I want another! It is soooo cute!!! It holds a votive and at $3.37 sign me up!

But this, this my lovelies is absolutely my favorite! Again, I almost did not order it but it was clearanced to $11.75 and it is sooooo much cuter in person! I love love love it! It's much bigger than I expected too!

And these, the Candy Cane Christmas Columns!! Love them!!! These go fast every year!! So cute! My husband asked where I got the Dr. Suess candlesticks, funny funny man. Tis why he does not decorating in the home.

And finally, the new sugar cookie diffuser....Sugar Cookie is one of my favorites!!! And now it comes in a diffuser and I love it! I had to use this one for myself!

More random....I never shared these, found them at Goodwill last Saturday and let's just say they got a new look. I was however a bit partial to them as my first sons room was done in this pattern. Awww...


And here is my desk I got for $25 that I never shared!!! Don't you love it!! The top drawers are fake but it opens from the top, sooo cute and will be great black with some distressing! Can't wait to finish it!!!

Ok so I know this post is getting longer and longer but Lemme just tell you about these fabulous candles for a second if you haven't already used them yourself. First off the scent lasts the ENTIRE candle, Secondly they are double wicked ( except the smaller ones ) and burn down to the bottom leaving no wax build up on the sides which means you have a pretty jar to reuse after the candle is gone, Third if you keep the wick trim and use your wick dipper to put the candle out ( never blow a candle out! ) you won't get all that nasty black soot!

Now if you don't burn candles in the summer then you must try a scent pod warmer or a diffuser, these are just as Awesome as the candles. They are also soooo pretty! You must must must try the Ginger Lime, it is the most fabulous scent, it's a clean citrusy smell and I am not kidding my friends it's awesome. Oh and we don't only sell fabulous candles, we have plant based all natural cleaner that is fabulous, At an open house a couple of weeks ago I sold 6 bottles of that, it smells sooooo good and it's Awesome! Also we have the Emerge body line and that is another popular one, at my open house a friend of mine who is a massage therapist did hand massages with the lotion and I sold several bottles of it as well. It's a nice soft scent and it leaves your hands sooo soft and not oily.

To register visit www.CandleFlavor.com and click on candles, then click on the register link to the right! Alright, I think I covered everything, lol....If you have any questions please do ask, I love answering your emails!

Next up is the HomeOlogy cleaners! These are Awesome! I LOVE the All Purpose cleaner and the Floor Cleaner! These are plant based and all natural! Aromatherapy for your home!



And how about these cute little Swanky Cakes coming in a set of 2! These can be used with tealights or votives! These just came out in the Summer catalog May 1st!

How about some Strawberry Rhubarb Pie? These are the baking line candles and are 19oz and these are definately my FAVORITE! Just a few of the scents in the baking line include Lemon Bar, Key Lime Pie, Banana Nut Bread, Sooo Many to choose from! A Great little tip, the jars can be reused and can be easily cleaned after you have used it all up!

Don't like burning candles in the summer? This is a Great Alternative! The diffusers last approximately 3 to 5 months and they also come with the cute little appliques as shown in the picture above to dress up your jar, though it's beautiful without them! These are great in a bathroom, office, anywhere you don't want a candle burning! Fresh Orange and Ginger Lime are my favorites for these!



Here is another alternative to burning candles, these are scent pod warmers! Most of these include an automatic off timer with your choice of 4, 8, or 12 hours! The scent pods are available in over 50 scents including Sugar Cookie, Sweet Pea, Cinnamon, and Birthday Cake, So many to choose from! The pods last up to 20 hours...


And Finally the Emerge body line! This comes in hand soap, body lotion, hand scrub, hand lotion, and more! My favorite is the hand scrub and hand lotion! I am not one to use alot of hand lotion and I love this, it does not leave your hands oily or carry to strong of a scent, it's just right and makes your hands silky soft!
