Here is my first installment of Mish Mash Monday!! There is a McKlinky at the end of the of the post if you would like to join me! Mish Mash Monday - is where I will post everything that doesn't make a whole post, interesting sites/blogs I find during the week, maybe a "Must See" give away, sometimes a recipe I've tried, or whatever makes me happy! :)

1) Please check out the Etsy Mini's on the left sidebar - they are new! I will change the mini's at the end of every month - there are some amazing shops!

2) There is still time to enter the give away for my hand painted jean blanket. The draw will be on Friday at 10PM! (click on picture to enter)

3) I purchased some Soy Candle Tarts from Flowering Tree Botanicals!
I just LOVE them!! I bought them in 3 scents: Pumpkin Spice, Vanilla & Harvest Mix. Was just at Layla's shop and noticed she has a huge 1/2 price sale on right now!! If you check it out and happen to make a purchase - please mention me :)


4)Vanilla has always been my all time favorite scent. Bev (Heritage Bath Essentials) had some of her lotions, candles, gift baskets etc. in our Christmas Craft & Gift Shop this year. So every time I was working in the store I could smell the candles and would eye her containers of whipped body butter.

On the 24th I was at the store all day and finally broke down & bought the body butter. After using it in the afternoon I had a new favorite lotion, a new favorite scent and promptly bought a candle Bev had in the same scent. WOW!! I just love this scent - it is definitely my new favorite!! Oh - do you want to know what it is? POMEGRANATE! Bev happens to live about 20 minutes from my house. She does also ship to the US! Please check out her site, and if you email her or happen to make a purchase - please mention me :)

5) Word of the Year:
One of my favorite blogs to visit is With An Angel On My Shoulder. While reading it the other day - I noticed that Ter had a "Word of the Year 2010" post and that got me thinking. What would me word of the year be? There are so many things I need to improve on, do, prioritize etc. So I thought about if for a couple of days and then it hit me!!

My word for 2010 is:

ORGANIZE
Main Entry: or·ga·nize
Pronunciation: \ˈȯr-gə-ˌnīz\
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): or·ga·nized; or·ga·niz·ing
Date: 15th century transitive verb

1 : to cause to develop an organic structure
2 : to form into a coherent unity or functioning whole : integrate
3 a : to set up an administrative structure for b : to persuade to associate in an organization; especially : unionize
4 : to arrange by systematic planning and united effort

This is what I will do for 2010!! Organize my life (I hope)! Do you have a word of the year? I would love to hear about it!
