Tis the Season

Tis past the season for my computer to be fixed, yet it still sits on a shelf somewhere. I certainly hope that Santa has an elf or two to see his way to clear to put a computer fix on my horizon, but til then, I am having to list the Neat-O shops all together again. I am sooooooooo sorry, but the new year will bring new posts, I am determined!!!!!!!!!

Til then, Merry Christmas or merry whatever you celebrate, but for me and my house, we are celebrating the birth of our Lord! I hope that all of you and yours have a blessed season and remember the reason for that season! While giving of yourself is certainly not limited to one day or even one month, this is the time to remember why we do what we do, and to consider whom we are doing it all for. So peace, love and joy to you all! I also wish happiness and health to everyone for the coming new year!

Due to Christmas, there will only be 4 days of promoting this week, here are those companies; Monday- www.bluetricycle.etsy.com Tuesday- www.pearlsquiltedcrafts.etsy.com Saturday- www.npsunshine.etsy.com Sunday- www.bythewayside.etsy.com

Hi Everyone, I am still disconnected from the world, with mty computer in the shop. I have borrowed this one for a few minutes to list the Neat-O shops for the week, please be sure and check them out! I will, hopefully, have my computer back this week sometime! Even if not, I will have access to one long enough to post a time or two later this week, so please be patient with me! I never would have believed that I would be so computer dependant, but look at me now! lol.

Anywho, ya'll have a great week and I promise to get you something new to read by Wednesday! Thanks for all your well wishes and keep on prayin' for a speedy and inexpensive fix for my computer will ya?! Lol, thanks!

Houston, I have a problem here!

I am in the midst of a nightmare! My computer has crashed. I am not one of those fortunate people who have more than one, and I was stupid enough to not have uploaded all my business items to a zip file or other such ingenious device. So, to say that I am in a huge state of panic, is putting things rather mildly! I am currently on a borrowed laptop to update this and check emails, but I will soon be without computer again. Once you are use to having it on daily, and talking to all your new-found friends across the world, being subjugated to the non techy world again is really a trip.....and a bad one at that! If you would have told me four or five years ago that I would rely so heavily upon this world wide web thing, I would have laughed at you and told you that I preferred the REAL world! Now the LOL is on me! I am a web addict and I admit it, now how will I get my computer back up and running? I hope that the Geek Squad will take pity on me and not clean out my meager bank balance, but I must have my computer back!

Since I have no idea if/when I will be saved, I am putting up the neat-o list for the week. I am sorry for the few ones I missed, believe me, I would have LOVED being connected so I could have written about them! I will add them to my featured shops as soon as I get back up and running. Meanwhile, please visit these fine shops and pray for a speedy, inexpensive fix for my laptop! The essential oils are completed now, so next time I post we will be looking at items you can use to make your home more spa like!

ESSENTIAL OILS CONTINUED

-ROSE Essential oil is a very expensive oil and how expensive largely depends upon the manner of distillation. From rosa damascena you can purchase Rose Absolute Oil for approx. $155 an ounce. This is solvent extracted oil, from fresh petals, or you can buy Rose (Bulgarian) Essential Oil, also made from the fresh petals, but steam distilled at about $380 an ounce! 
Lesser is not always better though. The absolute oil is NOT therapeutic grade quality due to the solvents used in its distillation process. As for scent, they both produce a rich scent, but the absolute oil has a sweet, spicy-floral, tenacious odor, while the Bulgarian is deeper, richer and has more of a sweet-floral scent that is also slightly spicy.
