Fundraising

Last week we volunteered to submit a prize in an auction to help a 6 month old Italian Greyhound in rescue. Emmy Lou is at Hazel Jane's in Oklahoma and needs surgery to correct her knees...she was born without knee-caps. Little Emmy Lou is positively adorable and full of life, and I can't wait to see a video of her after her surgery! Here she is now: EMMY LOU

Pam from Tampa won our prize in Emmy's auction - 4 SOY-SOY Good! 16 ounce Ball Elite jar candles with free shipping and 15% off her next order at K.Liz Designs. Not a bad prize, and we're so thankful to have been able to help out!

**************************************************************************************************

This weekend is the 2nd Annual UHIB ABKC Super Bully Show at Aloha Stadium. We've been invited to participate by our dear friend Kale, who is the founder of K9 Kokua. K9 Kokua is a non-profit that does whatever they can to assist the homeless on Oahu's beaches with their canine companions. They provide food, shampoo, vetting, and rehoming options for dogs that would otherwise go without. Kale is amazing and so are the folks who work with her. Kale invited us to participate in this event to get our name "out there" with the local community. I've turned it into a fundraiser for KK. We have about 80 eight ounce jelly jar candles in 12 different fragrances that we'll be selling at the K9 Kokua booth all day on Sunday.

We're excited to participate and hopefully raise some money for this great, and much needed group!

We were invited to submit a prize for the Battle of the Bands fundraiser in support of Autism Awareness on May 15th in Georgia! Thank you Kristin Dechant for thinking of us to participate in your event! ROCKING THE SPECTRUM.

As with the auction for Emmy Lou, our donation to the auction will be four 16 ounce Ball Elite jar candles, fragrance & color chosen by the winner, with free shipping, and 15% off of their next order.

We are honored to be a part of this exciting event!

Found out for the first time what happens when I add too much fragrance...

New Fragrances

We got new fragrances today!

LEMONGRASS SAGE - A wonderful blend of garden herbs and sparkling citrus notes. Hearty lemongrass and fresh, earthy sage combine to complete this uplifting fragrance.

SPLASH OF RAIN - A splash of rain signals the beginning of spring! Fresh, floral and ozone notes blend with subtle tones of pretty rose petals and sensuous woods. Fresh & crisp like a rainy spring day.

NONI FRUIT - A crisp and exotic blend of Asian pear, bitter melon and lemon verbena twisted with a hint of ginger.

MANGO CILANTRO - Tropical Mango Nectar mixes with Fresh Green Cilantro in this exotic blend. A captivating frangrance that makes you think of faraway places.

We're up to 96 options now.  Whoo hoo!

Early Tuesday

So, because the husband gets up early on Tuesday's, the doggers decided that they wanted to get up as well. I'd been fighting it since about 5am, but succumbed to the needs of the fur-kids at 6:15. 

The coffee just finished brewing and the pups are all sacked out on the chair with me.  They'll eat in 40 minutes and my day will officially begin.

On today's plate:

1. Candle-making for the K9 Kokua fundraiser on the 25th
2. Fulfill recent orders
3. Ship candles already made

I'm looking forward to a productive day.  It's a hot one outside...maybe once I've finished working, I'll do some yardwork.  Hmmm...there's a thought.
