Lip Balm

The Busy Bee Store is now open for business. At the moment, it is home to all natural beeswax candles, a variety of lip balms, some great nail and cuticle oil, and a few supplies for making your own products. We will be adding more bath and beauty products in the coming days and weeks.

We have now had 7 sales in the new shop and I am super excited! All of the sales have been for our beeswax bars and beeswax candles.... and we are still waiting on a sale for some of our great lip balm.

Our lip balm is made with all natural ingredients that are wonderful for your lips. Way better than the typical drugstore lip balm full of chemicals and odd ingredients that are hard to even pronounce. 

Here are some of my favorites - take a look!

Each flavor is available as a single tube or as a set of three tubes.

-Grapefruit-
A burst of pink grapefruit

-Peppermint-
The tingling of peppermint

-Evergreen-
A fresh walk in the woods

Which flavor are you most interested in?

 Any suggestions?

Don't forget to check out our selection of beeswax candles 

and check back soon for more great bath and beauty products.

New Adventures

I am very excited to embark on another adventure...
in my craft room! Well, sort of two adventures. 

I have been so very busy this year working on my paper shop (which has been amazing!), leaving little time to work on my jewelry shop. Now that a new year is here, I am ready to get back to making jewelry. I have been spending a lot of time this month buying new supplies and thinking of new ideas preparing to revamp Craft Me Pretty.
A new collection will be available soon! 

Along with these shops, I will be opening another Etsy shop. This time with my other half!

Lately, he has become very interested in beeswax. Because we both love our Etsy shops (he has his own too!), we decided to open a shop together to sell beeswax and beeswax products.
 Our first creation.... Beeswax Lip Balm! 

Our store is not yet up and running, but soon you will be able to find our items at:

The Busy Bee - thebusybeestore.etsy.com

I have had such a wonderful, blessed year. I have had many opportunities to work with children, in and out of the classroom, and the success of my online business has surpassed anything I could have imagined. I am the happiest I have ever been and can't wait for the adventures ahead! 

Wishing you all a happy 2013!

Support the Cause

As most people know, October is breast cancer awareness month. I have created a set of bookmarks to sell in my shop this month, and probably after, for the occasion. The bookmarks are made with brown kraft cardstock, pink ribbons and silver awareness ribbon charms that say the word "hope". I will be donating a portion of each sale of this set to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. 

Take a look, spread the the word,
and help support the cause.

Simple And Sweet

As you know from past posts, I love to use quotes on items in my shop. Some of my most recent cards with quotes or sayings are very simple, yet some of my favorites. These lovely cards are available on white or kraft cardstock with black ink. Sometimes something simple is all that needs to be said.

I Love You To The Moon

Let's Be Adventurers

I'd Still Choose You

You Are My Sunshine

Which is your favorite??

Quote Me

Like I mentioned before, everyone loves quotes. People love to say them, share them on social media, and use them in their home as decor. Here are some lovely quotes I have available in 5x7 art prints. The simple black writing on bright white cardstock looks amazing framed on the wall. I even have one of these on the wall in my own kitchen. Can you guess which one??

Drink Tea - Read Books - Be Happy

You Can't Buy Happiness - But You Can Buy Tea

When All Else Fails - Take A Nap

You Are My Sunshine - My Only Sunshine

Keep Me In Your Heart - I'll Stay There Forever

 These lovely prints, as well as others, are available at Pretty Petals Paper Shop.

Take a look and Enjoy! 

For The Love Of Words

Well... I have been away awhile. Working with little ones at summer camp during the day and making orders during nights and weekends has been keeping me very busy. Over the last month or two I have introduced some new items in my shop. Like most people, I love quotes, sayings, and lyrics. I now carry a selection of note cards and art prints that have.. you guessed it!... classic quotes, sayings, and lyrics! 

Here are a few of my favorite new note cards, with fun sayings and colorful chevron backgrounds!
