A blissful geek

Posted:July 6, 2009June 28, 2013

After a long and crazy weekend spent out of town with a bunch of friends, I am back and working like mad on articles and “product development” for Geek Bliss. I love saying “product development” like that…sounds so important and everything. LOL! Today the first batch of packaging labels arrived, which were merely a test for label design, and they look sooo good. The design does need tweaking (text too small, obviously), but damn if I’m not just giddy with the results so far!

A sheet of candle labels, looking better than I'd expected!

A label on a candle. The labels aren't quite the right size for these tins, but these are just test tins. The labels rock though! Yay!

And then in the course of hunting online for some things for a Geek Girls Rock article, I came across an 80s Swatch phone on eBay. Must add it to my collection, because I wanted one of these sooo badly back in the day and never had one. And it’s pink—even better!

Ok, enough playing with my website for the moment…must get back to concocting yummy-smelling things, lol.

Happy belated 4th of July, too! :-)

Lotsaart.

Old Camera Project

As I was rooting through box after box of old stuff, readying for my upcoming move, I came across an old camera I last used in Ireland back in 1997. I learned back then how to use it properly, but have since forgotten. The camera has seen better days, and I’m not certain it works…

This movie is HOW much on Amazon?! Apparently, I have a valuable antique.

I have a love affair with movies that I love. When a movie speaks to me, and I fall in love with it, I’ll end up owning it in many various formats (I still own VHS tapes of favorite movies, bought way back when they came out on VHS, and then got them in DVD…

Wee cute thing

So as I was reading favorite blogs yesterday, I came across a post at Paris Breakfasts where she was showing images of bird figures around Paris. She also showed a photo of a small bird figure she bought some time back when in the city…and I immediately, instantly, irrevocably fell in love: So I followed…

Just read this amazing, gorgeous poem, “Leap of Faith,” in the 2009 We’Moon calendar; it goes perfectly with 12 Secrets‘ Secret #1 and my response to it.
