Essential Bliss Silky Bath Soak


Thank you Jil!  For telling me how to load pictures and images.  You're right - it is easy and I should have paid more attention... blogging is still very new to me and I'm not even doing it daily yet... so far, you may be the only other person besides myself who sees this.

This is my Essential Bliss letterhead, which Bev made resizeable so I can print it on a transfer sheet to apply to the fronts of T-shirts, as well as the top of my invoices and correspondence.  Isn't it beautiful?  Wait until you see my labels ~ there are two different designs for each fragrance for two different package sizes for a 16 oz jar and a 2 oz trial size package, which will also make wonderful stocking stuffers!

I have been busy making large batches of bath salts and so far have 20 jars filled and labeled of my Sweet Pea fragrance and the Lavender.  Yesterday I worked to fill 20 jars of the Pear scent and today I will finish off with the labels.  That will leave two more fragrances left to fill which are Violet and Lilac.  These are what I am starting with.  So far I think the Sweet Pea is my favorite.

Now that I know how, I will post more pics soon.

Gettin' There...

     Okay, my labels are finished thanks to my friend Bev of In My Cedar Chest fame.  When I knew I was going to start marketing my bath salts I went straight to her for all of my graphic design.  I was so relieved that she was willing to take me on!  She was my only choice and I'm so happy with what she has created!

     So today I am crinkling ribbons.  Later I will mix up big batches of my wonderful bath salts and get them into the jars and envelopes.  I am offering my salts in 16 oz jars and 2 oz trial size (and perfect stocking stuffer size) in pretty bags tied with the crinkled ribbons.

      I will try to post a pic of a little preview of the theme of my label design which is also in my logo letterhead design, which I plan to also put on T-shirts.  I am new to this blogging business (and Bev is also designing my blog page which will come soon) but I haven't tried uploading pics yet.

     So until then I'm going to be so busy in the coming weeks, I don't think I will even notice that summer hasn't really come to the Pacific Northwest yet.
