Tweet TweetPosted On: January 6th, 2010 by Jenn
I tweet. I tweet more than I blog, so I added a side bar widget that displays my latest tweets. I attempted to find something that would allow me to automatically display all my tweets as actual blog posts on this website, but have been unsuccessful thus far (I haven’t looked ina very in depth manner as of yet though). But if anyone has any suggestions for a nifty plug-in or something that allows a person to visit Twitter, write a tweet and then have it automatically display on your website as a ful fledged blog post - fill me in, share a link. I’m very interested. I already have it set up where my tweets update my facebook and myspace accounts with the new tweet, I’d like to get the old blog in on the action. Visit one site (Twitter), shoot off 140 characters and update 4 sites at once. Very handy. Happy 2010Posted On: January 1st, 2010 by Jenn
Ok, this year I vow to try and write more, and use this blog as an outlet to improve on my creative writing. It also needs a design overhaul, which eventually I’ll be inspired to do. I will write a lot about all the mundane trivial details of my farm-living, soap-making, child-raising, web-designing, full time-creative dept. working life. I will post pictures again, I will stop neglecting this website like I have been doing for so long. I will post boring stuff about making soap, and new products, and you’ll all be facinated by it. Here’s to 2010, the year I blog a lot. Soap Selling WomanPosted On: December 19th, 2009 by Jenn
I now have a total of three craft shows under my belt. They all went really well, and I was pleased with all three of them. I plan to branch out in 2010, and peddle my soapy wares at more and more shows. I really enjoy them, my family usually goes and hangs out with me, helps me set up and tear down (we’re getting pretty streamlined at it too). Visit Farmers Apothecary to see all the soapy wonderment I’m talking about. Snow Day!Posted On: December 8th, 2009 by Jenn
We’ve had our first snow here in northern Missouri. They called off school today due to a winter storm that is moving in and planning on dropping about a foot of snow on us. I stayed home from work today too, mainly because I didn’t really want to get stuck in town and away from home. Our 1/2 mile long driveway always seems to drift shut, and it’s still snowing like mad here. I have a ton of stuff around the house to catch up on, lotion making, lip balms, labeling, and the ever exciting laundry! I may try to get a site redesign sqeezed into the day too, but I don’t know if that’ll happen or not. New Job UpdatePosted On: October 12th, 2009 by Jenn
I love my new job. I get to create things on the computer, I don’t have to directly interact with customers, I get to design things, and our department is pretty much the marketing department for the whole agency. I love it! Its the best paying job I’ve ever had, its the first job I’ve ever had that offers insurance and benefits too. I get paid sick leave and vacation days just like everyone else that works there (unlike my last job). Hopefully I’ll start working on the agency website pretty soon. I desperately needs a complete overhaul ASAP. It’s hideous right now. Everyone has been very nice and welcoming. I’ve been there a month now, & I’m so glad I got it! Anjelic - ClosedPosted On: October 12th, 2009 by Jenn
I decided to close my Anjelica Huston fan site and let the domain name expire. I just had no desire to maintain it any more. So, if you were wondering what happened to it… there you go. First Craft ShowPosted On: October 11th, 2009 by Jenn
My very first craft show as a vendor is coming up October 17 & 18, its a 2-day show with an average of 15,000 attending. For the past few months I’ve been madly making, wrapping, labeling, and so on, products for the show. I’ve created around 400 bars of soap, 10 dozen sugar scrubs, over 150 bath bombs, and some other assorted products. I’m working on how I want my display set up, an have been gathering baskets, table covers, and other decor for the booth. I’ve had my banner printed, and my shipment of shopping bags will be in on Wednesday. Set-up is this Friday, and the show kicks off Saturday morning at 9am. Wish me luck!

A New Nephew!Posted On: August 29th, 2009 by Jenn
My little sister is having a baby today. My new nephew will make his debut sometime later today! A New Job!Posted On: August 28th, 2009 by Jenn
I have a new job! I am now the Communications & Resource Development Coordinator for a non-profit organization in my county that assists low-income families in various ways. I will be creating promotional material, writing newsletters, providing website assists, and just generally all around using my creative ability to help people in a way that actually HELPS them. I am very much looking forward to starting in September, and hope I’ll be able to keep up with, what looks to be, a very demanding position. « Older | Layout - BCD | Artwork - Frank Cho |
