Just catching up with my news on here. It dates back to last year, lol!

ANNOUNCEMENTS
We are now sharing a Cafepress store with my good friend, Jen Suttorp with her shop - A Starry Grove Gallery. She is also my Renaissance Faire representative. Please visit the new store online at http://www.cafepress.com/astarrygrove/2775001. When purchasing items off of that site, you will have to pay for those items on that site. You cannot pay for those items on the Autumn Moon website.
The fragrance list for our bath and body section has not been updated in a while, so the list is now up to date with all of our skin safe fragrances.
We now have a Candle Safety page. Please take a moment to read over the information that is posted on that page. Check back every now and again in case new information has been added to this page. We want to ensure that you properly burn your candle, to get the most out of it, as well as keep your home safe.
There is also an Ordering and Shipping page on the site. Please take a moment to read it over so that you know how the process goes.
We are offering Host/Hostess parties online or in your home. See website for details.

Working out

2006-01-18T17:55:45Z

I just got done working out. Whew! I'm tired! It gets harder and harder to lose weight when you get older. I've lost a few pounds so far. Got about 10 more to go! LOL! I'm gonna be 30 years old on Saturday. The years just keep going by faster and faster. But you know what? I'm not going to let my mind age. My body may, but I will always be young at heart. :-)

New Website!

2006-01-15T00:37:49Z

My new website is up on the net! Check it out! It looks great! www.autumn-moon.com
I've been so busy in the last month that I have not had a chance to post anything, sorry guys. I will try to post a little more now that things have calmed down just a bit.

Most recent show...

2005-12-05T18:56:12Z

Saturday was my last candles, soaps and gifts show for the year until early spring. It went extremely well and I sold a print of my Blood Moon painting!!! Now that I do not have a day job, I have a ton more time on my hands so that I can paint, paint, paint!!! Yay! Getting laid off from my job has been the greatest gift from the heavens that I have every received! I am getting a lot of organinzing done and I don't feel stressed out anymore. I can spend time with my husband and do as much art as I want during the day! Plus, I can make nice dinners because I love to cook and never could because I got home so late. Happy, happy, joy, joy. Tis the season for love and happiness. Thank you for reading my rambling for the day. Gotta go do some cardio now. Gotta look good for that bikini! We might be visiting Jeff's parents in the Bahamas in January!!! What a birthday that will be if we go!

*sprinkles love and happiness over friends and family*

love and light ~Christina
