Plans Within Plans Within Plans

Well, after much thought, I've decided I'm going to make some candles this weekend specifically so I can take pictures of them for my website! I had some pictures I took a few months ago, but they didn't come out as well as I'd like. Besides, I've recently changed all of my labeling so it will match my website, so I'll need new pics anyway. I also put together a new "studio" (really just a simple plastic box that I lined with white paper, I'm being frugal!), so I'm eager to try it out again. The pictures of the 4 oz. wickless candles on my website were taken with the studio set up in my front room, which gets a lot of sunlight anyway, plus I have some clip on lights, too. I think they're decent. I didn't have time to really play around with the white balance and repositioning the clip on lights, but I'll take more time with the candles.

In other news, I'm donating a gift basket to the TXPPA, a professional orgainzation I belong to, for the Fall Conference in Bryan/College Station. I'm planning to make a candle, soap, lotion, and maybe a salt or sugar scrub for the basket. I think that will be fun to do, and if I leave myself enough time, I promise to post some pics of it, too!

Be sure to stop by my eBay store: Walking Leaf on eBay, and check out the great deals! I'm planning to load up some more stuff this weekend as well, so check back often! The holidays are upon us, there's no better place than eBay!

Have a great weekend, everyone! I look forward to seeing you soon!
