Make Over for Snowberry Creek

Julie & I have decided to close the doors (so to speak) on Snowberry Creek Sample Boxes. We have enjoyed working with each of you and hope to stay in touch. We have shipped out the last of the samples in the boxes that left yesterday. If you have been sending us notices about your company's promotions, sales, etc. and want to continue to do so; that will be fine. I don't mind reposting them on our blog. Good luck to each and every one of you.

Julie & I will be revamping the site and embarking on another venture together. We are opening Snowberry Creek Emporium. This site will feature our items and it will be a varied lot. lol

We promised in the beginning that the etailers would always have a link on our website and we will honor that promise. As long as Snowberry Creek exists, the link to your website will be posted and available for our customers to find you. Same on the blog - no one's links will be removed from the blog. Please feel free to come by and say hi - leave us comment any time you wish. We will miss working with you, but feel that it is time for a change.

Is It An Honor or a Bother?

As most people know, Julie & I run Snowberry Creek together. We do live quite close to one another, but live in different counties. Actually, a river is the county line. Well, to my story or question.

Friday I call Julie on my cell to tell her my (mis)fortune. I had a call from a very nice gentleman informing me that I am to report to the Clark County Courthouse on Wed. morning at 9:00 for jury orientation and the trial will follow. My cell didn't have service at the time, so the nice gentleman just left the message. Wonder what would have happened if I hadn't gotten it? He didn't bother to call my house or ask for confirmation that the message was received. Would I have been in comtempt of court for not appearing?

As I've never served on the jury before, I was a little confused. I thought that you first report for jury selection before serving. Julie tells me she thinks the same and is very sympathic (in a best friend kinda way - lol). Although, she did receive a paper to fill out (at the same time I did) from her county. She is hoping that she's not called and so far it's looking pretty good.

I'm thinking the timing couldn't be worse as the hubs & I had a business trip planned to leave for Pendleton, OR on Sept. 22. I decided to call the Circuit Clerk's office to see if I could get a few more details. She informs me that it is for jury selection.....she says don't cancel your trip yet because you may not be selected (fingers crossed). Then she continues to fill me in....the trial is scheduled to last 7 days (well, if I'm selected...there goes the trip!) Oh, and you will be on the jury roster for the next THREE months.

Hmm....I'm wondering what kind of trial this is. I'll admit that I'm a bit curious to watch and observe the judical system at work. But then again, it seems to me that people are arrested, wait years to go to trial, taxpayers money is spent...hands slap or short sentence and back on the streets again for another go round. So my question is this, "Is it an honor or a bother to be selected to serve on the jury?" I cannot answer this question as I've never served but maybe someone that has can shed some light on the subject.

Oh- by the way, Julie received a call on SUNDAY morning at 9:00 am that she has to report in her county for jury selection on Thursday. She was on the phone with me at 9:01 to tell me her good fortune - LOL Aren't we just the lucky ones! :)

Summer is Heating Up!














Picture by: Greg Mankiss


Heating up is an understatement. Summer in Arkansas is HOT and humid! Makes us all look forward to those crisp, fall days...Julie & I just had a discussion on how the Eastern Seaboard is having a heat wave and the media is all atwitter. If California or the Western U.S. has a heat wave that too is a newsworthy event. We have many days of over 100° temps in Arkansas and it is very rarely newsworthy. Well, maybe if we have 15 or 20 days of 100° temps in a row...just maybe. I think the reason is that we are always hot in July & August so no one pays much attention to us. If you live in Arkansas, then you know that it will be HOT and it will be HUMID. My great-grandmother called those hot days "the dog days of summer".

This gets me to wondering why the old-timers called those hot, humid days in late July and August "dog days". Off to "Google" I went to see what I could find on this subject. The "dog days of summer" are the hottest, most sultry days of the year. Well, that certainly qualifies our days in Arkansas to be labeled as such!
The "dog days" usually occur between early July and early September. I found it interesting that "dog days" may be used to define a period that is very hot or stagnant or that is marked by a dull lack of progress. These are the days of the year when rainfall is at its lowest. I can definitely understand the lack of progress! It’s hard to move when you almost have a heatstroke from very little effort and you’re drenched from the humidity.

It is curious to note that the name was derived from an ancient belief that Sirius, also known as the Dog Star, was responsible for the hot weather. Once upon a time “dog days” were thought to be an evil time – “when the seas boiled – wine turned sour and all creatures became languid, causing to man burning fevers, hysterics, and phrensies” according to Brady’s Clavis Calendarium, 1813.

To me “dog days” means hot & tired – so hot that it is almost impossible to catch your breath or move your feet. It’s when you pray that your air-conditioner doesn’t fail; you feel sorry for anyone that has to work outside; the grass has all turned brown and crunchy; any outdoor activity involves laying in a pool of water and drinking tall glasses of cold refreshments. Just simply too hot to do anything but lie around in the shade or better yet under the a/c while waiting on fall to arrive.
We are “smack dab” in the middle of the Dog Days, so while I’m waiting for them to pass - I’m dreaming of cool, crisp fall air!

Note: For those of you that have never heard the phrase “smack dab” – it’s another of my great-granny’s sayings - it means right there – directly, squarely.















If you are experiencing the Dog Days of summer you may want to try some of our etailers handcrafted bath & body products for your refreshing bath! Or maybe a handpoured candle that reminds you of fall or winter. It's worth a try!

10 Reasons for Shopping for Handmade/Handcrafted Products

1. Unique one-of-a-kind items
2. Products created using natural ingredients
3. Like supporting small business owners.
4. Better customer service than a large company that only offers automated service.
5. Meeting the artisan/crafter that created the product.
6. High quality & excellent craftsmanship of the item/product
7. Made with love and pride in the product
8. Helps small entrepreneurs live their dream
9. Shopping local farmers markets, craft malls, etc. helps build the economy in your area
10. Skill & craftsmanship put into the product/item.

I’m sure you can think of many other reasons for buying handmade/handcrafted. Please feel free to share those reasons with us. Personally, I support small business for the simple fact that our country started out with businesses such as these and I like handcrafted products. I have met many interesting people buying or shopping handcrafted and I've found some fantastic products. The customer service is tops!

Many artisans depend upon your patronage to keep their businesses afloat. Some crafters run a business to supplement their other income, as a hobby, or as a full-time job. If you are looking for quality, one-of-a-kind products remember to shop for handmade/handcrafted products. There are many websites that offer products that are fully created and crafted by a real live person. You may find handcrafted items on sites such as Etsy and Artfire to name a couple of places. There are many other places to buy handcrafted, including individual business websites. If you look around you may find some places that support handcrafted such as Indie Public, Handmade Highway, Snowberry Creek, and many other blogs. Look around….you may be pleasantly surprised by the quality of products out there. We have many talented e-tailers in our sample box….be sure to check them out while you’re out browsing around.

Don’t Forget – Father’s Day, June 20th

Where in the world did this year get off to? Seems only yesterday that it was January, now it's June! Father's Day is just around the corner don't forget to pamper your Dad on his special day. Ye Olde Chandler has a new line of soaps that any Dad would love to have.

Father's Day is June 20th so get your dad something special this year! Ye Olde Chandler's Four Elements Soap Collection is both Dad and Husband approved! All four have scents that men enjoy as we have found out from using them in our own homes! Also try coordinating candles in Tiger Eyes, Stormy Day, Black Magic and Asian Sandalwood.

This poem is a tribute to the man many of us call Dad. Anyone can be a biological father, but a Dad is a special person.

What Makes a Dad

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ... Dad
Author Unknown

Pamper your Dad, spend time with him....enjoy him. Those memories will last a lifetime.

Memorial Day - Remember our Troops













Take time for reflection this holiday weekend. Please remember the brave men & women who have defended & those who defend today - our country so that we may enjoy hot dogs, hamburgers, fireworks, etc. While we are immersed in festivities with our families, they are many miles from home in less than ideal conditions so that we may enjoy our liberties. A heartfelt Thank You to the ones who choose to serve our country!


Lee Greenwood's song below expresses how I feel to be an American. Most Americans know this song, but I thought I'd include it in this post to pay tribute to our troops! God bless them and keep them safe.

Artist: Lee Greenwood
Song: Proud To Be An American

If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.

I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘ Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.

And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.

That I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

And I’m proud to be and American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

Country Keepsakes - New Creations

Are you hungry? If you're not, you soon will be after looking at Becky's new creations! Oh my....I want some of that pineapple upside down cake! These candles look good enough to eat and they will make your home smell as if you've been baking all day.

Mother's Day is fast approaching - May 9th. If you go on over to Country Keepsakes and order maybe she can get it to you in time. You will have to ask because I'm not sure of her turn-around time.














Braided Banana Nut Bread














Granny Cake
















Candy Bar Cake















Angel Food Cake with Strawberries













Cinnamon Bun Melts














Pineapple Upside Down Cake


Hope you've enjoyed looking at the newest creations from Country Keepsakes. You may visit the store at http://cntrykeepsakes.comor for wholesale inquiries please visit CK Wholesale at cntrykeepsakeswholesale.com. You may want to visit her blogs and you may find the links at Country Keepsakes. Becky has lots to offer in her store as well as on her blogs. I thoroughly enjoy reading them.

I asked Becky for a few words of wisdom for anyone thinking of starting a business. I believe she is right on target.

My words of wisdom (by Becky) - If you are passionate about your business you will succeed. Always do something to put your business out there, whether it is 10 minutes or many hours. Building a business takes time and effort and just because you are self-employed doesn't mean you will have a lot of time on your hands. Being self-employed is usually harder than being employed as you have to have self discipline. There are many free advertising opportunities out there, but places that offer to send your samples out help you get your product out to many people for only the "cost" of what your samples cost you to make and postage...and will increase your chances of being noticed by a larger audience-people like to touch, feel, and smell (in my case) what you have to offer. This gives them a chance to do so, and not just a banner ad on a site-although that is helpful also.

Remember the pictures above are wax creations from Country Keepsakes....not real food. I know it is hard to believe as they look so real. They will look & smell great sitting around, but I bet they will fill the room with the most wonderul aroma while burning.

Satisfied customer sings our praises!

It is always exciting to hear someone who confirms what we already think. We think that we have the best sample box and some very talented e-tailers, but we always love hearing what our customers think. From time to time, we may opt to share some of their opinions. We want our e-tailers to know that people think you have the most FANTASTIC products! Thanks to everyone who participates in our boxes and for allowing us to promote your products and company. Here's the glowing review from Christina C:

Feel welcome to use my comment!

I bought my first box from Snowberry Creek this month and it was the BEST sample box ever. I love your boxes and would like to become a regular customer. Thanks for what you do!
And it really was the best. It had the most samples, the largest sizes, and the fewest tart or "odds n' ends" samples. Not that those are bad samples, but they're not bath and body samples that I crave.


Thanks for choosing our sample box, Christina C. We certainly appreciate you taking time to let us know what you think.

Our e-tailers offer a variety of products - you may order directly from their websites.

Joy of Soy

by Lesli of Ye Olde Chandler Hand Made Soy Candles

Soy!! It’s everywhere these days but what’s so great about it? I’m sure you’ve heard about the health benefits that adding soy to your diet can bring but did you know that soy is being used in candles? Soy candles are rapidly gaining in popularity due to the fact that they burn much cleaner than paraffin candles and therefore do not cause the respiratory problems in some people that paraffin candles can.

Interested in the Green movement for a better planet? Soy wax is made from soybeans grown right here in the USA and is the second largest grain crop we produce. As a renewable resource, the widening use of soybeans contributes to our society’s move away from fossil fuels and towards the reduction in greenhouse gases. Paraffin, on the other hand is a byproduct of petroleum. When crude oil is “mined” the paraffin is refined out as undesirable. After the refining process it is sold off to companies that use paraffin wax. The carbon in the paraffin is what leads to all that nasty black soot that you’ll see not only on your candle jars but also on the walls of your home. With soy you will have much less soot production and therefore much better air quality.

Soy candles not only burn cleaner than paraffin, they burn longer. 50% longer in fact! Soy burns slower and at a cooler temperature than paraffin creating a longer lasting product. This also aids in scent distribution which is why soy candles usually smell stronger than paraffin. The fact that it burns cooler also makes it safer for children and pets. I’m not suggesting pouring hot soy wax on yourself but in the event of an accident the consequences are less dire. Plus if you do spill liquid soy wax it cleans up easily with soap and water. Just try that with paraffin! Are you an animal lover or Vegan? Soy candles are also safe for you since soy wax is made exclusively from soybeans, no animal products are used.

So making the switch from paraffin to soy is a small step towards cleaner, healthier air in your home and a happier planet Earth!
