Awesome new site like paypal!

I am so stoked!

OK this site seems to be free for the most part. It isnt as fully featured as PayPal with the debit card and all that, but this site will allow you to transfer funds between you and another person who is a member for FREE! This means you got a mom and dad 70 miles away and you need money? NOT a problem! No more having to pay PayPal fees on that money! Want to buy something from my shop but are short on cash! NOT a problem! Money Exchange give you 25 bucks for signing up, and thats no joke. All I had to do to get thru the signup was enter my name address phone number, blah blah, and they DID ask for my SS# (Socialist Security Number) at the last step. But after that your account is credited with 25 bucks, and you have the option of linking it to your bank account and adding more, very similar to PayPal.

They seem to be making their money by charging you to withdraw your funds. Its like 2 bucks for a check, and FREE money transfers to your bank but they can take a few days...a check can too! They also have overdraft fees and all that crap like a bank. You cannot overdraw PayPal, trust me if you could I would have already done it LOL I have yet to overdraw PayPal LOL

But here is the button. If you click this link it takes you there and I get a lil something for referring you. My email address is auroras_garden@insightbb.com so you know the right one is showing up when you click thru.

Thanks guys, and get your butt in my shop and spend some of this free money!

Update on my shops!

well...I made a shop for my soap on Etsy. I named it Maylee's Garden...she has to have one too ya know!

I figured the soap and clothes should be seperate. I think this is a good business move?? If it proves to NOT be a good business move I will keep everything in Auroras Garden. I have promoted Auroras Garden so much everyone knows where it is, but Maylee's garden is not getting much attention. I havent had time to promote it much.

I made a myspace page for Maylee's Garden If your on myspace be her friend! She likes friends.

If your on Etsy, make her a favorite shop!

I still have soap in my shop, but I am putting all new soaps in Maylees shop.

I have also marked all the soap in Auroras Garden at 3.00 to move it out quicker so I can make this transition quicker cause I am impatient!! Just CLICK HERE and you will go to the sale section I HOPE! I think I added the right address in that link LOL

In maylees garden I am also offering a sample set of soaps in retro 60's scents. You get about a 1 oz chunk of nag champa,patchouli,sandalwood, and amber. Just so you can Publish Posttry them all. Its 4 bucks for a set plus shipping. I plan on making more sets like this as soon as I can get time, and I also need to make a listing for samples of ALL the scents for people who want to try a bunch for cheap. I just got to get the time!! AHHH!! Things are so crazy in my life right now. I am meeting myself coming and going. I vent more on my myspace blog, cause I have to vent. Life gets hard sometimes and I just HAVE to type when I am stressed LOL

Made new soap for Maylee's Garden shop



I made a HUGE batch of nag champa. I made another HUGE batch of "Vanilla Patchouli" I put real vanilla bean specks in the vanilla part and the patchouli is plain...I layered them in the mold and they should look really cool once the vanilla part gets more brown.


I also made a "Sandalwood Lavender" Very very nice! I got a bunch of it too.



Thats all I got. No little batches, just three pretty big ones. I got enough Nag Champa to last a while!

I am also trying out new packaging too!

See what you think:




 

I should have this ready to go in
Maylees Shop by tonight!

I will let you all know when its ready!
