Balance to Mind, Body, & Soul

Bring balance to ones life through the use of gems and crystals has been both legend and history. People from all cultures and continents have practiced harnessing the balancing of the spiritual and healing powers of gems and crystals; dating back as far as the legendary lost city of Atlantis, through the ancient Mayan and Indian civilizations, and reaching into Far Eastern and Native American. For centuries these cultures have used gems and crystals for religious, physical, and spiritual healing purposes. Today, meditation and fitness mixed with the use of the energy points is said to promote health, happiness, and well being within a person’s life. Is it legend or truth…..try it and you decide.

Etsy BNR Featured Artist

On Etsy, we have promotionals/sales/offers with lots of shops called a BNR, which means Buy-N-Replace. Once a shop buys something from someone on the list, they are replaced! Here is one of the artist from the BNR that I am participating with.
FlyingVDesigns
I’ve met some really talented people on Etsy and FlyingVDesigns is one of these them. From a working cattle ranch in New Mexico comes FlyingVDesigns or April, a stay at home mom with 2 children and a wonderful husband. Her hobby started with pencil drawing and oil painting at age 10, and at age 12 she sold her first painting! Now she loves to try anything and is always adding new things to her resume of crafting talent.
Inspiration comes from her favorite word Fabulous, because she believes everything is wonderful and really enjoys making things. She enjoys working with all materials and fabrics, currently working with muslin to add a primitive line to her Etsy shop.
How do the five senses help her? They come in handy for her candles and tarts and soon when she adds a Bath and Body line, maybe she’ll add Chocolate flavored as that is her pet addiction!
When asked what her most ambitious project right now is….her Bath and Body line and in the future she want to take on the challenge of making saddles! Now that’s pretty ambitious!

Where to find her…..
