So I want to shout out a  HUGE thank you to all my friends , through Church and old work associates as well as certain neighbors . And of course my family.. I have the best people in my life !
 They are always offering support and cheers and at times a shoulder to laugh or cry on.
You all know how important you are and I love you all for everything..
And my amazing husband.. WOW,,. can't even start with him  .. I am SO blessed  xoxoxo

So ,  this is just a SIMPLE THANK YOU !!


 

I made a batch of pumpkin soap today.. real pumpkin, organic spices and goats milk as well as honey.. I love to bake.. as a matter of fact Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and the main reason is the smells cooking and family eating. However ,, I do not like to eat pies,  except pecan pie. but my point is that this soap smells just like my kitchen and it looks just like the pumpkin pies that I bake. I remember last year I sold a few hundred pumpkin bars. I promised I would get more ready and to you who have been asking and calling.. they are going to be ready for you all :-)
It truly is the simple things xoxoxo

It seems that when the "ER" months are here,, September , October , November, and December
People get both anxious and more friendly.. if that makes any sense :-)
Anxious for the fact that the Christmas season is just around the corner and also excited that maybe family you have not seen for a few months will be at the Thanksgiving table to share old and new stories. Meet new additions to family and talk about the ones no longer there. Such a wild flow of emotions from all sides. 
At our booth on the weekend, the "season" was brought up a couple times, one was a young lady that will not have her father with her for the first time this year , and the other was an older gentlemen that was going to be able to see his son after  2 tours in Iraq. Tears for both , and both so different. 
 
I have been making making gift shrink wrap boxes and other items as special requests as well as for our  booth and I can't help but think of some of my family that no longer is with us. Makes you REALLY appreciate all that "family" means and all that it is about, good, bad and indifferent. 
I hope and pray at the beginning of this "season",, and all through the "ER" months, that they are just as SIMPLE as they can be..
