Welcome 2015. Lets all have a safe and happy new year. 

 I have a lot of new items and products that I am planning to bring to the market. From Laundry detergent, salt baths, facial scrubs and more.

It has been such a fun year full of events .. good and challenging. 
I am sure each and everyone has their own stories , so lets learn and grow from them and all have a successful and happy 2015.

Thanks to all our soap buddies who are so supportive and seem to be our biggest cheerleaders!
It is truly my pleasure to see you each week and get to know you and your families.
See you at the Market !!!

OH,, and then I had a couple batches of soap and a small batch of lotion. It was very productive and exhausting. The hussle and bussel of the Christmas season

This last week was a very busy time at our SIMPLE, second home. The popular bars for the last 2 weeks have been the Lemongrass / Lavender with bee pollen. The lotion and the liquid soap are also gone. The second bar that I keep selling out of is the Goat Milk  , Oatmeal and honey. ( this is one of my favorite bars as well ) 

It is SO fun to see our repeat "soap buddies" and to get to know their families and help with their skin conditions as well as share fun stories with each other. 

I am so excited for this time of year. We have a miniature Christmas tree at the market and I made small ornaments out of soap. It was VIc's idea and it looks so darn cute. The "Mr. Christmas' is plugged in and the dancing lights are wonderfully singing along with each song. You can't help but get excited when people see all the boxes / baskets and the stackables.. I LOVE to wrap presents. I love to have huge bows and ribbons flowing down , each gift has smaller gifts attached to the middle bow. It just thrills me to hear how " my mom will love this box"" or " my teacher will surely give me an A now " ahhaha would be nice if it were that easy :-)

Well, off to make more stocking stuffers and soap gifts.. 
thanks for all the support and fun conversations !!
See you at the market xoxoxo

I just can't believe the year is almost over. 
Thanksgiving was a blast , family, friends and great food.. I had my nephew and his beautiful family as well as my  Mom here from Utah for almost 2 weeks,, my mom and I  had so much fun putting together soap gifts and making bows.. we got entirely too LITTLE sleep. But had so much fun together. 
My mother in law was also here at the same "work table" ,, funny how women love to chat and craft. It is a easy way to talk and get caught up. Such a blessing to have wonderful examples in my life

My grandchildren are getting so big and are such a gift. How blessed we are.. I am thankful for so much. 
Lets all have a wonderful safe start of the holiday season :-)
Tootles !

    It was suggested by one of my daughters to keep some sort of a blog. I had to look up BLOG to see what it meant. I am so stuck in the 80's. 
    Seriously as Milli Vanilli is  playing on the Stereo.
