June Update

OK, so I seriously needed to update this blog! Blogging is hard for me because it just seems like mindless rambling and I often wonder if anyone even reads this...however, I will try to continue. I have been so busy these past few months. I've been working on lots of gift baskets and gift bags and formulating recipes. Welcomed my new little niece into the world in March! That was the highlight of my spring, she's so beautiful! I will post her hospital picture since that's on a public hospital website that should be fine. I've been busy with that among other things that I will refrain from mentioning! I have been working some.... I will share my birth announcment hand sanitizers a little later. But if you would like to take a look they are on my facebook page here:

I made a moisturizing Almond Cherry soap that will be ready this week. And I made up some more lip balms! Lip balms are in 9 great flavors (listed below)! You can also order them unflavored. They are made with shea butter, cocoa butter, mango butter, coconut oil, beeswax, grapeseed, oil, jojoba oil, and vitamin E. All things great for the lips :-)

• Strawberry
• Almond Biscotti
• Creme de Menthe
• Coconut Milk & Peaches
• Cherry Berry
• Orange Sorbet
• Lemon Cheesecake
• Brown Sugar
• Mango Peach

I have also now added a vegan lip balm for my customers who don't want the beeswax in their lip balm. My vegan lip balm also has sunscreen spf 15. Vegan lip balms are currently unflavored but if you would like one with some flavor just ask and I'll make it happen! Any of the flavors listed above would work fine.
Lip balms are $3.00 each and can be shipped for free with the purchase of a bar of soap! 

Created a New Banner

I just played around some more and created a new banner for my etsy shop and blog. What do you guys think?

IT SNOWED

Well.....IT SNOWED!! I just had to post the pictures since I didn't believe that we were really going to get anything. I love looking at freshly fallen snow b/c it looks like a clean blanket on everything. Here in Winnsboro I believe we got about 5 inches of snow they may have gotten more in Columbia I'm not sure. These are just a couple of pictures my sister sent me...my camera is broken so I couldn't take any pictures of my yard. My husband took a few with his camera phone so I'll see if I can figure out how to put those on here.

Lovely!

Snow in South Carolina?? We'll see..

We may get snow in SC today!!! What is it about the south that makes even the threat of snow so exciting? I went to the grocery store to get some olive oil to make a batch of soap and it was total CRAZINESS! People are in there buying up all the bread and milk. I must admit I was guilty of picking up a loaf of bread LOL but I really needed it. ;-) Two or three inches of snow would do me just fine and then it'll be gone in a day or two.

According to the news reports it should have already started snowing by now (3:52 pm). But I have not seen the first snow flake. Everyone is so excited I hope we're not disappointed. We'll See...

In the meantime I will be working on labels for 2 different clients and making a few batches of soap.

Have a good safe weekend everyone!

Baby Shower Favors

I had a super busy weekend but I enjoyed it so much! I was able to help with my sister's baby shower and it turned out really nice. She got so many cute itty bitty clothes. And to end the weekend with a bang I went to a super bowl party ( GO SAINTS!!!) I loved being with family and friends the entire weekend. I laughed so hard until I cried!

I was able to do the favors for the shower and I think they turned out rather nicely. We had 50 hand sanitizers and 50 candles (recycled baby food jars) and they ALL went. I hope everyone enjoys them. ;-) The pink candles were scented in Geranium Lily and the lavender was scented in Lilac. Enjoy the pictures!

Gift Boxes with curly ribbon I had 100 of these to do (whew)

1 oz. Hand Sanitizers with a personal message

Sanitizers before the labels were put on

100% Soy Candles in 4 oz. Baby Food Jars - Each Jar Recycled from my little nephew ;-)

Too cute!
