Summer medley time again

I always put off making this one because it takes some work but it sure does look cool in the mold!

Enchanted Apple soap next mini make over

Sorry for the lack of posts again I was pretty busy and to top it off I have been having troubles with my transfer software for my camera. I figured out a work around till I get it figured out. I also spent last weekend doing an update on my main website which ended up taking me way longer then I planed since I hadn't done an update since April!!!! Still a few more things to get up there but it is much more current now at least.

Next up for my mini make overs is Enchanted Apple type. This one always ended up being too purple in the past I think. So did a small change up on the colors and I think it fits the apple more now. Enchanted Apple is a stunning blend of tart, crisp apples with the slightest touch of sweet vanilla. This is one of the scents on the lighter side for those who don't like super strong scents.

I have been busting out the fire starter orders the last few days. I guess that is the sign fall is around the corner right? I had to go up to the mountains yesterday to gather more materials for making them since I was getting low. I am lucky there are mountains about 20 miles away so I grabbed my niece and we loaded up on the pine cones and such. :)

something random

Thought I would share my newest addiction online Pinterest!

It is sorta like an inspiration board where you pin things you see online or on their website. I can sit for hours and watch the stuff people are pinning on the main page.

Check out my own set of boards(I am just getting started)

I have already found many things that inspired me and recipes I want to make.

Anyone on it? if so let me know so I can follow your boards

By the way the above picture(self portrait) is of me wearing the temporary lip tattoos I mentioned on my blog awhile back. They were a touch dry to wear but sure did look cool.

Chuck Wagon Lunch

Saw a cool cloud/rain on the way home

Last weekend I went with my aunt and my grandma to a chuck wagon lunch. My grandma goes this every year for about the last 15+ years. I have to be honest the food wasn't that great but the point was to spend time with my grandma so that makes it worth it!

Have to love small town community events right?

new Patchouli soap

Patchouli before

Patchouli after

So yep I am getting bored since all I do is restock current soaps. I don't get that much play time anymore as I keep up with the demand for the regular soaps.

So new plan is to do a few more make overs on current soaps. Some will be small changes some might be bigger changes.

First up was Patchouli. This one I didn't change too much just a slightly different base color and then I added a touch of the black.

No craft shows this weekend so I get a small break. Taking my Grandma to a Chuck Wagon dinner thing she goes to every year. Last year I had a craft show so I couldn't take her but I decided not to do that show so I get to go. I will try and take some pictures tomorrow.

New cupcake soap & craft show post

Back from my Fairplay craft show. Sales were up from last year. Been a strange year, my good shows from last year are all up and all the new shows I tried out I barely got booth fee back.

So what happens when the booth next to you is a craft show friend and you both have the same tent(they were the ones that told me about this tent in the first place)? We made a nice shade walk way for the customers!

New cupcake soap scented Chocolate Cream Cheese which has top note of coconut; followed by a warm middle note of buttercream; and well rounded with a base note of dark cocoa.
