Sweet Stuff mid spring
May 18, 2009
We're celebrating a sweet someone's birthday this Monday, a few days early because of a camping trip that coincides with the real "birth" day. Hope this finds you enjoying the sweetness of May.

I love making soap
May 16, 2009
This morning I finished my second batch of soap this week, a first for me. Up to this point I've only made one batch every 3-4 months and that is sufficient for our own supply and some to give away or sell cheap to my mom. But this summer I'm ...
