My busy but wonderful life

I have not had time to blog in a while so I thought I would do a quick update. Last week I was sick with a flu like bug and this week the baby and I both got a stomach virus and shared it with Daddy. Wasn't that sweet of us. lol

Business related topics:
I have some wonderful cold processed lavender un-dyed soap curing. I can not wait for it to be ready. I hope to make some more this weekend. I am going to start selling bar soap in my shop in March. I am thinking about a soap giveaway...hum, what do you think?

In the next week I am going to be listing my new shower gel and bubble bath as well. They will be available in all our fragrances, 60 plus scents!

My husband Dave and I have been running our shop Pamper Me Please and I help my Mom, Patsy with the computer and picture related parts of her shop. We have been talking about going to one shop for and have finally decided to start a shop with all 3 of us selling products. Our new shop is going to be www.thecreators.etsy.com. We are all very excited about it and working hard to be ready for our Grand Opening on April 1st. Yes, April Fool's Day. lol

Orders have been pretty steady this week and I am very happy about that. I made 72 bath bombs today along with getting other orders ready. :) Keep it coming!

Hope everyone has a great Friday tomorrow! Nana is coming to visit us for the weekend and will be here tomorrow. The kids are so excited!

Giveaway #3


Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I am Thankful for....

I think we get too wrapped up in presents, shopping and food this time of the year. Now don't get me wrong I enjoy all three as much as the next person but I want to take some time to remember the true reasons for the holiday season. Thanksgiving is in less than a week. Here is a few of the things I am thankful for in no particular order:

• God's love
• Dave and our 2 beautiful babies
• Being able to go back to college
• Our beautiful home
• Having another holiday season with my Grandma (she has had ALS for several years)
• Dave finally coming back home from his business trip
• Mom for being so supportive
• Lillie finishing her chemo and radiation treatments
• Friends that you know will be there for you no matter what
• Of course, all of my wonderful customers

What are you thankful for this year?

Winner of Giveaway #2

And the winner is.....jodaycraf!!

Congratulations!! You have won a fabulous prize complements of Crafts By Carer! Thanks Carrie!

I do apologize for the delay in announcing the winner of the giveaway! My baby is sick with pneumonia and an ear infection, my husband is away on a two month business trip and school is very busy right now. I really appreciate every one's understanding.



Thanksgiving is coming up soon. We go to visit my family and have lunch at my cousin's house. The whole family gets together. It is loud and crazy but I would not miss it for the world. We live 4 1/2 hours away from my family so we do not get to see them very often. I can't wait to see everyone.



What do you have planned for Thanksgiving?

Mommy & Son Time .... And A Tutu?

This afternoon while my daughter took her nap I got to spend some time with my son. It is always nice to have time to just have fun and watch a child explore the world. Or in this case the front yard but he did not know the difference. He will have his 1st Birthday on friday so he is still very easily entertained. Our time was cut short outside by rain. So, We came in to play and I had a chance to make my daughter's tutu for Halloween. She is going to be a Pumpkin Patch Fairy. I almost have her entire costume ready. There is a tutu, pom pom wand, fluffy hair bow, and fairy wings all in the works but almost finished. I really hope she likes it, sometimes she is so picky. Ahhh, 2 is such a wonderful age! I posted a picture of the tutu and the top of the wand. I hope to get some pictures of my daughter when I am finished. Little birthday boy is going to be Tigger. This will be his first year to dress up since he was only a week old last Halloween. I am really excited!! We are going to the Fall Festival in "The Gardens" on the U of A campus in Fayetteville this Sunday the 26th. If anyone wants to come out it is from 4-6:30pm, open to the public, and free.






What are you, your kid(s) or pet(s) going to be for Halloween?
