My life is jam-packed with activities:work, school, the boys, my husband, volunteering in kid's ministry, and fellowship. My calendar can't possibly fit another thing - but I consider it all good! When I finally take a moment to "recharge" myself mentally, I make soap and other bath accessories. Although,it's my goal to run a home based business selling handmade soap and other things like, herb-infused relaxation pillows and bath mits, the actual making of them is how I relax. I just love making things that pamper ladies! I love blessing them something I made with my hands that will transfer comfort to them. The best part about it is making them WITH the ladies. Just two weeks ago, a few ladies:Bobbi,Pam,Bridgette&Kristi and I hosted a "Spa/Craft Night" for 55 ladies from our church and their friends. They learned to make a variety of sugar-scrubs, salt-scrubs, and bath soaks and other things, as well as my favorite-Herbal Scented Goat's milk soap! Since then we've even gotten together to make a funraiser to offer the men of the church to secretly purchase for the ladies a variety of these items. Fun!Fun!Fun! My friend, Bobbi headed up the teaching of scrubs,massage oils,salve, and lipbalm and I am the soapmaker (although she's an expert at that too!). I can't wait to hear if they actually got to fill up the tub, relax and enjoy some of the things we made for them.I can't wait to open the one my husband "secretly" ordered for me (from me-I made it for the fundraiser!) On Feb 28th I will draw a name from my blog and send you this handmade lavender soap and handmade bathmit. I will even emboss your name or initials on the soap! I just want to share this to thank you all for helping me get my blog off the ground. All you have to do is be a follower, comment on this post, and get your tub ready!
Everything sounds wonderful! I bought some homemade soaps at a local festival here in the fall. I used them up much too quickly!
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting! I will put you in the drawing.Looks like the odds will be good!
ReplyDeleteHi little sis, I love the way you packaged your soaps. They look so inviting! Put me down for an order! Or, you can enter me in your drawing. I wish I could knock on your door, come in and have a cup of tea with you and catch up on things. Too many miles between us.
ReplyDeleteLove ya!

Unfortunately I developed an aversion to goat milk as a young child. Not sure if you knew this, but I raised dairy goats as a 4-H project. Because we had an excess of goat milk, my mom decided to sneakily mix the goat milk with the cow milk, thinking my brother and I would happily indulge. Well, I picked up on it right away, because, to me, goat milk tasted just like the buck (unaltered male goat) smelled...whew - what a fragrance! To this day I can detect any goat milk by-product a mile away, whether it be goat cheese, goat milk or kefir!
ReplyDeleteMaybe goat milk soap won't be bad since I wouldn't be eating it???
Hi Robin! Too funny about the goat's milk! I will still put you in the drawing and if you win, I will make a "goatmilk-free" bar! Thanks for reading my blog! Leah
ReplyDeleteI wanna be in the drawing! Pick me, Pick me! I haven't had a bath in soooo long. Sounds bad, huh? (I do shower whenever possible). How beautiful your soaps are and I love the scrubby glove. -Angie
