Where has the time gone??

Is it just me or has the time flown by since the start of the year?? I actually hadn't felt much like writing since my Nana Ruth passed away last month. But time does march on and while I miss her like crazy, I've got things to do! Soap waits for no one! Heh, we just finished our monthly craft show, boy what a mess! It POURED just after we'd set up and we didn't have enough time to put our tarps out! Ten minutes later and a bunch of wet labels (not soaps) the crowd came out, fortunately all were understanding about our drippy labels. So ya'll know what I'm going to be doing this week!

Last week I just finished another soap order for Simple Living in St Pete, as you can see from the pic's that's a whole lot of soap....and that's not even all of it! I had more curing on the racks in my soap room.
I'm trying like heck to finish building my wholesale soap pages....yup you heard it, I'm going to be branching out into wholesale too! So excited about all of our recent changes!!

The kids go back to school this Tuesday, with the super summer we had I'm going to miss them so much! However I'm not crazy about waking up with my oldest at 5:15 to get him going for the bus......gah

The Fun is Over!

LOL, well I'm back into the swing of soap making after taking close to a week off from getting back from vacation! It was weird really, my schedule was so off from having too much fun I suppose that I pretty much sat around like a slug last week! Today I'm raring to go, I've got a few soap calls to make, orders to fill and a craft show to get ready for next week....YIKES, next week?!! Have I said how much I love my job?? I DO!! I've got all my soap equipment ready, my fragrance oils and essential oils all set out and I'm done talking!

I have an excuse!

Oh I know, you'll look at this picture and think what has that got to do with soap? Everything!!
You see I was actually TRYING to gather all my soap making supplies for an early morning soap session before I had to run some errands. Then there was a knock, well more like a banging at the garage door. When I peek through the curtain wondering if the hound of hell are actually trying to get in. What do I see? This, in Sybrina's arms! What the heck?? Syb had just gone out rollerblading when she found Daisy Duke here asleep in the middle of the street, asleep?? Wha? Syb transferred her to me, so I could make sure the poor gal hadn't been hit by a car, because who ever heard of a dog sleeping in the street. Well not me. I sent Syb to look down the streets see if we could find someone looking for this beauty and off she went, meanwhile Vic and I got the job of babysitting, YES it was a real chore, see. An extra collar to find, leash to procure, water bowl to fill....whew
About the time I decided to get some shoes on and put Vic and Daisy Duke in the car to go find Syb and take them all down to the Humane Society, Syb shows up with the owner! I'd love to tell you what Daisy Dukes name was but it's barely pronounceable let alone me attempting to type it. However Syb found Daisy Dukes mom and brought her to us. I'm happy to report that mom and Daisy were happily reunited, we learned from her mom that Daisy had squeezed out under the fence the day before we found her, which might explain why the poor girl was sleeping in the street, she was pooped!
There you have it, my excuse for knocking a few hours off my soap making schedule....do you think it was a good one?
