I know that you are getting pretty sick and tired of me talking about my soap – but I just want to say one more thing and then I won’t talk about it for awhile. I took the peppermint, lime, orange ‘Sunshine’ soap out of the mold tonight and holy cow does it smell. I know that peppermint is supposed to keep away spiders and bugs – so I’m thinking it’s going down in the cellar to mellow out just a little bit. Whew! So if you live in my neighborhood and notice a couple more spiders on your farm – we’ll I’m just saying , blame it on the soap! I’m also not sure that I like the ‘extra dried lemon peels’ in it. I think this will have to be something that I will have to see if I like it once I use the soap. But for now it might just seem a little excessive. I’m just saying..

The weather today was supposed to be really bad and for once I’m glad that the weatherman was wrong! We got a couple of inches of snow yesterday and today we were supposed to get 35 mph winds and a LOT of blowing snow. Well you can about imagine 35 mph winds and fluffy snow can’t you? It’s like your’e own personal snow globe or something. Well, it didn’t happen .. so yea!! I’m especially glad because William is getting things organized to head down to his apartment tomorrow for the next 8 months. I’m thinking after these last two weeks and now all the kids gone, well it’ll be pretty quiet in the house again. I know that I like the commotion much better! But I do have to say that I need to spend some time to organize the Christmas stuff better and get rid of about half of what I’ve got. I confess that I don’t have it all packaged away and because I only put out about half, why in the world am I keeping it all? So my goal is to get rid of some of the stuff that I never use. Honestly, I couldn’t even find this one big tote of Christmas stuff, and the only thing that I missed out of it was our nativity scene people and animals. I tried to fake it and just set out the Nativity scene, but it kinda looks bad with only straw in it and nothing else. Well I talk pretty big, but I’ll see how good I do once I try to downsize.
your soap making projects are interesting – neat to see how they come out when they are all done. and, hey, your basement will smell good for a while! haha.
Thanks Tammy! And guess what? Our basement is smelling pretty good with the soap down there – who would have guessed?
