"Giggles" - - - My Newest Creation!





With this new format on Blogger, I dunno how to move text around!  Always something new to learn here in cyberworld!


Just couldn't help myself! I dreamed up this soap and could not wait to share it with you......here's the story.
My Dad (rest his soul) loved fine dining; and every time he would take us out on a family outing to a really really nice restaurant, and lecture us on our manners, and we had white linen table cloths and stare out the top floor of the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco.......


"They", the grown ups, would have their fancy schmancy dry martinis. But there we would be, all dressed up in our patent leather shoes and finest Sunday dresses, faces washed, hands in our laps, with our napkins, and asking to please pass the sour dough bread and butter.


So, my Dad would order each of us a Shirley Temple. It would make us feel special, grown up big girls, and I always remember putting my nose down as the effervescense would tickle my nose and make me giggle. The maraschino cherry was the final little delight that was a thrill every single time.


This whimsical soap will be perfect for gifting this holiday! Bring the nostalgia of Shirley Temple singing "On the Good Ship, Lollipop!" all wrapped in red curly bows and put a giggle on your teacher's, your mom's, even your grannie's face as they unwrap and smell the fragrance of a day gone by!


Sorry that the picture was not real good. I made the label myself and it looks really cool. This soap is 4.5 oz. and will be wrapped in a treat bag with lots of red curling ribbon to match the label and....the cherry!


All natural, pure glycerin honey soap. Will moisturize and smell delicious all at the same time!


I promise!


I listed these one night, and a customer bought three just hours later!  Grab 'em while they last here!

Strawberry Shortcake, Anyone?

The Joys of This Season
Strawberry Shortcake, Anyone?




I don't know about you, but every time the season changes, I think....."now, This is My FAVORITE season! God is so good to change the times and the seasons; it displays His infinite wisdom and grandeur and the fact that He delights in all the creativity we see and so much more.

But there is just something about summer. I get fresh and new, invigorating energy when the sun is shining in it's strength. God made all creatures to respond to the Light that He gave us! He gave all living things seed to reproduce, and that seed is in us. The light generates all things to flower and then fruit.

Here in Texas, we have had strawberries, and we have had peaches, and now we are enjoying the abundance of blueberries. This is a delightful time to go outside and enjoy all that God has created for us to enjoy. It brings Him pleasure, and it will delight you as well.

My favorite thing to do is to get up while the dew is still on the ground and sparkling like diamonds in the newly rising sun. Drink a Gigantic Cup of Hot Steaming Coffee, and listen to the myriad of birds that inhabit this glorious territory. Each morning they sing for joy to God their Creator. To hear them sends thrills of joy to the core of my being. The sense of peace that settles over my soul at this point rivals none.

Then in the evening, the same thing. To watch and savor, from my 12 x40 porch the splendours of God's creation and to enjoy from my vantage point, just sitting....a savoring....and listening...and contemplating.....

I am so happy to have my beautiful daughter Casey (who I affectionately dub "kitten") (me, being katw0man, you know) I am so happy to have her at home. She has been so helpful to me and I have enjoyed a slower pace.

We have been enjoying our little puppies and we take them swimming with us too and they like that!

This week I am very busy getting ready for a Big Party...and I have 6 days to get ready.

I just wanted to update all of you and remind you to savor this season in the Son and enjoy all the fruits of your labor and His in providing it for you to enjoy!

Grace and Peace to you!

Sea Slices......I'm Dreamin' of the Car-i-bbean!

Summer Blues.....underwater seascape. Sea Slices

I guess I am having a dose of Summer Fever these Days!

I am dreaming of the Caribbean! Or the west coast where my
beloved Pacific thundering ocean is

or the Gulf of Thailand

or the Maldive Islands
or even Hawaii

OK OK,
I would even settle for the
murky, ankle washer, hurricane prone
Gulf of Texas. Deep Deep Sigh...

so yesterday I went into the kitchen
and made these sea slices!





For a first time, this advanced project turned out pretty good,

not perfect, but pretty good

Aren't they cute! They have sand, little embedded sea creatures, and even a top dressing of sea foam! Fragranced in Coconut Lime Verbena, and the Sea Foam is Salty Mariner!

Price: $4.75 by the slice

Or, 3 for $10.00

Wouldn't they be cute wedding or party favors?
