More New Soaps

If anyone needed further proof that the man is a talented soapmaker here are a few more of his creations. By the way, he's an awesome cook as well!

This one hasn't been cut yet, but I liked it so much I just had to share it!

New Soaps On Their Way

We've been working away on some new soap designs (photos to come soon). I hope to have them listed tomorrow and I'll post some photos here as well.

Have you checked out Soapy Love? Debbie is the original Soapsicle designer and her soap designs are fantastic. We're major fans! She has a new magazine (ezine?)out now and it's chock full of great soapy ideas!

Speaking of which, I'm really thinking about starting a blog to showcase all the great bath and beauty products I've come across while researching soapmaking. I've been blown away by all the talent out there. Would anyone be interested in daily soap finds?

Good News - Bad News

The good news is that I still have the ability to do a split. The bad news is the event occurred on my ice covered driveway.

With flexibility not seen since the early eighties, I slooooowy slide down into an almost perfect split while attempting to get to the bottom of the driveway. This amazing feat was accomplished in front of the half the neighborhood waiting for the school bus. My grace is now legendary.

I have a lovely bruise on my chin as a result, and for the life of me I can't imagine how I bruised my chin.

Why was the driveway covered with ice? Well, let's just say the man organized the pantry beautifully that day. Needless to say, when he heard about my gymnastic ability the driveway was cleared in no time.

Start-Up Business Ideas

I'm an idea person. I'm not much of a follow through person, but I am an idea factory if I do say so myself. I have a loyal following of friends that routinely ask me for my "brilliant" idea of the day. These are all ideas for businesses by the way.

A friend of mine challenged me to come up with ideas for businesses a different friends could start. I came up with a list of questions and from their answers I gave them 3 to 5 ideas for businesses for them to start that are tailored to their likes and dislikes.

Just for fun I'd like to try it with people I don't know. Answer the questions below and I'll send you 3 to 5 ideas for start-up businesses.

Here goes...

1. Age range (18-25 26-32 33-40 41-51 52-62 63+)
2. Where you live (city and state)
3. What you do for employment now
4. Three things you like to do
5. The first toy you remember

No guarantees of course, but I just might come up with something you love!

Snow Day II


We had a real live snow day today...storm team coverage and all. We made this soap today in honor of the lovely white blanket outside. It smell like heaven...oatmeal, milk & honey is probably my all time favorite fragrance.
