Its a COLD & WINDY...

Monday morning so i think it will be another day of working on soap for me!
My Friend Dawn who opened a great lil coffee shop here in town..
 https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cofe/534480183258009
called and wanted me to make some Coffee soap and it just so happened i had just gotten some
coffee scent in the mail.. so i stopped by her shoppe for some coffee beans and a pumpkin spice latte!


 so this is what i came up with for my "fresh brewed coffee" soap.
i do notice a chocolate under scent to this so i did order a couple others to try too.


so i just kept on going.....


time to cut and start drying...

im afraid im going to have to bring up my big drying rack if i keep going....
each of these shelves hold 27 bars and then i have been using my plastic coke
totes i got this summer....

hope you stay warm on this cold day and enjoy your day me blog friends!!         jody

Im all ready....

for the snow to fly... actually yesterday we did see a bit of the white stuff. the only thing i didnt get done was painting my fence. but if the temps happen to get above 40 i still may get it done. so now its to get to the list of inside things.. soap making, ebay, checking in with all my blog friends....
Cindy and I are planning a thrift shop day next week, we are having garage sale withdrawals so hopefully we can find some thrift shop treasures..
i took emma to the vet on monday and her blood sugar had dropped to 102! from 500 something!! so we kept the insulin the same and will check her on monday again. im a little nervous hoping it doesnt drop more.. but am so thankful that it isnt in the 500-600s anymore.

lets go home now!
since its just me here at home i found i was waisting coffee in the morning so
bought my self a 1 cup coffee maker and am having fun with it!
Sister Jana and I needed to order new glasses so we dragged mom with to help us on the decision making! then it was time for lunch after all that stress! we should have had margaritas too!!

i took a few pictures at Timeless Treasures for facebook..
thought i would show you too! we will be closing soon for the winter...




this lil guy stopped by to visit and show me his new basket he came up with for his bike! too cute.. he also had me help him duck-tape a squeaker from a dog toy on the handle bars for a horn.. his birthday is on Monday maybe grandma should look into these things for him altho i think this is very inventive of him!

enjoy your day my blog friends and thanx for stopping by!              jody
