Handcrafted Christmas Gifts!

Christmas is fast upon us, so I thought I'd share another idea for a handcrafted Christmas gift or stocking stuffer.

Lemon Verbena is a perpetual favorite among handcrafted soap connoisseurs. This soap has a hint of lemon fragrance, not overpowering, that you will enjoy in the shower or bath. Made with all-natural base oils and quality fragrance oil.

Unlike many soaps, all my handcrafted soaps are free of any harsh chemicals, so they are soothing and moisturizing. Gentle enough even for Baby's skin! Lemon Verbena, as well as all the soaps in my collection, makes a great choice for a gift everyone will love!

These are just some of the many handcrafted soaps in my store!  Each luscious bar has its own pretty label and is wrapped in a cello bag, ready for gift-giving. Who on your Christmas list wouldn't love a bar of handcrafted soap!

P.S. Be kind to your holiday budget and check out this amazing offer for my soap assortment:  Six for the Price of Five.  If you hurry, there's still time to order for Christmas. I ship USPS Priority, so your package should arrive in 2-4 days.

Coping with the 'Near Blizzard'

So I guess it's not a blizzard, cuz technically a blizzard has to have sustained winds over 30 MPH. We only have winds at 25 MPH. But right now it's pretty wild out there! It's snowed all day and this afternoon the wind really picked up.

outside our back door

I am so thankful for our wood-burning stove, a huge stack of wood, for a one-ton truck with a snowplow on the front, and a husband who is willing to push snow around. 

I have a feeling that tomorrow's church services will be canceled. The forecast? 5 degrees F. with a 25 MPH wind. Monday morning we're expecting -20 degrees F.(that's minus 20) and for Tuesday, -22 to -25 degrees F.

We're being advised to stay off the roads. I think we'll have church at home tomorrow and maybe watch 'North and South'  with Richard Armitage and Daniela Danby-Ashe in the afternoon. I suppose I'll never persuade Kevin to watch it with me, cuz he thinks it's a chick flick. Is it?? I really didn't think so. 

But until they come out with 'Drudge, the Movie'...
