Goats milk is good for you!

Ok, I cannot say enough about this soap! I for the longest time have been buying soap with mosturizers, soap for sensitive skin, plain soap, every kind of soap that promised relief from eczema, winter skin itch, dry skin with no relief. I was still slapping on all different kinds of lotions that promised all day moisture (ha!), relief from eczema and itchy skin...still, no relief. I heard the best things about goats milk soap. So, I ordered a Simply goats milk soap for relief of my eczema and dry, itchy winter skin. This stuff ROCKS!!! The first time I used it I got out of the shower feeling clean, soft, and not itchy! I have not put lotion on since I started using this soap. The eczema on my hands is cleared up, my skin is all over soft! I ordered mine from Smokey mountain scents...she has all kinds, scented and unscented. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5376388 Check out her shop!

Painting my tail off!

My 1st craft show is this weekend and I have been painting more in the last week than I have in the last year! These are just a few of what I have done so far. The ones that are listed in my shop as of now. I still have more to do!

Clippie addiction

2009-01-12T19:00:00.002-05:00

Yeah, I have a clippie addiction. I will have to admit that my daughter might have way to many clippies. But, after 2 boys I finally had a little girl and let me tell you, it is awesome! I am crafty but making my own hair clippies? Nah! So that is why I choose to buy them from Turtle Girl Crafts. I have been more than pleased with all of my handmade clippies that I have ordered here. They are non slip too! After my son was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome I figured my little girl should show her Autism support. So, here are her awesome custom made clippies from Turtle girl Crafts!

Feeling crafty!

Some custom paintings I did. I was pretty impressed with the way they came out. I am working on a really neat set for a friend of mine who just had a baby. So, as soon as they are done I will have those to post. Which the ones I am working on now I am extremely pleased with. So, stay tuned for pics!

Feeling crafty!

I ordered scrabble tiles off eBay and am patiently waiting for them so I can start my new craft...scrabble tile pendants. I have everything else I need. My mailman actually just came, I saw him out the window but I don't want to look like I am expecting something. Even though I am. So this weekend I am crafting. I have to paint my canvases for my Cafemom etsy moms promo thing and I am going to make pendants for Christmas gifts. Not much else going on around here. I really don't know why I even blogged today!

I thought it would never happen!

2008-10-07T10:22:00.000-04:00

A blog? Me? Not like I don't have enough to do. Mom, wife, maid, cook, taxi driver, teacher, painter, crafter, administrator of 3 groups on Cafemom, Etsy seller, you name it, I do it. I probably forgot a lot of other things too. Where do I find the time? Do I really have any? When do I sleep? Well, I really don't get much. I guess I figured, everyone else is doing it so why can't I? I have these few minutes here and there like now when the boys are watching a movie and the baby is right here in the bonus room with me pulling everything out of the toy box that I just cleaned up. Oh, motherhood...it's a wonderful thing! Here lately I have been painting, a lot. I am crowding my closets with art and I should probably stop until I sell some of these. I did however take some of my paintings to a little boutique call "Laughing Lady" here in Simpsonville, SC which the owner so nicely displayed on her shop wall along with a huge stack of my business cards. And so it begins...Create Me A Canvas is taking off after a very slow 1st year.
