I have had a HUGE amount of gift basket orders that I am filling. For

them I am making everything from bath salts to lip balm making kits,

from foot scrubs to salt/sugar body scrubs to soap and candles. I can't

even get the baskets listed on the site I've been so busy with them -

and still unpacking boxes to find all my supplies!!!!! I also made all

new labels for most of my products being the anal Virgo that I am ;-p

 

As far as baking goes I've been making 2 loaves of bread a week and

getting good at " semi-fancy breads " like Semolina Italian and Caraway

Dill Rye loaves. Starting next week I'll be doing those " holiday " style

loaves - like European Walnut Bread, etc ... As a warm up I got a batch

of chocolate chip cookies baked (and I got pics of my 4 yr old

assistant, who helped me from start to finish and licked the mixing

paddle clean for me even but starting this weekend I'll be getting

the more exotic holiday cookies baking. I'll gladly post recipes as I

go! I like to go happy in the cookie baking dept.

 

I found my glue gun last week - I am hoping to get busy with that soon

too - if the kids ever give me a moments peace (and I'd like to play

with my wood burner and my Dremel too!

 

AND - I am hoping to get the house decorated this weekend!

Oh come now...we Virgo's aren't really anal, are we? Just super super

perfectionists that no one can ever come close to comparing to?

LOL...Cindy, another truly anal virgo!

Well... to balance that out, at the shop this week, I sold two big Soy

Candles, granted they were in Christmas pots...

 

So. Chunks and Soy. Let's see how the Cathedrals do, they went in the shop

today. It's interesting watching what people like and wouldn't touch.

 

But I'm feeling better about me candles I must admit. ;-)

 

And I still say you're a psycho woman to keep up with all that stuff. I can't

manage the little I do! I've got fruit cake this weekend, an apple pie,

Woobeys (No candles, will pour on Monday), the gym and that's about it. Well...

I

do have to drive to San Francisco tomorrow afternoon for another " Dr. Phil "

sthick... Otherwise, it's lazy times for me... course, I do have to put some

dec's up for the hols... then I have a ton of laundry and some cleaning up to

do... maybe I 've a few things on me plate! ROFL!

 

Be good, at least with all that stuff you'll be working on I know you'll be

staying out of trouble! LOLOL

Chris you have more energy than anyone I know!

 

Let's see Candles of course, lotion bars, nasal inhalers, cold and flu

rubs and difussing oils, soap, foot butter, rose soap petals and just

to be different...I am compiling a family cookbook and a family

calendar.

 

Food...hmmm that for reminding me, I bet Doc is going to want to eat

some time this month hmmmmmmmmmm better think of something ;-)

 

Once again everyone is just starting to get up and I have still not

been to bed. Naptime!
