Crazy Weekend...

Well, it was a boo boo weekend for me. I tried 3 times to make the same simple recipe I have made in the past for my soapy cup cakes and all three failed. Either the base didnt turn out right or the frosting totally flattened!! I was so frustrated.....but, I will be the little engine that could and will try again later this week!!! I really think it had something to do with the Humidity as we got up in the 50's here this weekend! It started melting all the snow finally. We shall see and will keep you all posted at my success!!

On a brighter note I did manage to make a brand new soap loaf scented in Gardenia... the colors morphed on me but I kind of like how it turned out. I will be posting photos later this week as well.


I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and now on to the "normal"  work week......

Have coffee in hand!!!

Busy Bee.....


My day job has been quite challenging with the recent storm so if I cannot post for a few days, please please forgive me!!

My latest conquest has been making lip balms....so many flavors to choose from...my favorite of course I cannot locate yet but searching I am.....I will find you raspberry!!!! I will say making the "Rolo" inspired balms are so far the absolute creamiest ( I mean who doesn't love caramel and chocolate?!?!?) I will be posting pics very soon so keep watching!!

Many Blessings!!!

Until next time.....

Stormy Fun.......


So what do you do during a major snow storm????

Well, I made soapy mini cakes and samples....this little project was lots of fun. These are scented with "Love Spell" and they are like little slices of Heaven!!

Hope everyone stayed warm and safe from the Storm.

Have a wonderful Sunday All.
