We had a wonderful trip to Vegas, a few minor glitches with the car air conditioning which isn't cool in over 100 temps but the car ran great and that is all that really matters.

Vegas Trip

We will be leaving for Las Vegas on Sept 6 for a little R&R. I am hoping to gain some inspiration for new soaps and lotions, as well as ideas for the new catalog.
We have friends there that we have not seen in 18 years. I am so excited about it all!

Make sure you all tune in to the MDA Telethon over Labor day Weekend. Those of you in the Tucson Area will catch my Grandson Noah Spencer who is the Goodwill Ambassador for Southern Arizona. He is one of the reasons I started making handcrafted soaps and lotions.

Getting back in the swing

I have been kind of bummed the last few months, no desire to soap or make anything. Last week I got it all out and started making some soap and a new lotion. It felt good to do it again. I am looking forward to creating a new catalog this week.!!
