The clean up

Thanks goes to all my friends who came out to see me yesterday at the Mamas and Chicks Show. We had a good steady turn out...thanks to all the vendors too... Tara,a blogging
friend from On A Branch Soaps sold her soaps at the Show yesterday, it was great to see new faces and reconnect with vendors who have been great supporters over the years....
Now...I will be cleaning up and organizing the house...as these past couple of weeks have neglected so many household chores...
And, I can visit your Worlds again...

I hope you have a wonderful weekend...

scrumptious soaps...

 Good Friday everyone...can you believe we're almost into August? I am having a difficult time realizing that I just taught 4 weeks of ART Camp...and survived it ...lol...

Everyone keeps asking...will you do it again next year? YES...definitely...the progress of the kids from the start of the week to the end is remarkable!

I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching them new techniques and trying to train their eyes to see a little differently...whether they apply their skills to everyday life...or in their Art Classes at school...that's a different matter and entirely up to them...BUT...I have enjoyed it, and I know they have too.

So...the 4th week is on it's last day...and I will be back for 3 more weeks after a 2 week vacation from Camp. I'm certain our girls will enjoy the break...although they'll miss the company of others everyday.

Can you smell what's in the package? It arrived 2 days ago...and smells SO good...come and see...

 Mmmm, delicious handmade soaps by Tara Patey who owns the new line "On a Branch Soaps"...they are raw,scrumptious,packaged so beautifully and yes...that was the custom stamp I made for her back in MARCH...you can see the beginning of the process HERE...and HERE.

 The sizes of the soaps are wonderful and feel so natural....I love how the ingredients are printed on the back of each label!

 I can't wait to try the Lavender Oatmeal Soap...doesn't it sound perfect! I'm going to think about Christmas gifts and birthdays for the rest of the year too...

Thank YOU Tara...I have enjoyed seeing your journey into creating your amazing Soap Kitchen "On a Branch Soaps" and I am hoping you'll be able to see your delights at our Fall Mamas and Chicks Show!

PLEASE go and say hello to Tara! (HERE)

We're off to visit friends in Muskoka this weekend...

what are you up to?

HUGS and have a great weekend!
