Just saying hi

I know these days  are  just crazy busy with  everyone  so it seems......But I do so love to  come in here  to blog land with a hot java  and  read up on my  friends and see what everyone is up to....

I love browsing the  photos of your  lives and  things you have going  on as well... such a relaxing time for me.....Then  SNAP reality  is back  *laughs*

I can not believe  we are in the  middle of  February already./  Hardly any snow this winter to speak of and had  some farmers concerned  about the  moisture content.....I really  hope this is  not  another  1988 the  year of the drought.

I have  no  completed  my studies  for national  testing  for massage.... more or less  a brush up of former studies  with a twist of  some  Eastern culture techniques as well added in there....

This past weekend  I went to the  Great Western Minnesota get together....( used to be called farm and  home show)  Vendors   of  businesses   set up  as well as  local crafters and sell their  goods...Ohhh fun   just browsing...I bought  a local mans  home made jellies.....Jalapeno and raspberry.......It is sooooo  good!! I bought some last  year and  loved it  so  bought more this  year...  Then I stumbled  upon some ladies  selling some  essential  oils... Which  for me  was a blessing as  in the  last   three weeks I have  had  four  clients  asking about  oils...soooo I spent  a good  45 minutes at their booth......and yep  bought   an oil as well....DoTerra  Oils  I bought the   slim and sassy oil....add a few drops to your water  and drink it....Ohhhh not too bad,.....Hubby  commented to the ladies...well shes got the  sassy  part   down  (LMAO)  Can you  believe  that!  Hmpf!!

Any  how  not much   else  happening here.........Hope you all have  a blessed weekend  fast approaching~

Blessings~


Oh  and for those  who like to buy  fabric...I thought this  was  kind  of a neat  place.....

 Well now.....I have not started 2012 off well in blog  land  have I ?  I did not realize that  an entire month snuck by and I did not  even make a single  post or anything.......*Sighs* Well no excuses  except that  at times life gets in the way   and I got busy  and did not  even  *think*
 The kids  and  their boyfriends  were  home  for two weeks for their college  breaks and the majority of that time was spent in ice houses.......holding  fishing poles  and then coming home  to warm toes and clean fish of course....
 My oldest and I did   some baking to fulfill orders  she took at college...
 Ohhhhhh  these were addicting!!!Marshamallows dipped in home made caramels and then   rolled in rice krispies or some  we left plain....
 I am bummed the photo did not turn out as well as I hoped  but oldest  created  her first pie from scratch!!!   I was so proud of her.....
 Chocolate  cream cheese......no calories.... she made  seven of these and sold them...LOL
 Ohhhh the shop is moving up...look what  hubby  did for Christmas.....He  had a frame  made for the mail box to hold a sign.......  I  LOVE IT!!!
 Not the best photo  but  when  I  think about it I will go down  and take a photo as it turned out very well!!
 I have been busy  in the business.....and actually  between clients and soap notes and charts.....I do find  some time to create......Been busy  making scarves!!!
 A client of mine created these  rings   I display for her......They are  made out of  buttons....I thought they were  cute.....no two alike for sure!!
 I did order some product this  year to add tot he shop consisting of some aromatherapy  items....and bio-freeze!!  Can not seem to keep any of it  in stock.... But then I guess that  is good  right??
Now February is here.....I have  Valentines on the brain... and created  some pink and white  dish cloths  for my daughters.....and of course some chocolates to go with them.....

The shop is keeping quite  busy and I guess that  is what  I wanted.... and I am  able to  keep stuff made and sell that as well  with  the seasons... Soon summer will be here and  I will be in the gardens!!!!

Our weather  has been so odd....WARM.....no snow  here, tomorrow they say  will be cooler.... I sure hope this is not the sign of a Drought  headed our  way.......

Well until next time  I guess that  brings you up to date  in my  corner of the  world....  Blessings to all~
