 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~

  1. Ice Fishing for Christmas! Sounds very Minnesotan. ;)

    Is your daughter selling all her baked goods to other students? Smart girl!

    I love your new sign! Please take a picture of it outside! Whoohoo! I'm so glad your business is doing well, even if I missed you posting. Those button rings do look cute.

    I love those handmade dishcloths! They work so well. Do you sell them?

    Not been much snow here, either. Warm enough to melt and then back in the deep freeze--back and forth over and over. Crazy winter.

    Glad to see you!! :):)

  3. Wow your snacks look really good! Your daughter's pies look really good as well. Yumm. That was super nice of hubby to make that sign holder for you and the sign is really neat too. Love all your crafts, especially the scarf with all the colors. Very pretty. You sure have been busy.
