    Watercolor cartoon

    November 20, 2011 - By 

    A friend of ours turns 50 today…his party was actually yesterday. We had planned on attending but several circumstances made it impossible.
    The birthday boy is an avid hunter. My hubby came up with the idea and caption then I went for it with
    the drawing and paint.
    Considering my drawing skill or lack there of…
    I think it turned out pretty well.
    It’s supposed to be kind of cartoon-y in case you were wondering.  🙂
    The caption inside the card reads:
    “When you’re over the hill, catching Z’s is easier
    than climbing trees”
    I’ll be mailing this card on Monday.

    This isn’t the final placement for my freshly crafted snowflake ornaments…
    Our Christmas tree will go up the day after Thanksgiving. It’s one of our family traditions.

    Soap results

    November 17, 2011 - By 
    Patty was kind enough to take photos of the freshly unmolded soap we made.
    Here’s much anticipated blue marbled soap brick.
    Isn’t it pretty!?!?
    Next out of the mold was the Oatmeal Shea…
    I thought this was a cool photo showing how they slipped it out from the mold.
    And now being cut into bars….
    Nice of her hubby to lend a hand with the cutting. I’m sure it’s not that easy to slice through.
    Fun stuff!
    Definitely want to try it again soon.
