Christmas is just around the corner :0)








With Christmas just around the corner now I guess everyone is busy getting soap ready. This will be my busiest year to date with the addition of a fundraiser for a Mission here in Brisbane that I am hoping goes well as elderly folk will be the beneficiaries of all money raised. I have just had another round of photos taken in the hope of fulfilling one of my goals in the new year.......that being a website :0) Thought I would share some of the amazing photos my photographer took I was so delighted with how he captured my creations :0)

Been a While :0)

Feels like forever since I blogged. I have been playing with lots of new fragrances lately and find it so hard not to  sneak just  one more into the lineup of regular soaps :0) Can one really have too many options when it comes to fragrance ? I think there is always room for one more :0)
Here are some recent additions

My Favorite Market




Well not long home from my favourite Market Mamma's Market in the lovely costal town of Buderim on the Sunshine Coast (Aussieland :0) ). These photos were taken by the lovely Jordan of Still Memories and I am delighted with what he captured for me. I love my craft and think I will still be in my kitchen creating for many years to come.

Yay I won the free spot at Mammas Market

Last month Mammas Market that I attend held a stall competition for the best stall of the month........Well many thanks to all my soapy friends especially I won and received a free spot at the upcoming market this month saving me 85.00!!! Thanks so much to all those who took the time to send a vote my way. This month the resident photographer Jordan is going to take some photos of my stall so stay tuned I shall post when I recieve them :0). Lots of new fragrances have arrived at my doorstep and I now have three days off and intend to soap up a storm (not that we need any more stormy weather!!!!!)

Reflections

Well as the world is aware Queensland has experienced the most devastating flooding in its history. I am one of the fortunate ones who can say my family and home are okay. I did get flooded in at work for 2 days and that was a little scary. For those that don't know I work in aged care and was doing a nightduty shift aware that I may not be able to leave I packed a bag and so glad I did. Nightshift by torch is not easy :0). I want to say that the SES (Emergency Services Teams) were amazing and the whole time we were flooded in they kept a close eye on us and would row almost up to the building and chat and let us know how it was all looking out on the new lake we had aquired at the back of us. Bless the elderly who remained calm and assisted where ever and however they were able. I was in awe of the concern they expressed not for themselves and how they would cope should we have to evacuate them but for the families out there that had lost precious family members and homes.
What a great community we have.............people helping strangers and giving whatever they can to help those that have very little left.
I am delighted to know that toiletries are need.................Including soap!!!!!!  I am now a woman with a mission :0)
So many of my soapy friends noticed my lack of online time and asked after me.............Thank-you I was so touched by all your messages and emails I am fine, and dry. My heart aches for those that have suffered the losses.
Today I want to share a soap that I made in memory of my Father who was a big fan of Old Spice, this is Bay Rum but it does remind me somewhat of Old Spice.............For my Dad who left me with many pleasant memories.

Time to have a Play


The Christmas break has been lovely and I have had some time to just 'play' which has been lots of fun.......One thing I have wanted to try is making soap with balls in it after I was inspired by a video by the hugely talented Tiggy from Future Primative.
