...and don't forget behind your ears.

Since I haven't been making anything due to the economy, the election, my laundry (any ol' excuse will do). Well I guess making an excuse is actually creating something. Anyway as I was saying before I distracted myself. I received these lovely soaps from a dear family friend. Just imagine, he is the really nice uncle type. The kind who would give you gum or quarters just because, except he gives us this most delicious smelling all natural soap ever. The truth is all who are lucky to know this wonderful guy act like little children when he is around too. Comments such as "for me, oh you shouldn't have" , followed by giggles and snorts as we press our snouts up to the soaps to see who gets what scent are very common when he presents us with the latest scents.

At this point you are saying well sure anyone can make a nice glycerin soap these days. Well the lovely lady of Flower Moon Soaps happens to make not only the nicest smelling soap but it seems to have magical powers too! Friends to whom I have gifted this too have claimed glowing skin and less acne and they seem to become depressed when its all gone. Which can be only elimenated by visiting the lovely soap lady at the farmers market in Chestertown, Maryland or going to her website http://www.flowermoonsoaps.com/ not, I REPEAT, not taking it from my soap dish because that is, well it's just gross.

Did I mention he brings us farm fresh eggs too?

I should learn how to use Photoshop. Really. Really. It's on my list. Any suggestions?

Food for Thought

You tell on yourself by the friends you seek,
By the very manner in which you speak,
By the way you employ your leisure time,
By the use you make of dollar and dime.

You tell on yourself by the things you wear,
By the spirit in which your burdens you bear,
By the type of things at which you laugh,
By the records you play on your phonograph.

You tell what you are by the way you walk,
By the things of which you delight to talk,
By the manner in which you can bear defeat,
By so simple a thing as how you eat.

By the books you choose from the library shelf,
By these things and more, you tell on yourself.
