"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

We had a very peaceful afternoon and evening. The kids are feeling kind of run down and are ready for Christmas vacation already. (Me too) Hubby is out of town all weekend once again, so it is a girls weekend. My daughters little Dach/Yorkie mix "Slinkie" took over my lap this afternoon when I sat down to have a bite to eat. He is too cute. My daughter always says that he is the best Christmas present that we have ever given her.

I got an order of new fragrances to try out today in my soaps. And since Big Daddy isn't home to distract me I had some soapy fun. Tonight I tried "Raspberry Lemonade" It smells SOOOO good right out of the bottle. I really hope that it doesn't morph at all. All the reviews are good though. I recently discovered that I really like yogurt as an additive. So this one has Tussah Silk, Shea Butter and Yogurt. Everything went together really smooth. No soapy GREMLINS TONIGHT!!! I hope those gremlins stay hiding where ever they are! I can't wait to cut this one with my new cutter! Which works like a dream, I am so pleased with it!

I have some really cute pictures of my young bantams and Silkies that we took the other day that I need to upload. The funniest thing about these babies is that every single baby has feathers that stick up on top of their head. Even the ones that are only half Silkie. It really is the funniest thing ever and makes them all look so cute. I am particularly loving the Splash Silkie babies. Really, really pretty! Well, to me at least. I am sure they wouldn't be to someone who shows them, but that isn't me. I see some warmer temps in the forecast and I am sure all of the flock will love some warmer weather to enjoy. Although they really haven't seemed TOO bothered by the cooler temperatures so far.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!

I can't think of a better present unconditional love. That cutie face doesn't hurt either. I have the soap bug too. Its fun expermenting with different oils. I like being creative making things. I was given 2 free bottles of fragence oils from organic creations with a order. They are both floral I havn't opened them but I can smell them they are strong. I'm going to stick with essential oils for scent. If you would like them P M me your address. Show me a pic of your cutter. I'm so glad everthing worked out well. love the colors. Can't wait to see the chick pics. Pam

Not the greatest picture, but......I took a quick one the other day for my sis. The cutter has some cosmetic flaws, but works effectively like the cutters that I have seen for sale at about $160.00. This one cost about half that. But making something yourself adds that sense of satisfaction. I just can't get over how easy it is to cut a whole loaf all in one swoop

You should keep the FO for just a little bit at least. I bet you will have someone that will want a floral scented soap. If you don't end up using it I would be happy to bear the burden of taking it off your hands

I hope I don't get like some of my soaping acquaintances. They call themselves FO junkies/wh*res. Lol! I wonder if it will edit if you just type in whore. Hmm.....I may need to get some sleep if I am going to handle these kids by myself tomorrow

I went to the High School football final playoffs in NO, my grandson is on the UHigh team. They were undefeated for the year and took a hard loss at the playoffs. It was sad, but the coach imprinted them about the honor of making it to the finals, so the kids took it better than the parents and grandparents. Lol. This was my first time away overnight since I only had 3 young pullets. Now I have 3 hens, 2 pullets and 2 rabbits. All I could think of was Julie's nightmare. Of course this was only overnight and not nearly as many animals and tasks, and as long as they are safely locked up they really can survive one night. My 88 year old mom was to be the keeper. I gave the bunnies enough hay, pellets and water that she really didn't have to do anything with them. I raked the path to the coops so she would be on even ground. Cleaned the coops and put in plenty of food and water. I adjusted the coop locks and greased them so she could easily move them. (Easier for the raccoons and possums, too?). We did two practice runs. Gave her a head flashlight so she wouldn't have to hold one. All she had to do without fail was to lock the coops in the evening. The extra would be to open them in the morning. She called me in NO that she couldn't do one lock, but it was a two lock coop, so I literally prayed that one lock would be enough. They were fine when I got home. I went out and held and petted them like a long lost cousin. They were happy to see me (you think?). The dogs were twirling in delight upon my return. One dog needed medicine 2 times which I put into pill pockets in zip locks and labeled. The cat didn't get eye medicine, but is almost healed. Whew. I'm not sure one overnight is worth it. Well, yes it is when it's your grand kids. Anything to support my grand kids, but travel can't be a passion for animal lovers. Incompatible. Lol

Slinkie is adorable! Reminds me, oh yeah? Any of you remember the puppy I ranted about my sister-in-law got in the parvo hot zone seemed things up hopeless for? I forgot to say but it turns out even though she got ticked off at me my words reached her. She took the "allowed" shoes away immediately and took much more caution with Jubilee until she was fully vet vaccinated. Slinkie reminds me of Jubilee. Goes to show that sometimes speaking up can have good results, even if it ticks someone off for a minute.



Though whether of not she will survive continuously trying to bite the cat's tail is a completely 'nother topic. lol

It sounds like things went just fine. If you have that situation come up again, I know of two OUTSTANDING LSU students who live on campus. They are the children of a good friend of mine. A young man, and his sister. If there is ever the need, PM me and I can get you contact info. He was honorably discharged from the service, due to a severe head injury during training. He has to wait one more year before he can join again.

I'm glad she was able to listen to what you were telling her. I'm sure once she had time to "cool off" she knew that you were only trying to help her.
Glad things are going well. It might be a different story once that cat's tail it caught!!!
