RE: Re: Colleen

I have a lot of soapwerks (Kellers) micas and I love em. I also have

some

Hi Jeanine. Well he is hobbling along. He was getting realy bored and

uncomfortalbe sitting too long with his leg up, so he treid to get up more

but then he was getting a lot of pain again, so I made him get back down and

now he is bored again. Thursday I took him to his first followup and they

xrayed again so I got to see it this time, Man oh man! He is just havign

a hard time but I guess that is to be expected.

Thanks for asking.

Yes thats true. Things could have been a whole lot worse.

Shaye

If this accident had to happen - better now than when it gets warm and nice.

Poor Gretchen had her accident in the summer. She wore the cast way into

the fall. Missed all her swimming.

Thanks, Shaye. I was pretty sure they were OK so I did pound on some of

it last night and got my 1/4 cup but held off adding it to my mixture

until I heard from you guys.

Thanks

stupid question?

Hey group

I know I haven't been around much lately. My daughter recently moved

into a new house (well, I should say old house) and have been SO busy

renovating it. In between that I'm either babysitting my granddaughter

or filling orders. I also had an order to do 40 soaps for a wedding

shower.

I have a good size order to fill and one of the items on the order is

Bath Salts. I used to make them all the time but haven't made any in a

few years. Now for the question.....is there a Shelf Life for Sea Salts,

Dendritic Salt and Epsom Salts? My Sea Salts seem fine - no clumping.

My Dendritic Salt seems fine, too. But I have 3 boxes of Epsom Salts and

they are all a solid block in the box. If I can break the Epsom Salts up

so they're usable will they be OK to use or should I go out and buy all

new? I'm only making a pound of Bath Salts so I only need 1/4 cup of

Epsom Salts for this recipe.

I'd like to get this order done and in their hands by Tuesday night. So

if anybody has an answer for me please post it right away!!

Thanks

I remember you saying once that you were going to play around with it

but never heard the outcome. I don't a LOT of oxides on hand. I use

mostly micas in my soaps since I only do M & P. The colors of oxides I

have I don't think I would like to pot on my face :>) Anyway, I really

would like to try it. The other part of the mineral makeup thing is

that the brushes you use are really very important in how well the

makeup goes on. And good brushes can get expensive, too. But I'm sure

it's all worth it in the long run. I hate to even think of all of the

unknown chemicals and goop we're putting on our face using store bought

make-up.

RE: Mineral Makeup

, its not expensive if you already have oxides on hand which I

think

most of us do since we make soaps. You just need a few other things.I

made

some a while back and managed to match up my skin but it did take a

little

tweeking and I think unfortunatly I forgot to take notes. I am getting

low

on what I made so its time to play again. And I've done some eye

shadows

too and attempted a blush but it wasnt the best. Since then I havnt

made

the time to play too much so I havnt sold any but it is one of those

goals

of mine. This time I will be sure and take notes! LOL

I'll have a couple of suppliers and I'll look up the website of a gal

who

has TONS of supplies and I'll email you. Or I beleive Monave has kits

if

im not mistaken.

Hi Shaye

So glad to hear your husband will have a walking cast on. Just in time

for the good weather, too.

Good luck on your computer, too. What a pain they can be!!

Re: trouble with DPC

I wish us all good luck. My hubby has used Mozilla and I beleive he

liked it too. He is an EE also. Im not sure thats what he currently

uses though. I have been using Slimbrowser and I like it I guess.

Today is the day, Hubby is suppose to get his cast off. YEAH! Ok now

for the walking cast. I imagine I will still be driving him places

and carrying stuf for him for a few weeks yet. He is anxious to get

out on his cycle. (rolling eyes) LOL

Computer is still in the shop, they didnt call yesterday.

Have a good day and enjoy this nice weather!

Oops, I posted my question to you and then read the rest of my email

where you answered my question.

RE: Re: Gathering Biz - a few things

, I dont really have a cut off date. I'll put you down and then

you

can let me know when the time comes if you can still make it or not.

That

sound ok?

Im sorry you have to be going thru this with your grandpa.

Everyone who is not sure... and wether or not to pay the fee because

your

not sure. You will be reimbursed if you pay and you dont make it. I

understand things happen.

Thanks!

One tiny little change..... not a " tentative " this year LOL. I really can't

wait till this all comes together. Will Kaye be there????

LOL ok cool! Do you mean Kae? Im not sure, she hasnt said anything as of

yet.

Shaye

[Guest guest]

Hi guys!

Yes, I am here...

I am thinking I am going to have to pass on the gathering this year. I have sooo

much work to do, and we keep finding MORE " projects " to do.

We had an addition on the garage this past summer, so Mark could have some room

for a workshop. (a dream for him) Well, I decided (woe is me!!!) that as a

Christmas gift the kids and I would help to insulate the old part of the garage

so he wouldn't freeze in the winter, nor bake in the summer. and I

spent 4 days putting up insulation. I worked with this HORRIBLE mask that made

me literally GASP for breath...anyway, I got sick with a rotten cold for about 2

weeks after that. We are just finishing up putting up OSB over the insulation.

I now need to cut down 6 trees in the front yard, as they were supposed to be

cut down several years ago. I need to cut firewood. Thankfully, I was like a

crazed beaver last year, and cut down so much wood, we STILL have quite a bit

left over! Hurrah!!! Oh, and while putting up the insulation, I was using a

staple gun to tack it up. Apparently, the stapler buggered up my hand and now it

feels numb and " tingly " ...so now I am wondering how the chainsaw work will go.

Mark is really wanting to get an addition on our back deck. He was only in the

swimming pool once last year. Getting him in and out involves everyone

co-operating to accomplish this. He is hoping to get a deck by the pool so he

can get in and out without so much help. He also has never been in the hot tub,

as he is nervous about getting back out again. He is thinking we can incorporate

the deck to have a seat so he can also get in and out of the tub. Also, we need

some sidewalks.

Does my schedule look a LITTLE busy? hehehehe In the midst of all of this, I am

HOPING we can do a little camping, too. Last night, and I " camped out "

and had fun! It makes me crazy seeing that little camper parked out there...I

have SUCH a case of " wanderlust " ...

Hopefully, we will be able to complete this mountainous amount of STUFF...in the

autumn, we plan to finish the garage by insulating the upstairs and then

covering the walls and ceiling. I am so sure that by the time winter comes, I

will be ready to HIBERNATE!!!!!

Kae..who keeps running into herself coming and going....

LOL ok cool! Do you mean Kae? Im not sure, she hasnt said anything as of

yet.

OMG!!! What do you do in your spare time? We will surely miss you Kae.

Perhaps by July you may find that you need a day off.

Hey Lou, I miss you too!!!!

Hehehehehe

Please forgive my facetious(?) mood....I just watched the BUFFALO

SABRES game, and well....I thought my heart was TRULY going to QUIT

working several times!!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SABRES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Jeanine, did you see that game?)

OK, now that THAT is off my chest....

Yes, , I do love the winter, but one of the MAIN reasons is that

because the days are shorter, I can sneak off to my bedroom earlier to

relax without feeling guilty. Long days make for MUCH more work....I do

not look forward to that....

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Sabres!!!!

Oh, Jeanine, this was the MOST nail-biting game I have EVER seen.

And those OLN announcers were so pro-Ottawa. Poor Mark was all

gloomy, and I told him NOT to worry...there was ONE minute left in

the game...sure enough, those Sabres tied it up, and finished off

the game in 18 SECONDS of overtime....Am I PSYCHED? You betcha!!! We

made it to 2 Sabres games this year. It was so cool. I am so tired

of Buffalo being the brunt of every bad joke. I am really pulling

for the Sabres to do Buffalo proud!!!!

Thank you, Shaye! It just seems like this year we have so much to

do, and Mark has been working so hard to get things put together. I

figure once the garage is put in order, then we can <finally>

concentrate on the house. So many things have been overlooked for

far too long. My parents came for a couple of days this past week

for a visit....my dad spent one day fixing outdoor light fixtures

that had gone bad. Can you imagine a 76 yo man up HIGH on a ladder?

Dad puts me to shame!!!!!! (I do NOT do electrical work!!!)

I know I will miss everyone, too. I have looked forward to the

gathering every year with great anticipation. As you know, I don't

" get out much " and look forward to seeing my soapy buds!

Soooo, this year I shall live vicariously, looking forward to posts

describing all the fun and excitement!!!

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! I had a good day. You know your

getting old when you thought you were a year older than you actually are!!!

LOL But thats a good thing though.

Hubby took a vacation day today, we went for breakfast and some garage

saleing. Found some old small size picture frames for one of my hobbies for

cheep. I was thrilled about that. And hubby found a cane to use when he

gets rid of those crutches.. Its unusal and handcarved with an elephant on

it. Not sure what wood it is. Then in the afternoon I picked my dd up

from school and took her to a dr appt. And to have a little blood drawn

(she has the biggest needle phobia I swear but we got thru it). And then

we ate dinner at " Shaye's Cafe " where they cooked out steak on the grill,

roast potatoes and corn on the cob. yummy. Then of course a very chocolate

cake. Now just recovering from the meal. . The weather was vry nice

and not rainy like they predicted. So it was a good day. My family bought

me a very cool gift. One of those cool saop cutters from " For Crafts Sake "

Cant wait to make some soap to try it out!!!! I looks like a very nice

thing.

Thanks again for all the birthday wishes guys!!! Your the best!

Shaye
