• Thursday, December 28, 2006 - No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth......

I am still around, but as you can imagine Christmas came charging through and left us very busy! Today will be the first day I have NOT been to my father's house in about 2wks or so!

Today is my twin's 12th birthday! Man how time flies!! I may blog about them at my other blog!

And speaking of blogs--I have a new blog I will begin posting on Jan. 1.....come check it out!! www.xanga.com/threehundredsixtyfivedays

For Christmas I gave out soap petals! Let me just say SIMPLE and EASY and AWESOME!

Buy some fake flowers, cut off the petals. Buy some glycerin and melt (can be found at hobby stores) Add fragrance if desired. Drop petals into melted soap, use tweezers or whatever to pull out. Drape petals over wax paper which has been accoridan folded. Let them set (they set QUICK!) Then place into containers.

To use: grab a petal, wash hands with it--throw petal away!

I found some great plastic cups to put our petals in to give out as gifts!

I will try and post more here!

Oh next project around the house: swapping my bedroom for the living room! We are going to move the living room stuff into my bedroom and my bedroom into the living room!! I can't wait--I look forward to having a bedroom with out computers or people walking through!
