My 2 Pride and Joys

These beautiful little ones are my Son Aaron's babies. They are one of the reasons I wake up each day happy to be alive. Before they were born I couldn't imagine how wonderful being a Grandma could be.

My little buddy Brenden will be 4 in July. He is smart,sometimes a little to smart. He's creative, he likes to craft, color and build things and he has a wicked sense of humor. Best of all he is loving and spends a lot of time cuddling with Granny.

He reminds me so much of his Daddy when he was my sweet little boy, they are a lot alike.
My little beauty Lexiepoo is so much fun. She's funny, independent,fearless and frisky. She loves her big brother she also loves to aggravate him. Watching her grow is going to be interesting....
So Dear Readers thank you for indulging me with my Grandma pride and letting me share my 2 little love monkeys with you.......

What's up?

So I've been neglecting my blog the last couple of weeks.
Why you may ask?

Well I have been busy with taking care of some unexpected health problems and getting ready for tomorrow's craft show.

I am feeling better and with a few life style changes and some time I will be all good. Turning 50 sucks, lol.

Tomorrow I am doing one of my favorite craft shows it is......
The Wabash Valley Herb Festival
It's a great festival on the banks of the Wabash river in Terre Haute, Indiana. It is filled with vendors selling herbs and flowers and garden related items and hand crafts. It's a jurried show and I like that because there are no buy and sell vendors there. It's a very popular annual event that people look forward to all year.
It has been raining here so much latley I was conserned that it would be raining but it looks like it's going to be a cool clear day....awesome.

Well it's getting late and I have to get up at 4:30 am to go set up, I will say good night!

Something for my sore muscles



ARRRRGGGG I hate getting old and some of the things that go with it. For me the body aches are the worst part. So a few years ago I started making different soaks and bath teas to relax my ouchys. I decided to make some for my shops.

I just love this stuff it smells awesome. When I am tired and my muscles ache I fill my tub with warm water . Then I fill a cotton bag with the herbs and salt and drop it into the tub to dissolve the salts and release the beautiful scent. The salts relax my muscles and the scent relaxes me. It is the perfect end to a long day.

The combo of dead sea and Epsom salts relax and sooth sore muscles and help detox the skin. I like the rose petals and hips the oils from them seem to help soften my skin. The wild rose and oak is such a awesome warm calming scent.

The resealable bag holds 1 lb. of salts and a reusable cotton bag to fill with the salts and petals. Just fill the bag and drop into the warm tub let the salts dissolve and soak you aches away.
