My Sister...Donna Brinkworth

She is my inspiration: If it wasn't for my sister I wouldn't be on this journey. I want to say to her thank you from the bottom of my heart...and here she is..


These are just a couple of Donnas babies.. her border collies Jet on the left and Ted they are both super nice dogs and smart. They do sheep herding as well as tracking. Jet is all of herself and Ted well as you can see he is a character. Baaboos! Donna has a superb website that you should check out here http://www.spiritdancedogs.blogspot.com/

Thank You Sandy! Little Meadows Sheep Farm Rocks!

I just want to say thanks again to Sandy Wilson from Little Meadows Sheep Farm for making such wonderful soap, and for inspiring me to follow this passion check her soap out at this website: www.littlemeadowsheepfarm.com

Here it is! and its so delicious!!

Here is the picture of the Dead Sea Soap. I promised yesterday that I would post it.

The Dead Sea Soap Has Arrived!!!

The mailman showed up today with my precious package of Dead Sea Soap all the way from Pennsylvania!!!! Wow Thanks Sandy!!! It smells so good. The Dead Sea has been a place of healing since biblical times. The Salts and Mud are healing to your skin and are therapeutic for alot of different types of ailments. I am going to have a bath tonight and use it. Yum-Oh!

This is one of the soaps I would eventually like to make. I'm going to take a picture of it with my camera and will post it surething tonite so you all can see. Sandy sent me along with her soap, (Mine Now), lol, a nice wooden slatted soap dish. What a nice package to have gotten today!

Canola and Safflower Oil

I purchased a bottle of 100% pure Canola Oil Organic from the Superstore (Presidents Choice Blend) it was only $5.99 and got a bottle of 100% Safflower Oil while I was looking at it same price and brand. I've been reading alot of recipes and alot of them call for both of these oils. So now I have them! Yay!

Distilled Water

While I was returning my no good hand blender I decided I may as well get my distilled water. Distilled water is better to use as there are chemicals in our tap water like floride. Or your water may be hard depending on where you live. The big bottle cost me $3.00. Sandy from Little Meadow Sheep told me she freezes her distilled water as apparantly when you add the lye to it frozen it reduces the smell and fumes of the lye when you mix them. I asked her if it makes a difference when you have to measure your ounces she said no you just measure the volume. I will have to freeze some. For now, because I'm still not sure until I actually make my first batch, I will use it unfrozen. Sigh...so much to learn. This will be as I said all trial and error until we master the basic process. I am still itching to get started. We will master this!!
