When is Spring Anyway?

Uugh! Winter, This time of year I am so ready to be back in the bustle of it all. They say it is going to snow here tomorrow, maybe a foot. I do hope that is my mothers foot they are calling this by, because she only has a size 7 shoe :) I am sure the weather people didn't take that into consideration though. I know there are snow lovers out there, but this time of year I get so cooped up at the store. It is slow and I feel like I have displayed myself to death.

My pictures today are of one of our best soaps, Austrailian Secret. That is because this time of year everyone, even snow lovers are tired of having dried out skin. These soaps have no harsh chemicals, they lather up great, they have extra glycerin added to moisturize and they are made with natural plant ingredients- no animal products, or animal testing.

Everyone that trys them seems to enjoy them and keep coming back for more.

HOW TO MAKE PRIMITIVE SPICED FRUIT
Submitted by primsfromabove
Items you will need:
-Plastic Pears or Apples -
the uglier and the cheaper the better
(Lisa bought hers at Wal-Mart)
-Brown Acrylic Paint
-Modge Podge
-Spices - cinnamon, cloves,
nutmeg and pumpkin spice
-Acrylic Sealer/Finisher
DIRECTIONS - Paint your pears or any type of fruit brown. Let it dry, apply a 2nd coat if needed. Once it is dry then apply the modge podge. Mix equal amounts of spices and apply it to the fruit. You can also put the fruit in a bag and shake the bag that contains the spices. Lisa put hers in a bag, but held the pears by the stem and shook the bag around the modge podge covered fruit. Set aside and let dry. Once the fruit is dry then apply a light coat of the sealer/finisher and arrange in a prim crock bowl or basket.
