Just in time for Valentine’s Day and the High Noon Craftacular! I have finally found a few minutes to whip up some cocoa butter soaps that I have been meaning to make forever. If you are feeling romantic, I have heart shapes, and if you, well, aren’t, I have skulls! They are available right now in chocolate chip cookie, coconut cream, lemon peel and strawberry cream. There may be a few more available before the show though.

I have been so busy lately between family stuff and shop stuff and just generally being exhausted. I had to take my little one in to the ER a few days ago and that was stressful too. Thank god nothing too serious. She has been on a treatment plan for acid reflux for about a month but right now it is still kind of a guessing game. Out of nowhere she will get these awful sharp pains on her left side under her ribs and the other night she had a really bad bout so we hauled her to the ER. Our doc and the urgent care nurse said in order to get a really good work up they would recommend just taking her straight there. Sure enough, no sooner did we get to the ER and they had her hooked up to an EKG and heart monitor as well as get chest x-rays to rule out any kind of heart or lung problems. Nope. Clean bill of health. Of course, she was treated like a princess and since none of the procedures were painful, she informed me she LOVES the hospital. I told Jerome how about we avoid that place for another six months!!!

So, besides emergency room visits, the girls and I having nasty chest colds, and pregnancy exhaustion, all is well.

I do still have 15% off everything in the shop and there is a ton of really great stuff left. Some products have even further sales, up to 40%, on T-Shirt project items and Evil Kitty (starting today).

I also want to thank everyone who has sent me such warm wishes and good luck. I really appreciate all the kindness and sweet words. I’m gonna need it while I clean out the shop and get ready for the Craftacular!
