The Fruit of My Labor
So are you curious about how I got through my plan to take care of my crazy mess? I finished labeling the soaps that I needed yesterday morning. I even got one of the lotion scents bottled before lunch. After taking my youngest to kindergarten, I had the house to myself and worked on bottling the rest of the lotions. Making labels for the new lotions proved to take the longest. I finally had all the labels printed before dinner. After dinner the girls & I watched “Nim’s Island” while I cut apart the labels and applied them to the bottles. I had a total of 138 labels to cut & apply since I use two per bottle (front & back). I finished this around 9:00pm. Then I had to get all the soaps into my baskets and everything ready to load in my van. About this time I discovered that three out of five of the stands my husband made to support my soap baskets were damaged in the garage. So about 9:40pm, my sweet husband started fixing them for me – with glue and screws this time. I finally fell into bed at 10:36pm. The good news: I sold a lot of soap & lotions at the market today!! Next Saturday I’ll be at the Overland Park Fall Festival. I’ve already made my list of things to do for this week…
