Lotion

I have recently began making my own lotion. It has been turning out very nice too. Even if I am the one to say so. :) I am thinking about selling it but I am not wanting to pay the fees to have an Etsy shop so I am offering it to you here.

   It is made with all natural oils and aloe vera. I use a verity of herbs and essential oils. My current favorite herbs for lotion are; calendula, orange, lavender, rose and comfrey. I always use some coconut oil and I also use olive, grape seed, sunflower, hazelnut oils and cocoa butter.
  I re-purpose jars to hold the lotion. I mostly have 8 oz jars.
 I can sell this for $10 plus shipping.

Art or the artists?

This past week we did some tie dying. We did it in our garage so we wouldn't get the dye on anything in the house. Which was a good thing since some people splashed all over the floor. Afterward we noticed that we didn't just tie dye clothing, some feet were beautiful colors too!
There are some beautiful feet.

Have you ever heard of this?

This week in teaching my children, the los lunas stone was mentioned. I had never heard of it before and I'm wondering why. but here is an interesting article on it.  http://www.ancient-hebrew.org/15_williamson.html check it out and let me know what you think.
