Shop Homemade

I've decided to scout out some unique gifts and the more homemade the better.

The very first one I give 5 stars is Nikki Makes Scents. Nikki makes high quality, homemade candles, body oils (that smell and last a long time)incense, kids fragrances, lotions and aromatherapy. I have purchased the body oils and it never fails, I get tons of compliments on smelling good.

Another great site for handmade items is Etsy. They have unique items that are one of a kind...even baked goods, aprons, toys, vintage clothing...the list goes on and on.

Buyhandmade.com is another place to find unusual items but great quality.

My ultimate chocolate fix comes in the form of See's candy. Mary Sees sure knew how to whip up a bite of not just ordinary chocolate but eat piece after piece chocolate. Mail orders are a must!

Among some of my favorite goodies catalogs, I love shopping at LTD Commodities

That's it for now! Happy shopping online!!!

I grew up on Sees and never knew what was so great about it, I also grew up on Stewart's soda and people in the south FLIP over it. What's the big deal??? LOL

I guess it depends on where you grow up.

Only I....

Only I --- could cut my tongue eating a graham cracker. Only I --- could be the designated pillow for the kitty. Only I --- could cry from hearing O Come All Ye Faithful. Only I --- could eat seaweed for breakfast and convince myself that it is the yummiest snack there is. (Even better than Reeses Puffs Cereal) . Only I --- could develop an allergy to fish after 49 years. Only I --- could have the joy of teaching a classroom of preschool kids in church and hearing them pray. Only I --- could have an epic fail day in the kitchen while making caramel apples. Note to self --lose the recipe for reverse caramel apples. Only I --- would get the same guy twice on the phone wanting to commit suicide - AGAIN. This time, though, he was threatening to take out a few people with him. Scary but true. Only I --- could misunderstand someone that is telling me that they are "packing". She said, "I'm still living here but I'm packing." My re...

My Bucket List

My twin sis and I have bucket lists. The funny thing is that they aren't literally on paper. They are in our heads. For instance, my Nay Nay called me and said, "You won 't believe what I did!  I got big girl shoes…for my bucket list." "Really? Big girl shoes?" I asked. I knew exactly what she meant. When we were born, and back in the day when braces could or should be recommended for feet that in-toed, we weren't given that joy. As a result, walking in high heels can often be a challenge. My Nay Nay decided that she was going to cross off one thing on that bucket list and found a deal of 10 pairs of heels. (Not one but 10. She went for the gusto.) Each day, she practiced walking in her big girl shoes until the moment finally came and she ROCKED those heels! Together we have decided that we WILL cross off stuff on our growing bucket lists. Some of those things are on both of our lists while others are our very own "personal" bucket lists...
