Crafty Women

Okay so I have taken it upon myself to find a new hobby, but It is at a standstill. I am making homemade spa products. Why not, right? Also came up with some bird houses and small wooden boxes. Trying to figure out how to get this off the ground for the holidays. I have gift baskets and products to make but need the right crowd first I suppose. So far I have come up with: 1. Lemon Hand Scrub 2. Coconut Oil Salt Scrub 3. Brown Sugar Oatmeal Body Scrub 4. Soothing Lavender Foot Scrub 5. Homemade Hand Scrub 6. Peppermint Candy Cane sugar Scrub 7. Sugar Cookie Foot Scrub 8. Sea Salt Foot Scrub 9. Crystal Light Lip Gloss 10. Gardner’s Hand Scrub 11. Sweet Tea w Lemon hand Scrub 12. Caramel Sauce 13. Chocolate Chip Cookies in a jar 14. Oatmeal Cookies in a Jar 15. Lip Scrub/Treatment 16. Vanilla coconut brown sugar scrub 17. Pumpkin Body Scrub 18. Small Painted Bird Houses 19. Small Painted Wooden Boxes 20. Painted Flower Jars w Flower Seeds It seems like a good start product wise, Right? All homemade, all natural, even in reusable jars. $3 each product or 2 for $5 or a gift basket set up for $20 for 5 items with extras. This is something I have wanted to do for a while and I think I am ready to start on it, if I can find a place to sell :p Seems Perfect for the holidays, quick easy gifts for Neighbors, Friends, family, teachers, really whoever. At least that's the idea.

My thoughts on the term for "The One That Got Away"

Not the best first post for a new blog but it is what is on my mind… The one who got away, what a crappy term. I have such a big problem with this statement. I mean if they were “the one” why would they “get away”? Sure I believe in true love and all but how fair is to think no one will be as good as your first, or as the one you let leave. It feel apart for a reason, whether it was mutual or one sided (yes one sided will hurt one party more than the other but it is a commitment if one isn't in it 100% then the other who put it all in will of course feel worse off but really they aren't because why be with someone who feels you aren't the one or they are stuck on the one who got away in the past.) any way… How fair would it be for me to think “oh my first kiss back when I was 14 was the one. I can’t get hooked in my past and neglect my present. How can you truly be in a relationship when you are hung up on your ex? If you truly want to be a good partner you need to let your past go. Yes learn, live, remember ect… but you can’t think “I will never have love like that again” How fair is that to you partner in life? I know I wouldn't want to be with someone who thinks they already had the best they ever will. Frankly that would suck. A partnership is about equality. If you gave your heart/feelings to someone wouldn't you want something in return? Would you hope for the same feelings or would you want less than you gave?
