Just thought I’d get this going - this is a good place to just get to know each other.
Just a few comments about me - I’m a great nana (at least that’s what my 6 grand daughters say!), a good wife (well, most of the time…been working on it for 37 years) and a great pet owner (my hubby says he wants to come back as one of my pets!). I love gardening, learning about herbs and holistic ways of nature, studying the biblical roots (instead of man’s doctrine/tradition), and networking with others that enjoy the same things.
This blog was created because I’d like to meet other crafters in the state of Missouri and couldn’t find any other way to do it. So I’m hoping that a LOT of Missouri Crafters will find our blog, our yahoogroup and our home page - Missouri Crafters!
My favorite craft is soap making, herbal tinctures and making herb vinegars - what’s yours?

Essential oils can be uplifting to the soul…as well as to the body! My favorite essential oil is lavender I think - it is good for just about everything - from burns, to blisters, to cuts and scrapes….and for soaking in the bath and being ‘carried away’.
There are various types of lavender - and my favorite is Bulgarian Lavender - I think it smells the best. I love putting it in my handcrafted soap - and so does everyone else.

I’ve never made candles, but it is on my to-do-list. I’d like to make some vanilla candles as I love the smell of vanilla beans. Its so unfortunate that vanilla beans are SO EXPENSIVE!! I’m looking for a nice co-op where its not an arm-and-a-leg. Know of any available co-ops out there with reasonable prices?

I love making soap! And it is true - no lye - no soap! I don’t know how many times I’ve been asked if my soap has lye in it! hehe - but I’ve got the ready answer - NO LYE NO SOAP - NO WAY!
My favorite soap is a wonderful mix of natural ingredients of Olive Oil, Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil and Coconut Oil - along with real lavender flowers from my garden, and lavender essential oil. Oh my … not only does it smell like heaven, it IS heaven! The luxurious bubbles and creamy feeling that glides along your curves (or no curves) makes you feel like the most pampered person on the earth.
It actually is very easy to make - and I’ll be posting a recipe for Lavender Soap soon. Keep checking back.
