Still Here.....making soy candles and such for the Christmas openhouse

Hello to you all....I thought I better do a quick post or you might stop visiting me!! I am still busy working on stuff for our Christmas Open House. I just have a few last minute things to get done. I say it's a few last minute touches but I am sure that it will take me hours!! I do all my crafting things in between being a Mom and Farm wife....and I am POOPED! My kids and hubby are most important so I don't like to take too much time away from them! We are still harvesting sunflowers so I think you get the picture that things have been busy! I will leave you with a few pictures of what I have been up.



My chapsticks are all poured and labeled but still need to be packaged in a

little bag with pretty ribbon!


My candles are all poured, labled and priced! They are ready to GO!




Fixins are ready to go...I will package a few but leave most

in big tubs to be scooped out and packaged as the

customer wants them.


For now I must run and get everything ready to go!!!!

Have a great weekend everyone...I will be able to stop by and visit after this weekend!

Until next time...................

  18. Hi, Farmchick,

    Thank you for visiting and commenting on my blog! That way I found my way to yours.

    You sound like a VERY busy farmwife! Lots going on....good for you!

    I'm guessing you're in the Great Plains somewhere since you have wheat. I love that photo on your sidebar of the combines....I love dust in photos of farm machines!

    Your candles look lovely. There's a soy candle company in New Hampton, Iowa, not too far from where I live.

    Thanksgiving blessings to you and yours!

  19. Hey Farmchick- this is odd chick- thanks for visiting my blog! We have a lot in common. I love that you make soy chapstiks. I make alfalfa stiks and chik sticks! I also make candles and other homemade products. I love sunflowers- and your pictures were a delight to the eyes. I hope you'll visit again!!
