Another busy week! More new earrings available at Miss Val's Creations!
I love the multi-faceted
hematite. These were picked up at a bead show. Their shimmer was calling me
from across the room!!!! They sold the night I posted them but I have since
made another pair!
Milk and Honey NaturalsI received this wonderfully scented bug repellent from blogging friend CourtneyJo of Milk and HoneyNaturals.
This solid can be tossed into your purse with no worry of leakage or
smelling horribly (let’s face it, wearing bug spray will repel humans as well
as bugs). Its scent includes rosemary, eucalyptus and citronella. After warming
it in your hands for a few seconds it can then be rubbed on your skin.
Milk and Honey Naturals on Etsy also includes soaps like this yummy vanilla mint soap.
Rhododendron in Bloom
One of my rhododendrons started
blooming! My cheap camera took some gorgeous photos! It is amazing how the
flower goes from this...
...to this in just a few days!!!
Rhododendrons are not a favorite of mine. They are pretty when they are in
bloom but I find them a bit ugly the rest of the year. I am really trying to
grow fond of them since they are super hearty and like New England weather.
Bucket List
Some of you may remember that I
jumped out of a plane back in September 2010 (blogged about here). Yes that is me
freefalling in the sky with a very fake smile for the camera. I started writing
my bucket list that month and did the most difficult item first.
Many months later that is still
the only thing I have checked of my list, but had the intentions of doing 1 thing
a year.
My 38th birthday was April 11 and this year I decided to
cross another item of the list to celebrate which I will be doing this
afternoon. If I am not back with a blog post next week that means I have
incurred a serious injury. This item is less dangerous than skydiving but the
disclaimers I will have to sign are probably similar! Find out next week what
crazy thing I did this time!
Have a great spring week everyone. Thank you for stopping by! ~Val
