It has been awhile!!

Hey y'all! *waves* I hope this finds everyone doing good. Sorry I haven't updated in awhile, with school, adventures with my youngins, and working on some other projects things have been swamped for me. I don't get a chance to update as often as I would like to.  :(
Anyhow, for those that have still stuck around, I have a bit of an update for you. :)
The hubster and I decided to create a new business, Betwixt & Between Soapery that will be launching online this month. Yeeehaaaaaaw! We are excited for this new journey!! We are still doing Southern Aroma Creations with Mrs. Daisy and her Mister, but we have put it on hold while we work out rebranding and such. We do have plans to relaunch Southern Aroma Creations sometime in 2016, but a date hasn't been set yet. We will let you know when we have a relaunch date.

Aside from my soapmaking, I have been doing a fair bit of writing when I have downtime from school. I have one series that I have been working on for about a year or so that I hope to publish within the next couple of years, and a couple of new series that I am fleshing out a bit. I love writing almost as much as I love making soap! :)

Another update:
Our 3rd son will be graduating this year (only 1 more to go after that!!), and land sakes we sure are proud of him! When he was diagnosed years ago they told us that he would never be able to communicate well, and likely wouldn't excel in academics. They told us quite a few things that he wouldn't be able to achieve that he has. We refused to allow them to put limitations on our son like that. We were determined, and bless him, he has blown away so many obstacles that we are just pleased as punch!!  He is also the same son that was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at 8 years old, and with a lot of work we were able to hit his A1C goals as well. So much is possible with the love and support of ones family, even at the most darkest of times. We are so proud of all of our boys and their determination to overcome hurdles that are sent their way. We are truly blessed. :)

Ok y'all, I just wanted to pop in and say hello, and give some updates but I got a ton of stuff to do this evening. I hope everyone is doing great! Stay safe!!
Suds & Bubbles,

Where has the time gone?!?!

*waves* Happy Tuesday y'all!! Gosh, it has been so long since I have posted, well since July that is...but still a long time! Anyhow, life has been an interesting journey for me. Just to give you a glimpse into my personal life a bit. My two oldest youngins are out on their own now. My oldest has been out on his own for a little over a year. My second oldest youngin graduated last June and moved to Florida. My younger two are growing like weeds. My oldest of the younger two is a junior this year, and my youngest a sophomore. I just can't get over how much all my babies have grown, and each of them have grown into amazing young men. :) 

Aside from this, I am still in school until 2016 meanwhile the hubsters is going to be graduating in 12 weeks from now. We are still teamed up with Miss Daisy and her Mister making awesome products, but are in the process of revamping a lot of stuff including the website. It is a work in progress. We are working towards setting up at another event for Memorial Day weekend also which is exciting!! 

The hubster and I are working on some projects together also. One of our projects has to do with the inside of the shop. We are going to be insulating the shop, putting in some cabinets, rearranging things and hopefully getting someone to come out and wire it for electricity. That is our ultimate goal since southern summers are so humid and hot, and the winters...well a good portion of the winter is almost like fall lol, but there are times when we get down in the 20's and below. Occasionally we get below zero also. I don't like to be held up from my soaping adventures due to the weather so it's just gonna have to be done! *wink*

Have I still been making soap during this time? Why yes...yes I have!!! So here are a few pictures of the soap I have made during my absence from my blog.

Ok y'all, I have to run get some things done this morning. I am hoping to have some new soap to post over the next few days! I hope everyone is having a great week so far, and check back soon!
