Teaming with Oklahoma Donation
Just donated 30 bars of handcrafted soap to the Teaming with Oklahoma drive sponsored by Nellis AFB. I (along with my husband, who I drafted into soapmaking with me) have become quite the hot process soapmaker in the last year. I rebatched a bunch of my soaps over the weekend, making 3 batches exclusively for the OK project. They turned out really nice. Unfortunately, I did not take a picture of them to post here:(

New Goals for 2013
For 2013 I want to go bigger than 2012 of course. First of all, I must admit I am ashamed regarding the lack of posts during the year. This is one area for which I would like to improve. I would also like to increase the items and the diversity of items I contribute to SW this year.
I would also like to note that, in 2012, I devoted all of the items donated to local charities here in Nevada. That, my friends, is a first. This is a trend that I would like to continue. Not that I would exclude any items to be donated outside of the state, but it is a nice change for SW as it: #1 is nice to help the local community and 2) saves on postage, and #3 therefore, allows me to contribute more.
I would like to donate in excess of 300 items this year. As well as the predominate scarves (of course!), I would like to focus more on hats and soaps for the needy.
Here we go again!
