Apple Pie Spice Soap Bars

Freckles and I bought supplies to try out a couple soap recipes we found on Pinterest, since Autumn is in the air and we like doing seasonal projects... This was so easy....I think it just may be something we will be making as gifts for Christmas etc....

Apple Pie Spice Soap Bar

Note the recipe is for Pumpkin Spice Soap...Just do everything the same except use apple pie spice and use a little more red coloring. I used food coloring btw. I also added a 1/4 tsp vanilla extract..You can also add some apple spice essential oil for more apple fragrance.

We also made the pumpkin spice soap and added 1/4 tsp. almond extract. 

Have fun!!

Watercolor~Sketches Days 9~14

I have been having so much fun challenging myself to keep up with this October sketch challenge I joined up with. Each day I have to draw/sketch a picture from a word prompt. 

So far I am keeping up and lovin' it!!!

My Day 9 sketch  

"HAY"

I drew up this sweet piggy in some hay...

What would hay be without a cute pig eh???

Day 10

"BOOTS"

This is so far one of my favorite sketches. 

If I could find me some boots like this...

I would so wear them with a dress!

Day 11

"APPLES"

I went outside the box on this one, while everyone doing the challenge is sketching yummy apples and baskets etc... I drew an oldie but goody...

A Vintage 70's Fisher Price toy from my childhood days.

Day 12

"WARM & COZY"

What screams more warm and cozy than a scene out in the woods cuddled up with the love of your life bundled up in coats, scarves, hats and afghans next to a crackling fire. Now that is cozy y'all!!!

Day 13

"FOOTBALL"

I gave this one to Mr. Darling...He loved it!!!

DAY 14

"OWL"

I did this sweet little vintage owl figurine for this word prompt. The funny thing is, my daughter was just asking if I would sketch and paint an owl for her...Just so happens that owl was my next word to sketch. So of course I did this piece especially for my girl.

More to come!!!!

Teatime Tuesday~ Apple Picking At Gizdich Ranch

Happy Tuesday!

It's Tea Time again! 

Today I pulled out some of my Apple Cinnamon Tea....Yummy and perfect for an Autumn afternoon. Especially after coming home from a morning adventure at a farm/ranch. Freckles and I drove over the hills to Gizdich Ranch to pick apples. I knew we were cutting it pretty close by coming so late in the season...There was really nothing to pick....You could however purchase apples already picked in their market. We made a time of it anyways and walked around the farm and the apple orchard.

We enjoyed a little pastry and the Gizdich Ranch award winning apple juice...

It was so good...Like drinking the apple from a bottle.

Just take a look at their apple pies!!!!

3 pounds of apples in this sucker!!!

Now to make some goodies!!!

Now that's what I'm talkin' about!

Thanks for popping in today...It was short but sweet.

Apple Picking Inspiration

Freckles and I are going to the Apple Farm this coming week....So I thought I'd share some apple picking inspiration for y'all!!! We have plans for making apple butter, apple pie, apple sauce and more this Fall...So exciting! Happy Weekend to you!!!
