I am at it again!!!! 6/12/2008

For those of you that know me well, you know this is the beginning of a great batch of SOAP!!!

This is the lye and carrot juice mixture you start with.

Here are a few pictures of how it is done. This is my famous carrot soap, yes I said carrot soap!!

Great ingredients like olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter and cocoa butter.

Melt it all down.

Stir it all up.

Pour it in the molds

Put the lid on and put it to bed!! You must use an old wool blanket, it makes it better.

Finally

This is old news but here it is anyway.

I finally graduated form my Master Gardeners class.

I will never regret driving 1 hour and 20 minutes

one way to attend this class once a week for 17 weeks.

What now?? More fun!!

I still go the the demo garden,

downtown Phoenix, every Tuesday morning to help out.

It is a big job since we can grow

vegetables here in Arizona year around

and it is a big garden.

Each week we plant new seeds, dig up old stuff

and harvest what is on the vine.

We work with the compost and fix the drip system.

Oh yes!! We weed!!

Here I am with a few of my favorite people in class, 38 people graduated that day.

This was so much fun!!!!

I recommend it for everyone; each state has their own program.
