fiberaddictYesterday was a fun, laid-back sort of day. Today it's back to the books.....this should be...fun. :lol: (2 weeks + 1 day off =/= fun for *me*.....for Herself, it means a return to the "normal" routine. A good thing. For Himself, it means *work*...not so fun.)
I spent Sunday setting up the next 6 weeks in PlanBook. We're all good to go, which is great - now it's "open and go", which I like. I printed the entire semester's worth of History.....so, yeah - open and go.
Yesterday was spent brainstorming new labels for my soap. I've been using printed cigar labels - easy, yes, but I have to cut each one to size, and hand-write the scent. Last week I picked up some 2x2 labels - those are my ingredient labels. Easy-peasy! I also picked up some oval labels for the front - once SG gets my new logo done (I want a sketch of Bree's head, with our farm name curving over it, and "Dairy Goats" curving under it.), I'll drop it on one side, and type the soap name next to it. Peel-n-stick, my kind of deal! :lol: (I'll still have to cut the band, but I can use pretty scrapbook paper for that, and the labels will hold it together. Should have less waste this way!)
I also have my next 4 or 5 batches planned......just waiting on the lye to come in. :rubs hands with glee:
IF Simchat Torah/the 8th day IS "go home day"...well, whoever gets my house will have a soaping business already set up. I've got all my current batches curing in paper sacks, all marked with the day the soap was made, and the name. They can look in my Soap Notes book to figure out which label to put on them, and they're good to go. *I* won't need it, so.......I figured I'd make it easy on them. :grin:
Gotta get laundry out on the line - it's spitting at us, but not supposed to rain, so out it goes! Then it's School Time - later!
