Gray Hair

As I age I am get a little gray frosting in my hair.   I have decided not to continue covering the gray.   I think dark hair surrounding a wrinkled face is a little too aging due to the stark contrast.  A little gray around the edges looks more realistic.  I refer to my gray hair as:


Fine silver thread woven intricately through my hair making an delicate lace pattern.

3 BIRTH SIBLINGS TOGETHER AS ADULTS.

I hope everyone had a great week.  It was a busy week for us.  As you probably figured out, it is my birthday.  I had two vases of flowers, chicken cookies, and a yarn ball cake.  I also received several cards and gifts.  The best thing of all was to share the day with family and friends.  D was able to meet with 2 of his birth siblings this evening.

Coffee Soap

One of the items on my bucket list was to make a coffee soap.  I used the grounds and an espresso fragrance with a little chocolate cherry.  It does smell lovely, but not too strong.  I hope the fragrance stays with the soap.  My son helped me with the soap and he made the center bar.  (He hogged all of the pink.  LOL)  I think his looks the best.   Not all of the soap is out of the molds.  

I hope you had a wonderful weekend!   Dawnie
