Lol! Yes... I've already been chastised for wanting to eat Fluffy from a few of my friends. I thank you very much for the info! We've got a lot to process before we take the final leap! Some are saying we will need a whole building, while some are saying just cover the top and one side. We...

Thank you so very much! We just want to be as prepared as possible when we do this, and it probably won't be until spring that we get started into this venture. We were planning on getting the Storeys book on rabbits, we have several of their other books as well.

So, hubs and I are thinking of making our journey into meat rabbits. I want to do American Chinchillas because they're some of the better meat rabbits (or so we've read) and they're an endangered American breed. So... we found a place that sells pedigreed rabbits $125 for a trio. Not that we...

Ihanks! I'm really excited to get started! I can't wait to add the clay mask to the store!

Don't they sell things to test the soap to make sure its not lye heavy?I know about the calculators and such. What about hot process vrs cold process? Can you use the same recipes or do you need to have hot process specific recipes? (Forgive any spelling erros please... I'm usin my phone today...

So, I want to start making soap and cly masks to add to our candle company.... but I've never made soap before. From what all of you guys say, its a fairly straight forward process and seems tobe fairly easy, even if some of the recipes are complex. So,I got a couple books from the libraryand...

Wooohooo! I'm so glad that this topic is picking up!

We were going to buy a house in Roxboro a while back. Nice little 1901 house on 9 acres. It turned out that it needed WAY too much work and it was way way WAY out of our DIY league. DH is now going to go to school at ECU for electrical engineering. That should be about 2 years and we will be...

My parents will be here, so we're having turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, deviled eggs, Parker House rolls, and some sort of pie. (Monk wants pumpkin... he's obsessed.. LOL) Unfortunately, none of that will be from Ivy Hill... maybe next year! ;-)

:celebrate Hubs says that he wants to start growing his hair out again. After 8.5 years of Marine Corps hair cuts, he wants to have longer hair again. He's going to grow it out for a little bit longer, then get a haircut to even it out, and then just start growing it. I'm hoping that his Native...

Yay!! I added myself as well!! I think I might have actually done it twice.. LOL

I'm in the SE corner of NC.. We really like it down here, even tho there really is a "clash of the titans" as far as culture. We have the Marine Corps base Camp LeJeune, which brings people from all over the world (its not uncommon to see the British or Australian Army here), and then you have...

I can say that I am IN LOVE with this!! DH was commenting the other day about how shiny it was! I got some coconut oil yesterday and put it on last night before I went to bed. I'm going to wash it out before church. I can't WAIT to see the results. :D

We bought our yeast at Sams club. It was 2 GIANT packs for like $5 I think it was. We've had it for like 2 years now! I'm going to have to get another giant pack here before too long tho.

Oh fantastic!!! I'll go there in the next couple days and see what I can find! Hopefully they're not going to break the bank... yikes!

haha!! I thought about that too... I think with the recipe that Marianne posted there would DEF be enough for ALL the teachers! Now comes the part where I have to find something to PUT the mix in!! I was thinking about getting nice glass containers at Michaels or something... but... then we...

Oh man.... they all look so good!! How am I ever going to decide which one to make for the kids teachers?! LOL I'm not sure if I want to make hot cocoa for the male teachers and either bath salts or sugar scrub for the females... or if I should just make hot chocolate for all of them! What do...

I told hubs I was going to start making bread again and that I wanted to get a couple bags of bread flour when we went to the store. He looked at me like I had sprouted a 3rd eye in the center of my forehead. I then said "It's less expensive to buy a bag of bread flour for $3 (which I don't know...

We have a 1999 Champion doublewide. It's on a permanent foundation. We bought it used 3 years ago so I can't tell you how well maintained it was before we bought it. It's tough to keep it cool in the summer, and heated in the winter. It still has "trailer" windows, but I don't know that we want...

Thank you!! What is chocolate drink mix? Like Ovaltine?
