Yea! It's a white Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone.  We are very lucky here in Saltillo, as we still have electricity.  I know a lot of the people around us don't have any.  I pray they will get it on again very quickly.  I have been in the house all day ordering supplies for our Time to Thyme store.  I am trying to get those bangle skirts so that we can wear them when we work in Canton.  Not for any particular reason.  We just want to wear them.  They are so cute and jangelly. 

The soap has been waiting at T3 for me to go and cut all day, but I couldn't bring myself to leave the house today.  I am going to work tomorrow and make some more soap.  Anyone have any ideas of any flavors of soap you would like me to work on?  Any particular colors or designs?  I really like making two tone soaps by putting curls or small blocks of colors inside the mold, then pouring colored and flavored melted soap on top to harden.

I have been experimenting with different essential oils, colors and fragrances.  I make some for men, women, and have even made some for kids with little gingerbread toys inside! So much fun.  It sure does make a mess, though.  My favorite thing in the world to do is spend the day with my sister and work on making medicines, soaps, sprays, etc.
Our Aroma Sprays are for you, your space, your environment and all around you.  I carry a bottle in my car, put one in each room of the house, and set one by my chair so I can spray anytime I want an uplifiting or calming scent.  I can't wait for you all to visit our store in Canton on Canton weekend to experience some of our products for yourselves.

Crazy, Crazy months

Hi everyone,

Things have been so crazy the last few months with the opening of our new store, our distribution center and our website.  It is amazing to think how far we have come in just 8 months.  Having the Time to Thyme business has been a lifelong dream of ours.  I love herbs, essential oils and everything you can do with them.  I do have to admit, I have a new love in my life.....Soapmaking.  I am crazy for making soaps.  Yesterday I went to T3 to cuts some loaves of soap up that I had made the day before with Chele.  That soap was our "Angel Wings" soap (see above photo).  While I was there, I got an idea, and before I knew it pots and pans were flying everywhere and I had made a huge loaf of "Rain Forest" soap.  I love the smells, textures, and craziness involved in soapmaking.  It is a fun process and very time limited and it is just run, run, run for two hours until it is all ready.

We have opened our store in Canton, Tx on the "Mountain".  We love our store. We have been so busy making products to sell in our store and on our website.  Our newest love is Aroma Sprays.  These bottles of spray are so powerful in many ways.  We use essential oils and fragrances to help with energy, purification, stress, sleep, headaches and the uses for them are limitless.  We have "Angel Wings", "Monkey Farts", "Energizer", "Sensual Man", "Sensual Woman", "Purification", and many, many more. We are Certified Aroma Specialists and working with essential oils, fragrances and clinical grade essential oils is so gratifying to our souls.  I hope you get to come by and just spray some of our testers and you will see what I mean.

This is some of what we made last weekend at T3. I love working at T3 with Lin and Chele.  My life has been so blessed.  I get to do what I love to do while helping other people get what they need.  Can it get any better??? YES it CAN.  My girls are doing superb in their lives as well.  My youngest daughter, Colleen Hoover, just published her 3rd book on Amazon, "Hopeless".  It is currently #4 in books on Amazon.  WOW.  Her first two books, Slammed and Point of Retreat were NYT Bestsellers and it looks like this one is on the way. She is very, very happy and thinking about her next book.

My oldest daughter, Lin Reynolds, called me today on her way to San Jose and Costa Rica to do a Volcano tour, Zip Lining, White water rafting, tons of excursions and Lazy days on the beach.  She is taking a 2 week vacation and having the time of her life with her husband.  She teaches at a College and is happier with this career choice and her life than she has ever been.

Who says praying doesn't work?????  I love my life and it is a joy to live it.  I put all my love into each and every product I make, and it is worth it when I get such great feedback from customers.  Thanks to all of you who have supported our efforts.  And if you ever need us to make something for you and your particular needs....just let us know, we will get out the books and work on it!  Have a very Merry Christmas, so something special for someone else, and then for yourself. Do Yoga.
