Luscious Lemon Sugar Scrub for Hands

For the past few months, I have been busy, busy, busy working on new items for my shop. In January, I opened my store on Etsy.com and by February I was almost sold out of inventory! So, I have been surrounded by old furniture, all of it clamoring for a makeover.

In the process of painting, sanding and all that fun, I destroy my hands. My only saving grace is to wash my hands with my lemon scrub throughout the day. Without it, a farmer would have better looking hands and nails than me!

For all of you out there that love to DIY, I thought Id share my recipe. Its easy, inexpensive and your hands will love it.

Heres what you need to gather on up:

1 cup safflower oil (great soothing properties and no scent)
1 cup white sugar (finer sugar makes a smoother scrub for hands)
5-10 drops lemon essential oil (I got mine at a local health food store) to your liking...it smells amazing!!
1 medium sized mason jar

Add oil to sugar

Add essential oil drops and mix

Fill a medium size mason jar with the mixture. This pack of jars I picked up at Wal-Mart
just to have mason jars available
...they have a million uses, are inexpensive and have chic country style!

Now, simply keep beside your kitchen sink and use daily!

SHABBY REDO FOR YOU marilyns project

Please take a moment out of your day to stop into http://shabbyredoforyou.blogspot.com/

Marilyn asked for HELP with a project and I offered some.

She is finally finished and showing off her hard work.

Heres a hint but you must go see for yourself.

Just another MCM

Trying to do a gray thing with this new piece. Only the drawers are finished.

My little feral friend, The Shop Cat, is always there to keep me company.
She was completely enthralled with the sanding process:

I used a homemade chalkpaint to which I added some silver glittery paint additive things.
From Lowes. It makes it look like a quartz countertop in the right lighting.

A pop of pink on the drawers for fun!

Even tho this was chalk paint, for some reason the wax just didnt buff out well. I used

tung oil on the sides and applied 2 coats of acrylic top coat on top for protection.

SPRAY PAINTING A WOODEN CHAIR turquoise wood chair

I wanted to donate this solid little guy to a charity auction event that was coming up,

but the description of eligible bachelors had to have fabric seats.

So he stayed with me.

SWHI - single white

with some hygiene issues

I gave him a good shower, a scrub behind the ears, and worked out some of the rough spots.

I mixed a fun color of turquoise using chalk paint and sprayed him.

There was no creaking or groaning from this guy

because of the metal rods that had been built into the frame work.

The next step to this mini makeover was to sand back some of the paint

layers to expose the thick white enamel paint underneath.

The more I worked at it the more wood I liked showing thru.

Minwax paste finishing wax was used to give him baby soft skin.

My rugged little chair is the perfect addition to my back room,
and thats how you spray paint a wooden chair turquoise.

MY BED IS IMPORTANT bed frame

I was 12 years old the first time I heard there was a problem with my back.

After some x-rays, the doctor told mom and me that I had a defect in my spine and I would not be able
to have a labour intensive job as an adult. Being a child this didnt mean much to me. I was skinny
and fierce, I excelled at all the sports I played, with awards to show for it all.
I was invincible, what did he know.

By the time I was 16 I could feel it and I learned to realize each time I had pushed my back too far.

Over the next few years I learned that a good sleep made things feel much better. This is when my bed became very important to me.

Over the years I always made sure I had a haven to retreat to when the day had been too much.

At the age of 20 I broke my lower back and things progressively got worse.

Thats when my bed started to grow. It was so much easier to slip out of bed straight onto my feet or hop in to bed when it was level with me standing so I started to lift my bed making it taller.
