As you may have guessed by now I LOVE handbags (among a handful or two of other things!) and the more unique they are the better….especially one-of-a-kind bags!
Check out Becky Oh! and her wonderful, custom handbags in various styles and fabric.
From big bags to small cosmetic bags you are sure to find something to fit your needs in the style and design that will compliment your attire.
(I love anything with brown!)

This weekend is going to be a scorcher here (Washington State) hitting the 90′s by Sunday!
I don’t know about you but when it’s this hot I do NOT like to be in the kitchen slaving over a hot stove making dinner.
Below is an easy low cost taco casserole that hubs and I love. We substitute ground buffalo for the beef and actually eat this dish as a dip with additional tortilla chips as scoops!
Taco Casserole
1 lb. Lean Ground Beef
1 – 16 oz. can Chili Beans in sauce, undrained
1 – 8 oz. can Tomato Sauce
2 Tbls. Taco Sauce or Salsa
2-4 tsp. Chili Powder
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
2 cups Tortilla Chips, coarsely broken
8 Green Onions, chopped
1 Tomato, chopped
1 cup Cheese, grated
Heat oven to 350. In skillet cook beef until brown, drain. Reduce heat to medium and stir in chili beans, tomato sauce, taco sauce, chili powder and garlic powder. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
Place broken tortilla chips in ungreased 1 1/2 qt. casserole dish. Top with beef mixture. Sprinkle with green onions, tomato and cheese.
Bake uncovered 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Arrange additional tortilla chips around edge of casserole dish if desired.
4 servings.
Meat mixture in skillet.

Don’t forget to add sour cream!

Even though it’s mid-June the weather here (Washington state) is just not cooperating (imagine that!) and we have cloudy skies with temps reaching into the mid-60′s.
However….
I am MORE THAN READY to start searching and making summertime food!
For starters you can visit the Kraftfoods website for recipes using Cool Whip!
We are having a mini-family bbq this weekend and I just may make the Strawberry Whipped Sensation.
Now how cool does that look!!??

Quick updates on what we are working on:
Our graphic designers will be working on the new labels for our Island Tropics collection and we hope to have these finalized within a couple of weeks.
In the testing phase are sugar scrubs in our SpaLusion collection. We hope to have the SpaLusion sugar scrubs available by the end of July. All SpaLusion facial masks will also have new rebranded labels.
We are currently working on a men specific collection that includes soap. I would really like to add matching sugar scrubs but am still unsure if men really care enough about their skin to exfoliate! Please comment-Will your guy use a sugar scrub scented in a man-type fragrance???
I’m thinking of adding three new holiday scents to our Season’s Greetings collection. Making a list of sample fragrances to order then will make a decision on which ones to use for testing in our soap.
For our wholesale customers: We are currently half way done in creating a pdf catalog!
Do you realize HALF THE YEAR is gone already!!

I admit it….
I’m a wuss, sap, crybaby, sucker when it comes to animal-type commercials.
Of course my all time favorite commercials are the Budweiser draft horse ones…some of them will even bring tears to my eyes.
Here in Washington state we have a lottery and there is a new commercial in town.
I….LOVE….THIS….COMMERCIAL!
Can I say it again???
I LOVE THIS COMMERCIAL!
Now I have no clue how videos on line work but I am posting a link to my current very most favorite commercial. I have no idea how long this link will be active, valid or otherwise viewable so I appologize in advance if you should come across this post sometime in the future and cannot view the link.
