Branching Out

Hi everyone!  I snitched the computer this afternoon while Momma Sharon was hard at work on a new endeavor.  My Story for you today is about her being brave and branching out.  This Story has its beginnings at the recent MD DOG.

Our friend Miss Fran, walked over to our site one afternoon with something she wanted to show Mom.  It was a magazine called "Willow & Sage."  Mom had never seen or heard of this magazine and when she saw that it was about making bath products, soap included, she got down right excited!

Miss Fran said to keep it and take time to look at it.  Well, my Camper Mom didn't just look at it, she POURED over it, looking at all the photos, and reading all the recipes.  It didn't take her very long to pull out a notepad and pencil and start copying recipes.  Not only did she snitch some great-looking soap recipes, she was intrigued by some room sprays.

Now Aunt Becky and Miss Wendy don't sleep very well, so when a recipe called "Calming Sleep Spray" was spotted, it was right then and there that Mom knew she wanted to branch out and try something new.  The ingredients couldn't be simpler:  Witch Hazel, lavender essential oil, and distilled water.  The only thing needed were some small plastic spray bottles to store the magic potion.

After consulting Uncle Rob, Mom ordered two dozen 2-oz. plastic spray bottles from a company (Midwest Bottles) that he uses for his Beach Doggie products.  That box arrived today!

Mom had to snip the sprayer dip tube to fit, but that was no biggie. We are ready to make the recipe, fill the bottles, and let Bec and Wendy be our guinea pigs.  I told you that Mom was working on something this afternoon and that was coming up with a cool name for this new spray and designing the label for it.  We are going to call it "Night Owl Mist" and here's the label we will print for it.

Our "branching out" plans are to sell these along with our soap at campouts and to friends.  Stay tuned for how that pans out.  Thanks for stopping by to hear my Story and until Mom starts production, always remember . . . 

"Peace, Love, & Night Owl Mist"
