Challenge

Last night, a letter key on my computer broke. Completely broken, it is, but I can't resist a challenge; I must now try to compose an entire blog post without using that letter. It may be problematic, as I keep trying (twice just in the first sentence) to use a certain conjunction that finishes up with this letter. This letter is in my little girl's name - her real one as well as her internet nickname - in my father's name, Pinky's too. Can't type the name of my favorite TV show, nor the name of its star, nor even the vehicle the main character travels in.

However, I can still write about some of my crafts. I can tell you all about the soap, Juno Regina is all right, but I can't call the purple scarf by name. I can write about my favorite music group, but not my favorite song of theirs. (The sun is up, the sky is blue...) My favorite movie character as well as the actor who plays him, both fine, but not the name of the town the character lives in or his best mate. This is fun! (There's a little insult I might throw at myself here, all in fun, if only That Letter wasn't in it.)

So, here's some soap I was able to throw together 24 hours ago. (Hee.)


This is the oatmeal-honey...


...this is the peppermint. After bashing up some starlight mints with a meat mallet, I put them into the soap with one teensy bit of purple coloring (until you get about five teensy bits in there, it's pink rather than purple).

They both smell terrific, though I worry a bit about how the oatmeal as well as the mints sank to the bottom of the things I use to make the soap. I hope it won't make the soap tough to use, having all the stuff there at the top of the bar.

Okay...I think I can't manage this anymore. Thank you for your patience; I shall return after someone repairs this letter for me. Cheers!
