Only in my dreams...

I had another post all planned out for today... but, uh... let's just say the project I had in mind ended up a little messy.  So that will have to wait till tomorrow.  So today we're going to have fun with the Summer Blog Challenge.

What feature does your dream home have to have?

That depends.

If we're talking about right now.  Right this very second, with 3 boys living at home (and the weather too humid to enjoy the outdoor world...) I'd say an awesome playroom.

This playroom, featured at Design Dazzle is perfect.  Cheery colors, windows, LOTS of storage and a puppet theater built in.  In case you didn't know it, Jon and I want to raise a handful of puppeteers.  That way when we're old and senile, they can entertain us.

Brilliant plan, right?

I'm still thinking that my favorite feature is the second level... Gives the kids some of their own space when they need a break from each other.

Okay, so let's say the kids are already grown and gone (*tear*)... If it's truly my dream home, than it already placed somewhere rather isolated, there's already a pond and a barn... well then, I guess that leaves just one thing.

An AMAZING craft studio.

Okay, so this craft studio over at Furnishism doesn't quite fit the bill... But it's pretty close!  However, it needs more color.  So make it turquoise.  We'll accent with red later.  There needs to be a place for a kiln.  Because my epic craft space would include Jon.  And he wants a kiln.

More windows!  I love natural light.

Oh, and if this room could be stocked with everything I want/need to craft, well that would be just fine.

(Did you notice the washer and dryer?  Brilliant!)

So how about you?  What would your dream home include?

While you're thinking about that, don't forget to head over and enter the Sweet Goodness Balm Giveaway!   The giveaway ends tomorrow at Midnight so hurry hurry!

Until next time, Happy Thursday!

Epically Epic! (And a giveaway that's equally awesome!)

I recently had the awesome pleasure of ordering from an amazing Etsian. I do my fair share of Etsy shopping but every so often come across a seller that I have to share with the world.

Epically Epic Soap Co. definitely earned some blog time from me.

I came across Epically Epic Soap very randomly. And I'll admit, I only clicked on her shop because of the name. I was online looking for a gift... Clicking into the Bath and Beauty section was purely accidental. But the name was so enticing that I couldn't bring myself to hit the back button.

10 minutes later, I was checking out of the shop with a few gifts for... well, me. (I still haven't purchased a gift for the person I was supposed to be shopping for. Bad Erin!)

A week later, this glorious little assortment of products arrived in my mailbox.

Am I the only one who has never heard of Lychee scented... anything? I saw this solid "Multi Purpose" lotion in "I Love Lychee" and couldn't resist. Shop owner Allison claims this as a personal favorite and I can see why! It smells incredible. The scent is lightly floral. And thus far I've used it as a hand lotion, a cuticle softener and a fragrance. Multipurpose indeed!

Bullfrog scented lip tint. I was a little worried about that till I read that most of Epically Epic's products are Vegan. It's actually peach, cherry, lemon and gin scented. Not Bullfrog at all... Which was a relief! The tint is subtle and lovely. The scent is enticing. I find myself applying more liberally than necessary just to get a whiff. Yeah, I'm weird.

Ah, Almond Honey Oatmeal Moisturizing Soap. You are the best friend to my winter skin. This is soap is super moisturizing. With 4 skin thirst quenching ingredients, how could it not be? The lather is amazing and yet again, Allison nailed the scent. It's sweet scent is not overpowering and give way to a nice clean fragrance. And the hand crafted appearance makes it perfect for display!

All in all, I am one happy girl. So happy that I have to share with one of you! So I'm giving away one of Epically Epic's AWESOME gift sets.

This gift set will include 3 of Epically Epics delicious and amazing scented lip balms, randomly selected by Allison herself.

Want a chance at it? Leave me a comment telling me what Epic Item you'd gift from Epically Epic Soap.
