Well, I found my planner yesterday - just in time to see that it was Mom's birthday. Sheesh, the trials of getting old. I made some more Neapolitan candles yesterday and some more Soapie Pops. I also poured a couple of small sugar cone pillars that I melted down from the Advent candles. I really need to get into my craft room and get some quilting done. It's such a clutter in there that I've been avoiding it. I guess I'm going to have to take 15 minutes a day and inch my way in there. I need to move a knitting machine stand downstairs, but that also needs to be decluttered in order for there to be room. Junk expands to fit the space allotted plus one extra room. But I'm getting there slowly but surely.

**************Mid morning update
Made a batch of candles, 2 batches of room spray, lunch is in the warmer, soapie pops bagged, molds lined for a batch of CP soap.

Word of the day:
Tuesday of the First week of Lent
Today the Church celebrates : St. Polycarp, Bishop and Martyr (+ 167)
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 6:7-15.

In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him. This is how you are to pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and do not subject us to the final test, but deliver us from the evil one. If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.
