Buttercream Frosting Lip Balm – Homemade Lip Balm – Beeswax Lip Balm – Coconut Oil Lip Balm – Lip Butter – Lip Balm Tube – Avocado Oil
This listing is for one (1) single twist-up tube of Buttercream Frosting Lip Balm – Homemade Lip Balm – Beeswax Lip Balm – Coconut Oil Lip Balm – Lip Butter – Lip Balm Tube – Avocado Oil. The net weight of each lip balm is 0.25 ounces.
+ Does cold weather have your lips feeling down or are they generally in need of some extra love? Either way, you’ll love this Buttercream Frosting Lip Balm – Homemade Lip Balm – Beeswax Lip Balm – Coconut Oil Lip Balm – Lip Butter – Lip Balm Tube – Avocado Oil!
+ You can pamper yourself or even someone else. These nourishing lip balms would make an awesome gift!
+ No color has been added.
+ They’re flavored with decadent Buttercream. The flavoring oil used is unsweetened, so this lip balm unfortunately won’t taste exactly like a cupcake. It’s subtle, leaving just enough flavor to leave you craving one (or many). Might I add that it also smells edible, but is not. Don’t eat the lip balm!
+ They are not vegan as they do contain beeswax. Other than that, they contain nothing except lip-loving oils!
+ All of my lip balms are handmade in small quality-controlled batches.

Great Gifts To Give List 42
Good Morning,
Tuesday’s are usually devoted to five items from around the web that would make great gifts.
Today, I want to share another type of gift, something you can give to help another in their time of need. There are lots of worthy charities, causes and other local groups and organizations in your area that are happy to take a donation.
ASPCA
You can make a monetary donation on line (just 60 cents a day can help a dog or cat) or perhaps visit or call your local shelter and ask if there is anything they may need, Pet Food, blankets, toys, perhaps a small monetary donation for things like medicines. Let’s not forget those less fortunate this year.

This site is geared towards kids, not everyone has a coat to keep them warm, especially children as they grow out of them so fast. The link will take you to the site map, where, if you wish, you may type in your zip code to find a place to make your own coat donation. Warm your heart by warming up a child with a coat this year.
Toys For Tots

From the site link you can make a monetary donation, ask for a toy for a child, or find / host a Toy Drive.
American Red Cross
There are many ways to assist, the link will take you to their “Ways To Help” page and find out how to:
Donate
Fund-raise
Talk / Teach / Host a Class
Volunteer
Get involved with a local group organization.
Every little bit helps.
This last one you’ll have to do on your own. Every once in a while lists are printed, published or put out somewhere for Seniors in Need, this could be anything from a bottle of lotion, to a warm blanket or any small item that may be beyond a Senior’s means. I encourage you to look though your local papers, open the phone book and find a hospice or other Senior Care facility, give them a call, make a note, then choose a Senior or several and purchase those small items that may be needed. It will make you feel good, and you will be giving the Senior a gift of more than just lotion.
Thank you for stopping in and having a look.
The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant day.

pink breast cancer awareness crochet scarf
I created this pink crochet breast cancer awareness scarf from a pattern by Timaryart on Craftsy.com. Crocheted in a single crochet with the ribbon made with popcorn stitches in pretty pink Canon Simply Soft %100 acrylic yarn. I finished the edge of the scarf with single crochets and so the total measurement is 4 1/2″ wide by 56 1/2″ long. In honor of my oldest sister who lost her battle with breast cancer at the age of 50, and another sister who is winning her battle against breast cancer, $8.00 from the sale of this scarf will be donated to the American Cancer Society.

Fall art, Original oak leaf art, Fall decor, Canvas leaf painting, Leaf collage, Leaves, Fall collage, Mini art, Autumn art, Acorn collage
This original canvas oak leaf collage will add a bit of warmth to your home for fall, hanging on a wall or sitting on a shelf. I created this one of a kind piece by painting the leaf with professional grade acrylic paint on watercolor paper and adhering it onto a 4 x 4″ gallery wrap canvas which I have painted with rich warm shades of reddish orange and brown. The sides are painted so no framing is necessary. I then sealed it with acrylic sealer. It’s unique because I left the edges of the leaf slightly raised off of the canvas adding interest and creating depth. The last photo above shows coordinating acorn and leaf collages (not included) which also lift away from the canvas. These collages are also available for sale in my shop. Click the links below to view up close.
