I did not realize how long it has been since I have signed into my blog! School has defiantly kept me pretty busy, especially all the essay I have had to write and finally working on my last on. It is a research paper on Animal Cruelty and has to be 5-6 pages long and hopefully I will have the rough draft done by tuesday afternoon.<br />
<br />
I still have not gotten around to making my batch of soap, but hopefully I will get around to it before the end of Summer approaches.<br />

Very shortly after (like 10 min later) we had the 2nd puppy which was also a female but, black and brown colored. Then , after puppy number 2 was born we had to wait two hours on baby number 3, which, by the way, was a black male who was born around 9pm. Then the wait was on for what we thought would be baby #4. The next day I took Mia to the vet, as we had seen a sac of what we thought was puppy #4 but it just kept going back inside. When we arrived at the vet they gave her an Oxytocin injection to restart contractions. Once the Oxytocin did not work they were to perform a c-section. Upon c-section, about an hour later, I received a call from the doctor about his findings. He stated that there were no extra puppies but she did in fact have some type of blisters/plagues/growths ll over her uterus and suggested that it be removed immediately. Upon picking Mia up at the vet, her doctor came out, with her uterus in his hand contained in a plastic bag, to show me the unusual blisters/growths/plagues that he had found. He then said the best way he could describe how it looked upon examination after removal was like mold---and in fact it did. However, he stated he had seen nothing like it before and said if nothing else that it WAS GODS will for me to of brought her in for a c-section or else it could of been life threatening later on down the road for her.</div>Now, here are some pictures of the precious puppies that were born on the anniversary of my Sweet Angel Bambina's death.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAbiq-zvm42j0_5z7FL-Dg2zpd4cHF8oIF78Emd_LKhGdZ7R7dinWfJ5MtoKIVMhBlHzoNf2mdprdrYHbZCqy0sb7XuCE-qolKSoaJIjOEz5g1AKeqbutl0S1509vS3IJ_ZCPswIDMfvD6/s1600/DSC_0853.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAbiq-zvm42j0_5z7FL-Dg2zpd4cHF8oIF78Emd_LKhGdZ7R7dinWfJ5MtoKIVMhBlHzoNf2mdprdrYHbZCqy0sb7XuCE-qolKSoaJIjOEz5g1AKeqbutl0S1509vS3IJ_ZCPswIDMfvD6/s200/DSC_0853.JPG" width="133" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpuw60PxM5OoG5N7oTTE7JbsZA4OSXfqGKYVH80dDevawTywNMVo30zTb_3YGtA25chGqK39V4ASfOZ0JnSaeor3BBIF9gw1jJYs-2AJjiGW1B-ntQ3_ELaRlbSSur_oIAqyBIXzRvaQJI/s1600/DSC_0867.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpuw60PxM5OoG5N7oTTE7JbsZA4OSXfqGKYVH80dDevawTywNMVo30zTb_3YGtA25chGqK39V4ASfOZ0JnSaeor3BBIF9gw1jJYs-2AJjiGW1B-ntQ3_ELaRlbSSur_oIAqyBIXzRvaQJI/s200/DSC_0867.JPG" width="133" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWW8dvDYfs-wqt0Jo8FbwlLufXG7Tob4OtGzHWW1qXuo39IqQP7ex_HvQHPBVZFiZ2mS9tYApGr4Vt8O7x58f1lqGpNlbM8c9PL-ivb7ZfM8_8p5LEDaa5KHJr5fskP7fIdStdYnyfm34t/s1600/DSC_0871.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWW8dvDYfs-wqt0Jo8FbwlLufXG7Tob4OtGzHWW1qXuo39IqQP7ex_HvQHPBVZFiZ2mS9tYApGr4Vt8O7x58f1lqGpNlbM8c9PL-ivb7ZfM8_8p5LEDaa5KHJr5fskP7fIdStdYnyfm34t/s200/DSC_0871.JPG" width="133" /></a></div><br />

Once she went out of heat we were a little disappointed because we had thought none of the 3 boys had gotten to her----well needless to say WE WAS WRONG! On Sunday (1-16-011) night we noticed she started to act lazy and sick--not her usual wild,crazy, destructive self. As I picked her up Mike seen her belly and said she looked pregnant because her belly was fat, and her nipples were enlarged. So the next morning I called the vet to verify with an ultrasound and it has been confirmed that she is prego with 4 babies, possibly a 5th and hopefully she dont have any extra ones hiding behind the others. The vet expects her to go into labor within a week and a half. It has now been a week and we are still waiting on the litter to be born. I am excited and cant wait! Here are a few pictures of her being lazy--I would of posted the ultrasound pics and video but my vet is having a hard time getting them on a cd---so that might not happen, but if it does, I will definatley post them.Lulubellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16632634101823590700noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576013940991214856.post-46709746849653862222011-01-15T01:15:00.001-05:002011-01-15T01:16:23.324-05:00UPDATE<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHPaXvAmq8iIkfw6KPRGcLbPufSG3QdeIrxuPtaah30xS0TL-tSM-uFGw5eOvU2c5rThELevRgLM3l5lufISXMceyTKns0ZxfmTKynnzqsBxMuTVKg7h3x5T0UcJUPTRaCi76DnXTnCxtE/s1600/101_1482.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="137" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHPaXvAmq8iIkfw6KPRGcLbPufSG3QdeIrxuPtaah30xS0TL-tSM-uFGw5eOvU2c5rThELevRgLM3l5lufISXMceyTKns0ZxfmTKynnzqsBxMuTVKg7h3x5T0UcJUPTRaCi76DnXTnCxtE/s200/101_1482.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br />

However, I will definitely continue to post at least once a month. By the way, here are some pictures of my front yard after the snow storm that hit this past week.Lulubellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16632634101823590700noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576013940991214856.post-69007000558036045152010-12-22T02:11:00.000-05:002010-12-22T02:11:40.417-05:00Watermelons!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXAfdRTHzxez2nRVqdzOSi42pwaKrgySe204J0Sj4ha95_Jxo_mKJEpRy17a58C-m5eypOV4iYMb-CPwKTTXu5rKLRpgCvrWm4_xFVnbRABShYzEUKNrfhDcZpStPNAh3qNkYFh4UXPt4b/s1600/DSC_0582.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXAfdRTHzxez2nRVqdzOSi42pwaKrgySe204J0Sj4ha95_Jxo_mKJEpRy17a58C-m5eypOV4iYMb-CPwKTTXu5rKLRpgCvrWm4_xFVnbRABShYzEUKNrfhDcZpStPNAh3qNkYFh4UXPt4b/s200/DSC_0582.JPG" width="200" /></a><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Thanks to Gina over at <a href="http://ginasgorillaspeak.blogspot.com/">http://ginasgorillaspeak.blogspot.com</a>, has given me the Stylish Blogger Award!</div><div style="text-align: justify;">As part of this award I have to list 8 things about myself and pass it on to 8 other bloggers. So here it goes!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">1</span>. I LOVE animals especially my chihuahua babies, my one pit bull and goats :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">2</span>. I LOVE my family --- to the extent that I can be your best friend or your worst enemy---lol ;)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">3</span>. I LOVE the color red, it is my all time favorite followed by blue and green.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">4</span>. I am very straight forward or "BLUNT" as my <a href="http://dalestreasuredmoments.blogspot.com/">mom</a> would say.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">5</span>. I spend way too much time online. This includes sites such as facebook, ebay, blogger, my email sites, pogo(my id is bambina2005 if any other play games there), youtube and more!<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">6</span>. I love to take pictures. I recently bought a new Nikon D3000 SLR camera and love it just havent gotten around to taking alot of shots with it yet. Still playing around with it and figuring out how to use it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">7</span>. I dont always finish things I start. Probably a lack of motivation, as I tend to get bored easily.<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">8</span>. Last but not least I LOVE crafting!!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So now its time for me to pass this award on to 8 other bloggers but since I am new to blogging and have not visited many sites and have very few followers right now I will have to nominate the 5 bloggers I do follow and most will probably a repeat for the award but here it goes:</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1. <a href="http://ginasgorillaspeak.blogspot.com/">Gina</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. <a href="http://dalestreasuredmoments.blogspot.com/">Dale</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">3. <a href="http://brenscraps.blogspot.com/">Brenda</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">4.

It is pretty much made from the same stuff as my bath bombs except I have added a good bit of soap to the mixture which makes it foam. I will try to get a picture of one in action later...but these were a pain in the butt to make because these require you to check every 30 mins as they swell up like marsh mellows in a microwave and you have to continue to press them down.</div>Lulubellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16632634101823590700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576013940991214856.post-73443178066221622062010-12-02T12:41:00.000-05:002010-12-02T12:41:24.366-05:00TWO OF MY BABIES NAPPING<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb66TfnWCkjVO6beHcb9b5ARUwqn8uP0wI7tkJ_URNPynXF-Y7dbOSKi_mWmd0T0DgKKSLuB3_15i2RXnD3LBxnDFDW87Ao2VHQvvy7D4laKkebUVwdA_iW3ObcfEAkcLiNA2PaoI8qERP/s1600/DSC_0799.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb66TfnWCkjVO6beHcb9b5ARUwqn8uP0wI7tkJ_URNPynXF-Y7dbOSKi_mWmd0T0DgKKSLuB3_15i2RXnD3LBxnDFDW87Ao2VHQvvy7D4laKkebUVwdA_iW3ObcfEAkcLiNA2PaoI8qERP/s320/DSC_0799.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

It runs a little down the sides and because your frosting has water added to it it will make your bath bomb bubble up a little. You can always scrape the extra frosting off but the side of your bath bomb will look all funky like mine. However, I think mine bubbled up a little more than normal because my hands were a little damp from washing some of the frosting off before adding to my bath bombs. For the toppings on these I just used some bath caviar that I had (some crushed and some whole). Will probably be posting my homemade lip balm in the next post.Lulubellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16632634101823590700noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576013940991214856.post-78451091095088225292010-11-27T19:59:00.004-05:002010-12-03T07:32:59.284-05:00Bath Bomb ReceipeFor base of the bath bomb you will need<br />
3/4 cup baking soda<br />
1/2 cup citric acid<br />
1/4 cup epsom salt (is optional)<br />
2-4 teaspoons of your selected oil (jojoba, sweet almond, grape seed oil, etc)..i used sweet almond oil and vitamin E.<br />
1-2 teaspoons of your selected fragrance oil (make sure it is ok to use on skin) i used chocolate covered strawberries fragrance oil<br />
3-13 drops of your selected soap colorant--wilton icing gel colorant works fine (do not use food coloring or you will end up with a colored tub make sure to use soap coloring)<br />
1/2 teaspoon water <br />
witch hazel in a spay bottle<br />
<br />

Then in a separate small bowl mix together your oil,fragrance,water and colorant. (the colorant may not mix in with the oils but will once you add it to your powdered mixture). Next pour your oil/colorant/fragrance mixture into the baking soda mixture and start whisking it asap. You will need to wisk mixture until you can take a clump in your hand and sqeeze it together and it hold its shape. If you need to add a little moisture to get the right consistency spay 3 time with the witch hazel. (in my case I didn't even need the witch hazel). Once you have the mixture moist enough to hold its shape you are ready to line your cupcake pan with liners and pack them with the mixture.( make sure to press mixture down into mold as hard as you can till you get to the top, once at top make sure to mold with your hand the rounded out top of the cupcake) Then set aside to dry and start making your frosting. This recipe yeilds about 2 regular sized cupcake bombs.<br />
<br />
<br />
For Cup Cake Frosting You Will Need: <br />
1 tsp. cream of tartar<br />
2 tsp. meringue powder<br />
your choice of soap colorant (in my case i just used 2 tsp cocoa powder)<br />
1-2 tsp fragrance oil (optional-i used vanilla) <br />
1-3 tsp water (you may need more or less depending on consistency you want to work with)<br />
1/4 cup powdered sugar (you may need more or less depending on consistency you want to work with)<br />
<br />
<br />
In a bowl start out by first mixing the cream of tartar,meringue powder, 1tsp water together until it forms a paste (add more water if needed to achieve your paste). Once you have your paste add in your powdered sugar, fragrance and soap colorant and mix together until you get an icing like consistency (add water/powdered sugar until its how you want it).<br />
<br />
Now slowly and gently remove your base of the bath bombs from the cupcake pans, ice them and add toppings of your choice. I used a simple heart candy to top mine. Let them set for 12-24hrs before packaging and/or using them.<br />
<br />
Tip: Use cake tips to add icing to cupcakes--makes it alot easier :)<br />
Tip 2: if using glitter make sure you use cosmetic glitter onlyLulubellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16632634101823590700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576013940991214856.post-42491128019846896532010-11-27T02:43:00.002-05:002010-11-27T03:26:49.495-05:00Yummy Bath Bomb<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Here is a chocolate covered strawberry scented bath bomb I made tonight. It is 100% all natural handmade by me. For the base I used baking soda, citric acid, epsom salt, pink gel food coloring, sweet almond oil, vitamin E gel caps, and chocolate covered strawberries fragrance. Then for the icing I used cream of tartar, cocoa powder, vanilla flavoring for scent, a little warm water, meringue powder and a candy piece to top it off! It smells good enough to eat!<br />

Started out by rubbing it down with kosher salt and soaking it 12 hours in water. Then before getting started the next morning I rinsed off the brine mixture stuffed it with carrots, celery,onions, one sprig of thyme,some chopped bay leaf and then basted it with little white wine and butter. I then poured the remainder of the white wine in the bottom of the pan around the extra veggies. It was mmmm mmmm good!!!!<br />
