Special Request Lotion
Recently, during a stocking stuffer class, I whipped up a great room spray
that I used to bribe Dirk. :-) I needed to get him to work on my computer.
This weekend while we were all working over-over time I realized we had no lotion. I mean what kind of a shop are we if we don't have any lotion lying around (mine specifically)? While everyone left to go on a lunch run I got busy making some lotion so I would stop complaining.
Dirk put in a \'special request\' for his own bottle that contained the same tantalizing smell as his room spray. As my creative juices began to flow I saw only one slight problem, the room spray had been made up from a little bit of this and a little bit of that, none of which I had written down anywhere. Oops. Well, so much for special requests.
Anyway to make a long story painless let's just say that when the day was over the shop was well equipped with a variety of fragrant lotion combinations. I thought maybe some of you who are deprived of lotion (like myself) might like to try the Special Request Formula Dirk is hoarding.
