The Goat's Milk Hand Therapy is great stuff. Another excellent cream for
dry hands and raggy cuticles is Helping Hands from LUSH. I work with books
all day, and it really dries out the hands. My DS gave me the LUSH stuff a
few years ago, and I am now never without it. The only caveat is that it
contains linseed oil and takes a while to absorb, so you have to sit for a
while and let it sink it, but it works wonders.

Great recommendation. I also like the Kiehl's Intensive Hand cream, and
there's a L'Occitane intensive hand cream - which is similar to the Goat's
milk in working really well, and quickly absorbing - but it smells better
;^) Of course, also a bit more pricey.
Of late, I have a tube of Vaseline Intensive Care Ultra Hand therapy in the
stitch caddy - it's pretty good. I'll look for the LUSH.

Sorry I missed Ellice's post - I sure could use the name of Donna's scrub, I
can snag DMC the way my hands are right now....

I firmly believe that this is the reason for extra large zip lock bags!!
Zip it up and put it away and one day you'll get back to it...I promise!

Oh good! Now my seven or nine won't feel so lonely!
Of course, I have three in progress right now - or so I keep telling
myself!
