Crafting..


We just cut the soap into bars and now I'm packing them...the best part..wrapping them with parchment paper and fancy ribbons!!!






Well the days are flying by with our sweet daughter. hat making, thrift shopping, Walmart shopping, pizza eating at Costco and yesterday soap making! We gathered up all the ingredients and the main soap maker of this concoction got her protective gear on and yummy soap was made...lavender with lavender added from my flower garden..and rosemary soap with real rosemary also from the garden..it smells heavenly here! It wasn't cheap making it, but we figured when all the bars are cut the price per bar is $1.46..not too bad. We'll cut them into bars today then you have to cure them 4 to 6 weeks..I hope I can wait!! Speaking of beauty, Kimbers and I did a sugar scrub...the best scrub ever, our faces are super soft and kissable! All you need is a lemon and table sugar and cotton balls..dip the cotton ball in the fresh squeezed lemon and the sugar and all the wrinkles are...poof GONE!!!

This is DH, you've made the house smell wonderful. I am a little worried when you asked me to get you a batch of lye. This is potent and caustic chemical. I still have a hard time thinking that it is part of the final product. It's amazing product and I'm so very proud of them.
Blessings to all

I've always wanted to make my own soap but it just seems so daunting.

Is this something you might be selling one day?

If your scrub gets rid of wrinkles I'll be making it up tonight! :P
