Sweet Smelling Soap

July 25, 2008 By Spoonful of Sugar - 47 Comments

During the school holidays, I made some soap after seeing the ones made by Day to Day. It was a simple recipe and smells really nice. After making it, I let it harden for a few days. Today I wrapped it up with tissue and some ribbon. I finished it off with a sticker I made. This is what they look like:

I would also like to thank Christy for giving my Mum and I an award this week. Check out the notice board pins she has made today!

    Your previous post made me smile. What a lot of wonderful places to go and check out, not to mention all the goodies. I have the cross stitch kit. Must get some of it done. The book cover you made certainly gives the work book a lift adn gorgeous soaps. Thanks for the tips on the pencil roll.
