Yes, can you believe another one?

I finally finished my SIL birthday present and got it in the mail. I went with the chocolate themed From the Desk Of..but with no calories. I am in love with Bramble & Berry's dark rich Chocolate fragrance!! I made homemade Chocolate Cake bath salts. When my kids saw the mixture in the bowl they thought I was making chocolate cake! It smelled awesome! I also put together the chocolate potpourri sachets and chocolate soap bars (in box). I hope she likes the gift.

From the Desk Of Part 3 & 4..Love this template

As you can see, I am just in love with PTI's Timeless Template From the Desk Of!

The first picture is the gift I made for my Grandmother for her birthday. She turned 94 this month! What can you get someone at that point in her life? I decided since she is in assisted living and doesn't get out much, to send her some Summer. I put a few goodies (Goldfish, Lemonade chapstick, Lemonheads, etc.) together in a summer From the Desk of template.

I am off this weekend to visit a good friend I haven't seen in a couple of years. This is a little something I put together for her. I can't claim the Ju Ju Good Luck charm doll. I found it on eBay...it's part of a standing joke. I had told her at one point we needed to have a voodoo session to drive away the bad luck that has plagued her family for the past couple of years. I think the doll will be great as a part hostess/new home gift. I can claim that I made the bath salts, milk bath tea sachet and three bars of soap. I did use Lauren Meader's Take Time stamp set for my Bath salt label. For the packaging, I put two PTI TT From the Desk together and I found the cupcake box design on ScorPal.com. Of course, the cupcake box has inspired me to try making cupcake soap!

Playing Blog Catch Up

Here is what has been keeping me busy and not updating my blog. Yeah, I am a bad blogger. Anyway, the first project is inspired by Lisa Johnson. I, of course, bought her Just For You stamp set and have made two purchases from Bramble Berry. I have never made soap before and it's fun! Here is my honey oatmeal soap....and of course, PTI's Honey Bees paired with it nicely:)

Below are the teacher cards I made for my son's teacher and TA. They were inspired by Atomicbutterfly.
