Homemade Soap




Just a quick post.

I have been busy working on multiple projects these days. Here are two that the kids and I accomplished over break so far. The soap loaf is my first attempt at loaves. It is scented with Bramble Berry Hot Cocoa (YUMMY). I love how my marshmallows melted and gave it a frothy look.
I made Ivory Snowballs with the kids for their classmates this year. I found this idea in Family Fun, which always has great kid crafts!

PTI Bog Hop November 25



Nothing like a Blog Hop to inspire you to blog again after an absence. Anyway, I literally threw this one together although it had been in my thoughts for awhile. I am planning on making soap snowballs with my kids for their classmates. Seeing as snow is rare here in the Sandhills of NC, I thought fake snow would be a fun idea. So yes, please use your imagination to fill the basket with the snowball. We are going to actually start on those tomorrow. I will update this post once we get the entire package complete.


You can't see behind my tag, but there is a SU felt snowflake on the basket to give it some texture. I used some sparkle on the tag with glitter and shimmer paper. I did use PTI Tag Sale 2, but I shortened it to keep it in portion with the basket.
