Wisteria Rose

I just love this scent!  Nature's Garden describes this fragrance oil as a truly refreshing, clean aroma with top notes of fresh rose petals, middle notes of wisteria and cyclamen, bottom notes of sandlewood and vanilla.  I named this fragrance Wisteria Rose (more romantic) but Nature's Garden calls it China Rain LOL!







This fragrance oil soaped like a dream with no acceleration and plenty of time to play.

Frosted Pumpkin....Yum!

Fall is my second favorite time of the year (next to summer of coarse)!  I love the cooler sleeping weather, the turning of the leaves, fall flowers, and PUMPKIN PIE!! 

I used Frosted Pumpkin fragrance oil from Nature's Garden.  Out of the bottle it smells amazing and the scent in my soap is awesome!  I hope it doesn't fade after cure....makes my house smell like I'm baking a pumpkin pie! 

And I designed this little Raggedy Ann box to hold the soap.

Blessings,

New Cupcakes and Gift Box

Love to combine my two favorite things to do.....Soaping and scrapping!

Used Anjou Pear Blosooms FO from Nature's Garden.  This is a very light scent of fruits and florals with a touch of bergamot and vanilla.  The adorable little butterfly came from Tiny Little Charms an adorable little shop on Etsy.

My gift box was made using heavy cardboard and adorable digital cupcake images from anothe awesome shop on Etsy called WhimsyDust and they are so cute!





The little tag is Psalms 34:8




Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!

Love My New Mold!


Just got my new mold from Soap Making Resource and couldn't wait to try it out.
 
The fragrance is Cucumbers & Melons from Nature's Garden and it smells amazing!  Hope the scent sticks.  I decided to not gel this soap because the colors are so pretty and creamy looking so I put it in the freezer until tomorrow morning.  Then I will let it thaw out for 24 hours before cutting.

I love that I can see the design through the mold.  This little mold only holds 2 pounds which is perfect when I'm trying out a new recipe or fragrance oil. 

I will post pictures in a few days of the cut bars.

Have a Blessed Day!

Gift Box





Decided to get out my scrapbooking supplies and make a little gift box for my Juniper Breeze Soap.  This soap looks so much like ocean water that I decided to use a beach theme.  


The little beach girl tag is removable and perfect for a little note on the back.


Inside the soap is wrapped and tied with a little bow.  A tag is tucked in the ribbon which has the ingredients and weight printed on the back.


Had so much fun scrapping again!

Have a Blessed Day!
