Yes, I've been stirring the pot again. The pot of melt and pour soap that is! This is a sampling of what has been added to the Christmas box....

Oh such pretty packaging. Soap making is one of those things I've always wanted to try, but suspect I don't have the patience for. I wonder... is melt and pour made for the likes of people like me?
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend melt and pour! It's so easy and you don't have to handle that awful lye.
DeleteI wonder if you'd do pix sometime when you're making soap?
DeleteThank you - good idea! I'll do that, perhaps for my next post.
DeleteYour Christmas box is beginning to fill up with a lot of hand crafted gifts! WTG!
ReplyDeleteAt the moment I'm starting to wrap some of it with the goal being to mail the gifts out to our family out west by the end of the second week of November. Fingers crossed I get everything done by then!
DeleteSoap is good. Will you be packing it with washcloths? I seem to remember you like that combo, tied with ribbon?
ReplyDeleteI have done washcloths in the past but have run out of time this year. They're getting hand knitted mittens instead. The soap is just a fun extra.
DeleteI have a Christmas bag to add gifts. The vinyl bag link might be useful - they will mail fairly flat.
ReplyDeleteI had some vinyl at one point but I'm pretty sure I've either used it or passed it on. Of course now I wish I had it!
DeleteI love the bird wrapping.
ReplyDeleteI did something that's really hard (at least for me!) and harvested a book to get the paper and then just added a rubber stamped image on top. A little bit of jute twine and called it done!
DeleteYou have been busy! Lovely packaging and I wish we could smell them..... I bet they are delicious! Christine xx
ReplyDeleteYes, too bad computers didn't have smell-o-vision!
DeleteI've started my Christmas pile but nowhere near as far along and nothing wrapped. Those are so beautifully wrapped.
ReplyDeleteI have a target of two weeks from now to mail the parcel that's going to our family out west so that's why things are getting done. Not sure what I'm going to do with myself come the first of December when it's completely out of my hands.
DeleteThose soaps make great gifts!! Bet any one who gets one is really happy.

I hope they like them - sometimes I don't hear any comments so I wonder.
DeleteYour soaps sound delicious and they are wrapped very beautifully. I will take constructive criticism and keep trying my best.
ReplyDeleteWell, I do hope they don't taste delicious too (hee hee!). Sorry, I simply couldn't resist.
