A Card and Soap!


This card was actually made by my six year old son last week while recovering from getting whacked in the face with a softball...we had to keep all physical activity to a minimum-like that is at all possible-so we took out some PTI goodies and he put this little gem together. He then wrote a sweet note to all the members of our local congregation who had been showering him with sweets and balloons.









Speaking of showering, after seeing a post on Lisa Johnson's blog, (http://www.poppypaperie.typepad.com), about the ease of soap-making, I decided to give it a try. These are really simple melt-and-pour soaps, using supplies from my local Micheal's store (clear and olive oil soap, fragrances, molds and lavender buds). I did put in an order to www.brambleberry.com which is scheduled to arrive on Monday...definitely check out their website and the Soap Queen's blog. Lots of video tutorials there...these soaps were the easiest things ever to make...I think they have the potential to make fantastic hostess gifts. Just wrap them all pretty using Lisa's new PTI set, Just for You.

  1. Your son made that card? NO WAY! He's a natural Mariah! I love his felt flower and the LO of the sentiment.
    Your ice cream soaps are too adorable, and you are right; they would make perfect hostess gifts!
