Surprise Blog Meme

The first 5 people who respond to this post will get something made by me: it will be my choice, but will, hopefully, be something you can use or enjoy for its aesthetic merits. In all likelihood, it'll be something I would sell at Etsy (if I ever get my site up). This offer does have some restrictions & limitations...

*I make no guarantees that you will like it...but I hope you do!
*You will receive this item before the end of the year...or sooner.
*You will have no idea what the item will be, or when you will receive it.
*To participate, you must re-post this meme on your blog and put together something to be sent out as 5 surprises of your own. These surprises can be anything....a piece of art, a photo, a poem...whatever you choose.

In the Mold Tonight

This is CP soap, using my Beneath the Stars scraps. I cut some out into little circles, which I embedded into the top. The rest of the scraps are chopped up confetti style and are embedd into the loaf. I added a little Garden Mint to the batch to give it a little extra scent.
I'll post cut bar pics probably on Sunday.....

Scrap Soap

Beneath the Stars CP soap with Apricot Freesia scraps. My first scrap soap! LOL!

Groovy Dudes & Bitty Bars

Cold process soap....The cute purple guys (Got the Mold from Milky Way Molds) are my Groovy Dudes, and then there are a few Bitty Bars that I will use for samples.....The scent is Apricot Freesia from WSP. I adore this scent! It is SO fresh and clean and lightly fruity. Very yummy!

Berry Merlot CP Soap

I had a lot of fun making this soap. I used upped some leftover blackberry merlot wine that I had and colored it with red liquid dye. Apparently too much red dye because it makes pink bubbles and leaves pink marks on my washcloth. *Bummer & frowny face* I've GOT to get a handle on this coloring thing!How to get great color with no zany bubbles and streaks!

Grasshopper Pie MP Soap

These were made with Goat's Milk MP base, colored with liquid green dye and scented with Garden Mint FO from WSP. The "chocolate" embeds and curls are CP soap made with cocoa.

Ruby Slippers

OK, so it's not soap, but I wanted to show you the Ruby Slippers I made last summer.

I have always loved The Wizard of Oz, but mostly I have always longed for a pair of Ruby Slippers. Oh, how I love those shoes!
I've seen slippers in various shoe stores for little girls, but never for grown women, and that is disappointing. And Converse makes a pair of red glittery sneakers, but sheesh, are they expensive! And when my birthday rolled around, they were out of stock!

So, here they are....my very own, handmade Ruby Reds! I used a pair of canvas shoes, red acrylic paint, glitter, glue and ribbon!
