Mother's Day Surprises - Crafting

Handcrafted Goody bags

Contents inside each goody bag.

Here are some Happy Mother's Day goody bags that I did.

My nana's goody bag on the left contained one handcrafted plumeria scented soap with one lip balm from Orangethyme. 

My sister's goody bag (center) contained one handcrafted lavender scented soap with a bunch of lips balms from Orangethyme along with a few handcrafted earring sets. 

My grandma's (husband's side) goody bag on the right contained one handcrafted apple scented soap.

I enjoy making handcrafted items for holidays and birthdays.  Simply because they are one-of-a-kind and I can also customize for that person.  I also enjoy seeing their face just light up!  :)

Until my next blog...Happy Crafting!

Fun Little Handmade Bon Bon Soaps

All packaged up and ready to go!

Have I mentioned that I love soaps?? I absolutely enjoy making great smelling soaps and packaging them up nice and pretty for gift giving. I enjoyed making these little bon bon soaps for my friends as gifts and they accepted them with great big smiles.

Scents included were pear berry (green), lavender (light purple), honey almond (peach) and plumeria (white).

Handmade Soaps

Decorated with a thin cut piece of translucent paper, scrap-booking
flower with a colored brad and finished with a handmade label.


Flower and dragonfly imprints were done by laying a flat
decorative rubber stamp to the inside bottom of the mold
facing up and pouring the soap mixture on top.


Who doesn't like a soap that smells absolutely divine? I just love smelling aromatic scented soaps. I especially love making my own because I can make them any scent, color and add my own little special touch to the packaging once they are ready to go to a new home. I like being able to melt, color, scent and pour my soaps. These two soaps were done as a gift for a friend. I made the pearberry lightly colored with green and the lavender is done as a two tone.
