i make an iced wintermint soap, its rather refreshing! i use peppermint oil, and sometimes embed a leaf of mint into the top layer
i am not a fan of mint when cooking so only grow a wee bit, so it depends if i have it or not

i also do a lemon/orange or lime
i use dried & crushed rind on the top to act as an exfoliator

Thanks Midnight they all sound amazing, now to decide which to try as i have some soap base in my cupboard that's calling my name :rotfl::rotfl: x

not much really but i have made some cushions for my friends girls and my niece to go with thier other bits as they liked the ones i made my girls, nothing flashy but i got cushions cheap from poundland and the fabric from ebay ive made 4 so far and it has cost me less than £10 so i am pleased with that

my OH says we dont have scatter cushions
we have "strategically placed cushions":rotfl:

(((((((OCD oddness)))))))

midnight - love how you've wrapped your soaps.....:T

ginger - some super ideas there............could use that method of wrapping for practically anything I suppose.

esmer = thanks....no cream in the fudge (sigh of relief)

Not done much today exept finish off the rest of the boxes for my fudge kebabs and make a wedding card for neighbour who got married today -I'd almost forgotten ! Then had phone call from a lad we used to look after who now lives in scotland. I was telling him what I'd been doing for christmas pressies to keep the cost down and he asked me to make a button necklace for his girlfriend :eek: Not sure I can face doing another after all the hiccups I had with the last one..............lol Think I'll have to pick the day when I'm in the right mood to have another go.

Cushions ..............aaahhhh........my weakness.......I love them, OH can't understand why we have to have so many...............lol:rotfl:

I have been a busy wee bee............

Bath bombs - Lemon and orange ones I made a cupcake shape, if it actually turns out when I take it out tomorrow I will post up.
Fudge - The one I posted peanut butter, but I put in the nutella, and its setting in the fridge just now, but the scrapings in the bowl tasted AMAZING

I made my boxes tonight for my chocolates, they are all lined up drying. Thats me off for a cup of T and off to bed nightnight all.





my cupcake bathbombs........... not sure how they will look when popped out

esmer

I made Bathbomb Cupcakes. They turned out not too bad.

Boxes look great :j

I have that template and was thinking of making some. Did you print on paper and then stick to coloured card to get the coloured inside?

esmer

I printed it onto card, then I glued on coloured paper. the turned out nice.

I print them onto A4 - don't have the facility to go bigger.

Can't help with the flowers I'm afraid.
