I tried Tasha's Vanilla sugar soap just lastnight & LOVE IT! I think it looks like a chunk of marbled brownie (yumm!). All her soaps smell and look so good!

I'd like to experiment with some lip balms, and "hoping" my beeswax shows up here this afternoon. I didn't order any flavor oils though, is there anything else that I can use for flavoring that I may just have here?

Thanks,

Dawn

I finally had time to do some "playing" and came up with these. I like how they turned out, and they're super light, so shipping should be inexpensive. I thought these would be neat to display on desks, shelves, etc. I'm also going to design some for "baby" (with baby shower centrepieces in mind), place cards, and they'd look cute for weddings, in the centre of the tables. What do you think?

Just wondering who here has blogs? I had a friend offer to make one up for my webshoppe, and I'm thrilled how perfect it turned out. Don't want to step on any feet though by posting the link to it.

Very cute! Your niece will love it.

Thanks for all the compliments! I've been painting for over 10 years now, and this was my first attempt at a floor cloth. This design/pattern is by Terrye French. This afternoon, I'm attempting to paint some window screen:yay:

Dawn

Thanks Jenn. It is all hand-painted by me.

This is a first for me to paint, but I love how it turned out. I've got it listed on ebay, as well as a bunch of other painted creations if anyone's interested.

I just finished painting this suitcase, and I love how it turned out.

It's been storing my candles for the last month or two, so it smells OH so good! I'm going to add it to my webshoppe, but thought I'd share a picture of it.

Thanks for looking,

Thanks everyone! It's sure been fun playing, but I've still got a lot to learn and would like to stock up on more different beads all ready.

Dawn

I'm a painter by heart! I love to paint (suitcases, wall hangings, cupboard doors, etc.). I cut my own woodcrafts and paint, paint, paint!

I've been painting for over 10 years now, and hope to open my own road-side shoppe in my yard in the next couple of years.

Dawn

Please be nice, these are my very first attempts.

What do you think?

Those are gorgeous Jenny! I love the name of them too,

Great work!

I made this recipe today, and poured some into my kids bath a few mins ago. They weren't in there too long, before they both got sore "butts":cry2: and had to get out. Did I do something wrong? Or maybe this is for adults and not kids tender skin? I followed the recipe, any suggestions? Hubby's in a bath as I type this, so he's trying it out. Jeepers, I bought all these ingredients, in hopes of adding them into gift pkgs. I'm thinking if anything, it may be the baking soda, maybe I could make them with epson salts instead of soda? Any suggestions appreciated,

TIA,

Dawn

I am very interested in your ornies, does anyone have a pic or instructions on making these?

Thanks,

Dawn

I don't know if this is in the right forum, but don't know where else to post it. I am right out of wax! But would like to do some experimenting with fo's and dyes, what other kinds of things can I do? I've got some water crystals here that I'm going to play around with for some smelly jellies, and fo. I was thinking of doing up some sort of fabric scented, cut them into hearts, stuff them, and display them in a bowl for a centrepiece. Any other ideas GREATLY appreciated,

Thanks kindly,

Dawn

Hi there,

My name is Dawn, and my new years resolution is to learn something new. I am wanting to learn candle making as I'm a candle fanatic! I don't have a clue where to start, what to buy, where to buy, etc. I live in rural Manitoba (Canada), and if there are any other Canadians that would like to email me, "please" feel free to and give me some suggestions on where to start. If anyone would like to email me, please do. I am so excited about trying my hand at candle making. For the past 8 years or so, I have been wood crafting and painting, and have been slowly losing interest in it.

Happy new year,

I'm so glad that I found this group!

Dawn
