my STAR, STARRY NIGHT

This was my Star, starry night project...sometimes you have to CELEBRATE!
the simplest things like, finding a tea towel the exact color as your kitchen. By using black paint, and a stencil you can turn a plain towel into a masterpeice that "GOGHS" with your theme!

GrEen ChaI TeA bath salts

Recipe for this little bit of heaven!

4 cups of epsom salts
(I used hand harvested mineral salts from Manitou Beach)
5 drops of green chai tea scent
3 drops of black pigment
1 drop red pigment
1 tbsp of glycerin
sugar cubes

In a bowl mix salts, scents, colors and glycerin mix until all colors make a solid color. For packaging I used a jar I had kicking around. Which then I pulled out my handy, dandy cricut and made a label "sweet n salty", when I put into the jar, I put sugar cubes and alternating layers with salts, just as the name says....

Attach the label with a wooden scoop, some raffia and ta da! first project of the new year completed!

PS The sugar cubes absorb the scent and are great for scrubbing those scratchity feet, while filling the tub put 2 scoops in and take out the cubes for a scrub and the salts make it devine to soak in!

TIME FOR CLEAN UP!

Its that time of the holidays when its bittersweet, the hussle and bustle are all done and the decorations that made the house beautiful need to find their way back to the garage! Its back into the routine and I will try not notice that the house looks so bare! So to keep my mind off the winding down I am onto the first project of the year, make some GREEN CHIA TEA bath salts and after a day of clean up a nice relaxing soak!
