This soap was supposed to be something totally different... 😲... anyway, it didn't turn out to be so ugly, did it? 😢 ... the day after...   I had plenty of soda ashes, but I think that this time they came in handy! The top looks foamy and the white and blue curls look like sea waves 🌊🌊🌊 Recipe: Olive oil (pomace)  30% Coconut oil  30% Palm oil (organic)  30% Canola oil  10 % Note that the palm oil I buy from  The Soap Kitchen   'carries Organic Certification and comes from Columbia. It is not produced on land that has been taken from the Rain Forests, nor are there any Orangutangs made homeless. Our suppliers do use 'ethical' methods in their production (we have actually visited the site). Our Columbian suppliers are members of the RSPO (Round Table for Sustainable Production of PalmOil).' Colours:  orange  and  violet  liquid soap dyes. Liquid dyes can be a bit of a pain bec...

I made these bookmarks with a huge amount of love because they are for a special initiative: they will be distributed to hospitalized young patients, their parents and to the hospital personnel taking care of them.  Bookmarks for  Scrap4smile   From left to right: The Polka dots sunflower, butterfly tree, Lotus, tartan alphabet, Japanese holidays, balloons 

I had a very late request for Xmas candles 😓 ⏳⌚ 😓 , but the good thing is that I had been given 100% of freedom on the choice of colors, decorations, fragrance, container 😃🎉🎇 This year, I've been so into glass recycling that I've been using jam jars for almost all my container candles. I particularly love the jars from the French brand La Bonne Maman ( see HERE ) because they are big , easy to work with (you don't have to struggle to stick the wick holder to the bottom of the container) and original ! They have a screwable lid that helps to preserve the candle fragrance and protect the decorations on top. Last, but not least, they can be washed in the dishwasher and you can recycle them as many times as you want. For these candles I've used soy wax ( Click for an overview of waxes ), cinnamon fragrance  (which I've also used in other projects such as in  HERE  and  HERE ), a lead-free cotton-wick, and tiny decorations made of soy wax ...

I like to recycle every bit of paper when I'm crafting!!! ♲ At the beginning of this week I've been re-sizing Xmas craft paper to create soap boxes with the envelop punch board and ended up with a bunch of paper strips ... I kept wondering for a day or two what to do with these paper leftovers and all of a sudden their simple shape suggested me to create Xmas-themed bookmarks ! You always think you have too many bookmarks (receipts, postcards, flyers😅), but when you need a nice one... you never find one! 😁 Step 1) I reinforced the back of the bookmarks with red cardboard  Step 2) I've die-cut some Xmas trees with this lovely Sizzix set ...or used leftover Xmas trees from the shaker cards project you can find  HERE , and glued them on the front of the bookmarks. Step 3) I've cut a tiny rectangular opening on the upper part of each bookmark and threaded an organza red ribbon through the slit. Step 4) I've printed out some sen...
