More Holiday Spirit

The grapefruit soap from yesterday cut beautifully and looks exactly as I had wanted. I'm really happy with it; the fragrance is so fresh and the colors are very cheerful. DH wanted to know what grapefruit had to do with Christmas time...really, it's just the time of year that it's ripe and I wanted an excuse to try out the fragrance! ;)

Today, I soaped the spruce fragrance I got. The soap, again, set up fast but I think this fragrance is well worth it! It's a great forest fragrance without smelling like Pine-sol. ;) It's got a little something else to it.....like when you are setting up your fresh Christmas tree in the front room while Mom made cookies. There's just a hint of sweetness that really sets it apart. Plus, the color turned out fantastic as well. These soaps I made into itty-bitty mini guest soaps. They'll be avaliable in sets of 6, in muslin bags. They'll be great for setting out for holiday guests, or tying to the top of a package as a bonus! They'd also be fun for secret Santa gifts or along with a plate of sugar cookies for your neighbor.
