Hi, guys! Just wanted to share my excitement ... I'm *actually* working

on a bath and body project! LOL!

My mom is a basketweaver, and her hands get *really* dry and chapped from

dipping her basket reeds in water all the time. So ... for Mother's Day, I

thought that I would make her a basketweaver's bath and body gift basket. I

bought this *perfect* melt-and-pour soap mold from Wholesale Supplies Plus

recently:

ctName=Basket+Weave+Soap+Mold+(MW+25)

I know that she'll love it. I'm planning to make some kind of shea butter

lotion for her hands ... something *really* thick and soothing. And I

ordered this fragrance ~ Nantucket Briar ~ to go along with the basket theme

(Nantuckets):

I was *really* nervous about ordering that oil without ever having sniffed

it! hehe But it smells *really* good, and I think that Mom will enjoy it,

too.

Now ... let's hope that I'll be able to get her basket done in time for

Mother's Day! She's attending a basketweavers' convention in September, and

they're having a Chinese auction ~ so if the basket is a hit, I might make a

basket to donate to their auction, too.
