My homemade soaps are now cured and ready for sale. I will be taking them along with a few more of different scents to a craft fair in August. I will be making Lemon Zest and Oatmeal & Honey. All smell wonderful and are great on the skin. Shown are Olive Oil & Rosemary and Lavender Soaps. The ingredients for the Olive Oil & Rosemary are: olive oil, coconut oil, vegetable shortening, distilled water, rosemary lye, and pure essential oils of lavender, lemon, and rosemary.
I wrapped each bar in cellophane and wrapped it with a colorful band with the name of the soap on the front and the ingredients on the back. Homemade soaps usually sell from $3 - $5 a bar, but I sell mine for $2 each. They make great Christmas gifts with a personal touch.
Welcome to my craft blog. Thanks for stopping by. I am sharing with you my handmade greeting cards as well as other interesting crafts. I hope these will inspire you to send a card or give a little gift to someone who needs to know you are thinking about them. Perhaps your card will encourage their day. If you think you see something you like and don't want to make it yourself, I do sell most of these items I list. Blessings to you, Linda

Advice From A Tree |
Verse inside:
Advice From A Tree
Stand tall and
proud.
Go out on a limb.

roots.

your natural
beauty.

Just For You |
Trust In God |
Verse inside:
We all have our
days where we feel we can’t survive.
Sometimes dreams are shattered, friendships may fall apart.
Loved one’s
my hurt us. Finances may worry us.
Sickness may overtake us.
We may even lose
people we love.
But God will ALWAYS
be there to guide us
through even the toughest of times.
Never lose FAITH.
Hold onto HOPE.
TRUST IN GOD
ALWAYS!
You've Got This |
This is a card I made for a friend who has cancer.
Verse inside:
What Cancer
Cannot Do
Cancer is so
limited…
It cannot
cripple love
It cannot
shatter hope
It cannot
corrode faith
It cannot
destroy peace
It cannot
kill friendship
It cannot
silence courage
It cannot
invade the soul
It cannot
steal eternal life
It cannot
conquer the spirit.

Greeting Cards
Mother's Day is almost here. I made several cards like this one for some lady friends. I give them even if they are not mothers, because they are special. The verse says:
You are wonderfully made by God.
You are precious and special to Him.
He created you perfectly and beautifully.
You are His perfect angel.
Jesus loves you and we love you.
Happy Mother's Day.
Happy Mother's Day |
The cards below are more encouraging cards I have made for shut-ins,
sick friends, and Natalie's Sisters Ministry.
Bee Strong |
Good Morning, this is God |
Nothing is impossible! |
God is changing your heart |

In this card I added "How to be Saved" and a Sinner's Prayer.
In this double pocket card I added a package of tea with a note:
"Life is like a cup of tea... it's all in how you make it."
