Homemade Lemon Sugar Hand Scrub...

I figure that since I forgot to post last week I should post twice this week!!! =) Plus this was just too cool & TOTALLY me, so how could I resist sharing it with EVERYONE!!!

My Dear friend in Utah emailed me this today & I am in LOVE with it! It is a homemade hand scrub. All you need is:

~12 oz Mason Jar

~2 1/2 cups of Sugar
~1 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
~4 Table spoons Lemon Juice

Mix really well until you get a gritty paste, then spoon into your mason jar.
You only need a very small amount and it may need to be mixed before you use it. Tie a spoon to the side of the jar & leave it with the jar!!

WAHLAAA.......

My friend used this for gifts for her son's teacher & for her friends birthday gift!!! LOVE IT!!! Hope you enjoy!!

Recycled Fabric Ideas....

This week I have been REALLY thinking ALLOT about how I can reuse some of my OLD 'JUNK'!!! Well here are some GREAT ideas:

One of my very good friends over at Lolly Jane Boutique had this AWESOME idea. I have so much left over fabric & with having 3 little girls I should be reusing it for fun girlie things. So here is a great idea for reusing your scrap fabric or old T-shirts like she used.

Head over to www.lollyjaneboutique.blogspot.com/ for the full detail!

Diaper Clutch Tutorial...

I LOVE finding new sewing projects to work on & I LOVE this one. I would have to say that this is one of the BEST tutorials that I have seen. Very details with great pictures.

I am hoping to finish mine tonight....but we will see what the hubbs thinks about me breaking out my sewing mess. =) I may loose that battle & have to finish it this weekend. But for those of you with kids or baby showers coming up, these make AWESOME gifts. I think they are so cute. You can buy material that matches your diaper bag & have them coordinate. Check it out & let me know what you think. I will post pictures as soon as I finish mine. I am also making a matching Wipes case. I will attach a link on how to make one of those as well. Even if you don't have a baby in need of wipes I LOVE these for the random messes that happen when you have kids or a messy husband ;)...

ENJOY...
