Those boxes were cute.I made these for my sisters this year and I put handmade soap in each one. I bought the soap on etsy, but I am going to learn how to make my own cold pressed soap soon.
I bought one of the books at an antique store and was given 2 more. It kills me to cut up a book so I tried to find books that weren't anything special. Just inexpensive.[I found the complete set of Sherlock Holmes stories published in 1960 and bought that one to give to my son to read. HE loves to read.

I am making these from the book pages now. I need to get my glue gun back from Trevor. He borrowed it for a school project and still has it. Maybe I will just pick up a new one.....
I am a soap maker and I started out with CP soap, but I get impatient! It's been a while but I mostly make hot process which can be used right away although I tend to let it sit for a couple of weeks to harden AND some scents start off really bad, but after a couple of weeks mellow and are very nice. I had one scent that would turn the soap a greenish poo brown, but would eventually turn to a beautiful cocoa brown after two weeks. Chemical reactions are weird.
Welcome Backyardlukker...although your BYC name kinda creeps me out.
