Newbie to this AMAZING board!

Hi ladies!  I have just discovered this amazing board and I am SUPER EXCITED!  I have taken up DIY and craft projects since I went on maternity leave last May.  I have been creating such fun things for my daughter Alivia. I really wanted her room to be full of personal items that I made just for her.   From there I discoved that I love making lots of things... My latest project was 15 mason jars of Homemade Peppermint Sugar Scrub to gift to all my favorite ladies this holiday season.  My house smelled DELISH.  I look forward to getting to know all you crafty moms and learning some things.  Finding this board is by far the highlight of my month!  Here's the recipe for my sugar scrub and a photo of the finished product for those who are interested in trying it out!

I simply took two cups of white granulated Sugar and mixed in a 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup Almond Oil (Coconut Oil or olive oil will work too).  Add the oil slowly till you have a nice soft consistency that is soft but not too oily.  Then add a few drops of peppermint essential oil.

You can make lots of different scented srubs... just choose the essential oil scent that you want.  Lemon, orange, lavender the list goes on and on. 

Side note-  I hope that these pictures post.  If not the link will take you to my photobucket account.

Awesome (: I copied your recipe for the scrub because I was wanting to do something cute and easy like this for all my girlfriends and female family members and in-laws! :D 

What kinds of things have you made for your daughter and her bedroom?

I'm all into making things for LO, I've made him a quilt and I had a Christmas stocking made for him with his name monogrammed on it!

I'm wanting to make personalized soft blocks for all my girlfriends' kids and possibly to sell later on!!!

I hope you like the scrub! It works great!  So far I have made curtains, crib skirt, lamp shade mobile (which I will post because I am so proud of it) ,  wall collage of frame and such, refurbished an antique mirror,  refurbished shelf to hang her hooded towels on, blankets. I am currently working on a hanging bow and headband holder and a book sling.  I'm out of control! lol

 I would love to tackle a stocking for her.  I need to work on my sewing machine skills.

I love making body scrubs too, but I use grapeseed oil.  :)
