Budget101.com : Re: Book Safe

Thank you, Donna…good luck with the book safe. Trying to keep the edges
straight is a bit tricky, but I found a sharp pair of nail scissors worked
just fine to fix any pages that weren’t quite in line!

Here’s a few popular and inexpensive bath time gifts, and I’m going to add
Christmas gift tags to the bath oil, and make Christmas sachets for the
Oatmeal Milk Bath Sachet project (I adore this stuff, makes me feel like
Cleopatra when I’m having a bath, because she was supposed to bathe in
milk!)

https://www.allfreecrafts.com/homemade_bath_oil.htm (basically baby oil, a
recycled jar, and potpourri)

The Milk Bath recipe follows the link, but you can print individual bath
sized sachet packets from this page, and I’ll be adding Christmas sachets,
hopefully later today:

Oatmeal Milk Bath Recipe
1 cup of cornstarch
2 cups skim milk powder
1/2 cup baking soda (increase this amount if your water is hard)
1/2 cup oatmeal
Mix all ingredients in a blender until the consistency of fine powder. Add
two or three tablespoons to your bath to soothe your soul and soften your
skin.

Cut pretty flowers from paper napkins to decoupage a matching jar and shaker
box, and fill the jar with the above Milk Bath recipe if you like:

This is a nice homemade gift for kids to make:

Use paint markers, or permanent ink markers, to pretty up a pillbox:

Think that’s it for now!
