Home-Made Spa

It seems my daughter's friends are all turning 9.  Wow.  They are getting out of the toy-stage of childhood and onto other things.  We like to give home crafted gifts, if we can.  When the kids were really little, this was easy.  Knit a mermaid, sew a pencil case, that sort of thing.  But for a 9 year old?  Hmmm.
Then I came across an article in Living Crafts Magazine on Lavender Crafts.  Fun!  So both kids and I made some Lavender Bath Bombs and Lavender Sugar Scrub one afternoon, in bulk, to give to 3 friends turning 9.

Lavender flowers from our garden

Add: baking soda, citric acid, organic olive oil and lavender essential oil according to recipe, and

press into molds.

Let dry for 24-48 hours, and 

Ta-Da!  Cute, huh?
