Sometimes you just have to STOP what you’re doing....
and COVER your SOAP!
This is not what I had planned to do today
but you probably know how we can get into a small project...
and get carried away!
I saw the idea on Funky Time and downloaded
the Heavenly Soap image HERE!
Then I used a pretty watercolor background from my friend Karen at a Scrapbook of Inspiration !
Looked on the Graphic’s Fairy blog to get the Swan image
and my whole day has been spent having FUN!
I was wondering what I would do with this old candy tin!
PERFECT!
Now it’s perfect! I tucked a seashell in the box!!!
Wait a minute! be back in a bit...hubby needs me...
“Honey!!! Where’s the SOAP!?!”
‘Just use this lovely bath gel, sweetie!
We’re all OUT of soap!’
heeheehee!
I’m joining Suzanne for Vintage Thingy Thursday !
and Brambleberry Cottage for Time Travel Thursday !
I’ve also found Cherry Street Cottage and it’s her FIRST linky party so I’m linking with her! Let’s encourage her ladies!
I’m at Thrifty Thursday today, too!
She has posts about her trip to Florida that I am enjoying! Some of them in ‘MY’ part of Florida! OH JOY!!!
I’m linking with the VERY first Thrifty Things Friday!
ENJOY YOUR DAY!

You are too cute. I love the soap idea and saved the post to use the links later and make some Easter soaps for the daughters-in-law. Thanks for the great idea it does look like fun.
You make me grin. It does look very pretty.
That is so cute Diane. I love the special touches.
Why not? It looks beautiful! And such a nice gift to give!
Really cute, love the swan graphic!

Thank you soooo much for the soap images..I couldn't find the swan one but got the rest and will use them the next time I make some soap. I do use the melt and pour soap (I am kind of lazy) and I did try and shave and melt Dial soap but couldn't get it to melt...have you ever tried it?
Sweet idea...makes soaps so special!
What a compliment that you used one of my images. I just adore what you did. I wish I had been there too. I just love getting lost in a project that requires assembling papers and treasures. I just love what you did. Thank you for mentioning my image. Please feel free to take any image that you like from my blog. If there is one you cannot download just e-mail me.
I bet you feel so satisfied with the results.
Karen
P.S. Now don't let anyone use that soap tee hee.
Oh how darn cute! I just love the labels. Everyone around here knows not to unwrap a pretty soap! LOL! Poor hubs.
hugs

I love it!! So fun. I love details like this :)
Very creative and pretty labels! I had to smile at "we're OUT of soap" haha!
What a pretty idea! I have a basket full of pretty soaps I've acumulated and now I'll know how to recover them when their paper gets shabby. Love your swan holders!
What a wonderful idea! Love how you displayed the soaps in the vintage tin!!!
oh they look beautiful! its nice to look at them in a different environment!!! I will put a link;-)
That is too cute!! I love this idea and it sure makes the soap look so cute!!! Love that vintage tin you used to display them with...so cute. Happy VTT!
Your soaps and your vignette are just as cute as can be! It's obvious you had a very fun day. Happy VTT!!
Love,
Susan and Bentley

Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment on my puzzle and looking for the answer to a Million Dollar Question... I really think you are right we are all feeling the strain of this sluggish economy and our pocketbooks are very tight. Gas prices alone are enough to make us feel the pain ouch! I sure do think your project today is just darling what a great idea! oxox, Diane
Oh, these turned out just WONDERFUL!! I love the way you displayed them in the candy tin. Thank you for sharing the links, too! : )
LOL, you are naughty, but your soaps look wonderful! xxx
You display everything so prettily.
Love this!!
Oh how cute. I always get carried away with a new project too!! ~~Sherry~~
That added an extra touch! Nice idea to remember, thanks for sharing it.

Love your soaps!! Your vignette is very cute!
Wow! What a great project. I could so easily get involved in this and just keep going with it. These would make such nice gifts, wouldn't they? You did such a good job with the display, too pretty to use now:)
Oh your wrapped soaps are so pretty and fun. That would have been such a fun way to spend an afternoon. I love pretty little touches like this. And they look beautiful in your old candy tin! thank you for joining me at my first TTF party!!
Hi Diane! Thanks for leaving me the sweet note yesterday. I have been so busy at school there just hasn't been time to post. Must confess that I've been stalking everyone and not leaving notes. bad...bad...bad.
Your soap project is adorable. Little touches like that make such a difference in the look of a room. The tin is beautiful the way you fixed it up. Great idea!
Fun post, Diane. Your tin is the perfect holder for everything, it looks great.
It turned out great, what a nice touch:@)
I think this is a wonderful idea! Why can't all soaps look this pretty?!! I wouldn't want them opened either. Very cute!!
I am your newest follower...love your blog!

Love your work :) Come check out my blog? :D
Ld, I love the soap covers you have made, these make for a beautiful display. Keep creating and have a great weekend.

Wow!!! Your pictures are fabulous and so are your handcrafts.
I am so ... well, I would say jealous, but I really am not "crafty" - so I will just say, I surely do admire your talent.
Really cute idea!
Well, look at you! Who would have imagined that "soap" could look so lovely. And you displayed your handicraft beautifully! ;)
Thanks so much for joining the party fun again.
Blessings,
