Christmas Craft~ Bath Salt

So, I can't share most of my Christmas Crafts I am doing until after Christmas because they are going to be presents for people who read on here. But this one I can! YEAH!
I have a bunch of those people that I need to find a small gift for. This includes those I visit teach, co-workers, neighbors, and friends that maybe I want to do a little something for to just let them know I am thinking about them. So what can I do for them while on a budget? Well, I found this "recipe" in the newspaper and LOVE IT! ....IT IS.......

HOME MADE BATH SALTS!!!!
In order to make these Bath Salts, you will need to head to your local grocery store (bulk section is great for the dry items) and pick up the following:
SEA SALT
BAKING SODA
EXTRACT
(Peppermint or Cinnamon are great this time of year)
Here is the "recipe":
1 cup Sea Salt
1 cup Baking Soda
1 Tablespoon Extract
Mix all ingredients together and scoop into mason jars.
To make a decorative lid, glue some Christmas fabric, old Christmas cards, etc, inside the lid.
Tie a ribbon around the jar with a home made tag and you are done.

The Christmas Season

The Christmas Season is here! I am SO excited! Last year, I took on a HUGE blogging task in doing the 25 Blogs of Christmas. I am NOT doing that again this year. While I loved that experience, it became more of a chore then a joy.

This year, I am making most of my gifts. I have some great ideas and I wish I could share them with you all now, but since most the people I am making them for, read this blog, I will have to save them for after Christmas. Thanks to everyone who gave me ideas.
