No Scents

 This is me in Yankee Candle yesterday when I found out they discontinued the Witches Brew scented candles for Halloween. I was beyond sad.


 Back at home I remembered I had this......

...and this. It's the knock off fragrance I use for soap. I took some unscented tea lights, melted them down and added a spoonful of this and my house smelled just like Halloween. Now I need to learn how to make candles. Life is such a slippery slope when it comes to this crafting thing.



 Digging around in the soap supplies made me remember I had a lot of soap to wrap. I stopped on my way to Daughter's on Friday and picked up some paper for the job. I love those little 6x6 pads.



I had 30 bars that had been tested last week and are now ready to go.



 Among them-Witches Brew.



 It takes forever but I love this part.



Ta dah....half of the fall batch all wrapped and ready to go.



The other half finishes its cure next week. All together there are 70 bars I will need to rehome as soon as we all get a good run of moderate temps. Stay tuned....details to come.

    It's always so disappointing to find out favorite things can no longer be found. Kudos for finding a crafty way to "make do"!
    Your soap is better than any handmade soaps I've ever tried - and the wrapping is always so cool!

    I hate when companies discontinue my favorite things.

    Lucky you. You can make up your own!!! :-)

    It must smell divine in that soap making room of yours!! Making candles sounds fun too.

    Of all the ones to discontinue! Bleck! I love Witches brew. Your soaps, your wraps and your labels are amazing. Still enjoying the Breezes you sent.

    After decluttering this year I gave away most of my candles because I had way to many. Now I have Irma on the way and I had to go out and buy more. Love Witches Brew.
