Hi
So did mine. I was so excited when I opened the door this evening and there it was, I dropped everything I was holding just so I could open it.

It is gorgeous. I want a bath NOW!!!!! So I can use it.

Thank you so much Fee. I hope my packages arrive OK and that you think they are interesting enough.

Cheers
Zoe

Aww...shucks guys...

Who sent me the lovely paper bundle?
It must have been someone from here because it said 'The Fee Fairy' on the address!

It is a lovely bundle...i'm planning to take a cigarette packet apart to use as a template to put some other soaps in to send to people with the card.


Thanks guys! I love swapping for interesting things!

There'll be some sweet pea and lilac soap in the offing in a month or so's time!

Ours arrived today - Chris was so taken with it that he brought it with him when he came to pick me up from work today. It looks like I may have to fend off my daughter for it too!! lol
Thank you so very much Fee - you are one clever and generous lady!!
The sweet pea and lilac sounds fantastic - we may have to think up a very special swap!!

[Thomzo]

Hi Fee
I sent you two parcels. I meant to put a card in with them and forgot. One contained the bundle of different cards and paper. The other had some small wreaths and things in it.

I join everyone else in saying Thankyou Fee.

Although we did our swap a wee while ago, I have stored the soap away for another few weeks - dring it out makes it last longer, I do it with all my soap. I look forward to using it

[the.fee.fairy]

Aha! I have both parcels Zoe- Thankyou so much! I'm planning to make a dreamcatcher with the bigger wreath and some of the buttons, and possible a mobile with the others.

I'll definitely be swapping the sweet pea and lilac when its ready, i cut it this morning and there's loads of it!!

[Milims]

Fee- I tried your soap last night - its the first soap I've ever used that left my skin feeling properly clean and soft and not like I'd been torched and sprayed with itching powder!! You are a hero!! Thank you so much!

[the.fee.fairy]

Yeay! I'm glad you like it!

[Thomzo]

I've used mine as well and it didn't irritate my skin at all. Fantastic and so pretty.

Are you planning to sell it for Christmas presents?

Zoe

Woo hoo - I tried out the shampoo bar and my hair has been admired by 3 different people so far today!! And Chris says his hair fells pretty good too - may have to run my hands thru it later just to check Please please please could you post the recipe so I can make my own - unless of course you fancy being my permanent supplier!! lol

[the.fee.fairy]

Not a problem. When i find the book that the recipe was in (its been kindly 'put away' for me...) i'll post it.

oo name the book too.. seems to be a hit

[the.fee.fairy]

Melinda Coss's Handmade Soap.

It took me ages to find a good copy. If you see it at a decent price, buy two copies!!

She's really good at explaining the process, with lots of pictures.

The shampoo one, i changed the recipe slightly - it was supposed to be egg and lemon shampoo, but i miscalculated how much lemon oil i had, and i'm dark haired - lemon is usually recommended to blondes, so i swapped it for lemongrass and sweet orange. I think the orange takes the sickly edge off of the lemongrass.

I seem to be the only one who doesn't like the shampoo though!! I might have to give it another go when i'm off work at the weekend. Maybe i didnt rinse it properly or something the first time.

Still haven't found the book! Going to hunt for it tomorrow.

You aint gonna believe this!! A good friend of mine bought me that book in 2001 but so far I've never had the courage to try anything! Guess what we are going to be making!!
