A little 'do-it-yourself' project~

I seem to gravitate to those
do-it-yourself
projects~
Especially, when in the long run they save
time & money~
I ran across this one for homemade hand soap,
and it was just too easy to not make.
I love knowing what's in it~



Recipe:
1 bar of soap, grated
 (I used Meyer's, but you can use anything;
even a plain bar and then add essential oils...)
1-2 TB Glycerin 
(this is usually in a pharmacy section; I found it at a local Smith's store and Rite-Aid)
1 gallon of water
Just barely bring to a boil to dissolve soap, turn off, cover overnight.
Voila!

This recipe makes a little over a gallon, or it did for me.
I filled 4 hand soap containers, two regular, and two
with 'foam' dispensers and the above picture is what
I had left.  So, I'm guessing this will last me a good LONG while~
Here's a link with better pictures...

Enjoy~

A change of seasons~

Where we live, in our mountain home, the seasons are changing.  Already we have had snow dust the mountains more than once this fall....
