I finally got my tax refund. Hurray!
I must say, I'm pretty proud of myself for doing them myself and itemizing a few deductions to boot! As a reward, I decided to buy a few things on Etsy.com, my favorite Web site for affordable and unique handmade goods.
Here's a look at what I purchased:
Debbie Chialtas is the owner of Soapy Love and sells adorable handmade soaps in the shape of a popsicle! The "soapsicles" come in a variety of colors and scents. Her soapy creations remind me of summers I spent chasing the ice cream truck as a child. For my Etsy purchase, I chose the Squeakymelon soapsicle because of it's sweet scent and bright color. When it arrived, my mailbox smelled like watermelon candy. It's pure heaven on a stick!
Lather up with one her whimsical soaps for only 8 bucks via her Web sites: soapylove.etsy.com or www.soapylove.com.
In addition to soap, I picked up a couple of her soap tutorials to try out at home. I'm always interested in trying new ways to make my own soap. I love her polka-dot and cameo soap tutorials.
Are you looking for an interesting gift? Debbie's soaps would make great wedding favors or stocking stuffers for the holidays.
