I just love the way everyone dressess up these $1 pillars, I needed a quick gift, so this was how I embellished mine. I collect reglious post cards & think this one is lovely.
Please use it if you like, I printed it onto vellum & it looked so pretty.
Then I picked up some different lavender soaps (her favorite) & fluffed them all up.
Karla's Cottage did a Valentine decorating post showing how she pretties up those ugly pump soaps. It kind of inspired me.
For this one I just photo copied a cabinet card photo & covered with vellum.
Secured with striaght pins, hope some unknowing guest doesn't really try to use this! Ouch!
I love instant gratification!

Friday night my art group got together to make up for last weeks snow storm. Boy did we have fun! I am not sure we accomplished a whole lot, but we laughed, shared ideas & talked about new projects. What fun to spend time with 10 highly creative & talented friends.
Lori, show your pretty face!
Our sweet hostess Joanna!

Lisa you have the most creative mind. I love those soaps. What a beautiful way to dress them up for gift giving.
It was so fun to see all you artists having a great time together and making your awesome stuff. I'm sure it is a wonderful outlet too
hugs.
Hey, Lisa, it looks like y'all had a great time at Friday night craft night. I wonder what I'd have to bribe Joanna with to get her to invite me next time! Fun fun fun! It's so nice to have so many talented artists right here in our community. Loved your "dressed" soaps. What a lovely vignette they make (and wonderful gift idea!)
Love your gifts. Thats the cutest way I've ever seen soap displayed. So romantic!! Thanks for the pics. Had a great time with you and the girls Fri. night and thank you again for the calendar. I love it. You are so sweet!
Hugs, Pat
Love the Mary candles. Beautiful. Looks like lots of fun at the art group!
I'm always amazed when I see such creativity -- taking the simplest of things and turning them into something spectacular. Such wonderful ideas. Those soaps are so elegant now and way too pretty to use. Many blessings for a happy day! Tammy
We were a MOTLEY CREW that night. Gimmeny we all look like we'd had a hard week. But, we did have fun didn't we. And my goodness the sugar overload from the desert table was a high for a week. Glad Pat brought some chips to have the salt help cut the sugar. Let's get together soon I want to see your new studio. And let's go to Anthropoligy. What's you week like? I still need to be gone from the house a lot. Can't stand the quiet! HUGS! Charlene
Love it all... thanks for sharing
You made those soaps for me? And the candle???
Oh Lisa, you shouldn't have!
oh..
you didn't...
Well, okay then.
;)
Seriously, they are gorgeous!
Plus, you get to craft with the coolest girls. I wish I lived in Texas...that's where all the cool stuff is!
I'll be seeing Joanna in April in Savannah...she's such a sweetie. I only met her briefly at the airport in November but I am honored to have some of her work in my Silver Bella swaps.
Thanks for sharing the religious image~
