Blueberry buckle

This evening I thought I should try a new blueberry recipe, on my hunt I came across this blueberry buckle recipe on all recipe.com  now I had 2 different recipes up and was reading each one, and well kinda added a little extra. Along with the ingredients below I also added 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Also noted (maybe my oven) that I should have used a little bit bigger pan. End result, AWESOME!!!

Soaps unmolded

Here is the Bug Be Gone soap, always love the smell and pretty green swirls in this soap

Here is my rise and shine out of the mold and cut, colors didn't turn out quite how I wanted, still needs some cleaning up, 

Here is bonsai, dare I say I totally forgot this little batch of soap was on my drying rack, oh shame on me! 

Needless to say I love the smell and the multiple blue swirls in this soap. 

Bug be gone soap

Each year I seem to sell out of this wonderful blend of

essential oils I nicely call Bug be Gone!

usually at the first part of summer I have customers asking

me if I have any yet.  One customer has been a 5 plus years purchaser!

She has informed me that nothing works as well as this soap does

for keeping the bugs away. 

In this photo I have added my EO's and have gotten the soap

to a trace

                              I am now adding in my green colored soap for a neat swirl effect

                                Soap has been poured into the mold, you can see the marbling of color
                                                                      within the soap

                                    I am adding more green color to the top so I can create  more
                                                             of the swirled/marbled look

                                          Soap has been swirled and molded.  I love this mold
                                            each bar comes out pretty close to the same size

I will be posting pictures soon of the bug be gone and the Rise and shine

look like once they are out of the mold

Rise and Shine Soap

Used my new 1 lb mold I got from Anne Marie over at Brambleberry

I love the fresh crisp scent of Rise and Shine, 

It's a wake you up, and make you feel so good kind of smell.

Trying to accent the differnt citrus scents with colors

of orange, pink and yellow and a hint of white

                                      Looking forward to unmolding this soap soon!
