We have come up with a great business idea for Christmas but I can't let you in on the secret just yet. It is all still in the 'making' (if you know wat I mean) but can let you know soon. We are getting a few ideas together for the festival in November. Fingers crossed they work out - will post some photos soon. . . .

We just have to wait until it's 'made' then will post it up. Obviously it is something for Christmas and is soap - that's it, not saying any more ;)

Okay, okay . . . geez, put the pressure on . . . . . . .

Leigh was right, its Candy Cane Soap.

We are calling it "Peppermint Candy Cane".

It is still shaped as the normal soap but it will have 6 stripes - green, red & white. It will have the peppermint fragrance so it will look & smell like candy cane. It hasn't been made as yet but I will post a photo of it once it's done.

I am going to package it with a small Christmas card/tag & Christmas ribbon. Just for a small gift to add to presents or for kids who want to buy a small gift for the Kinder or School teacher. I will have them at the Festival so I am hoping they will be a hit.
