"The moment I saw this the gears in my brain started turning. I have a bunch of left over tiles from a bathroom renovation. I was thinking trivet but now a wall hanging came to mind. Maybe a big one with my initials in the middle and flowers and leaves on the border."

"What a neat set of gloves. You can never have too many of them. I have a habit of getting stains on all of mine. That's why I make them out of cotton yarn so I can wash them. And this is a very easy pattern to follow. Thanks for sharing it."

"I would like this for the grand kids. I come from a generation that had to learn the states and the Capitol of each. They don't teach that any longer. That's why my 12 year old nephew thinks Vermont is out near Colorado. This would be a great helper in learning."

"What a cute idea. It's easy, cute and very inexpensive. In other words it's calling to me and I intend on answering it. It's just to easy to pass it by. I will paint them red to match my color theme in my kitchen. I love things I can customize to fit in."

"I love it. You can get dishe's and candle sticks at the dollar tree so it will cost you $3. Try buying a dish for that. I have some pieces of my moms old plates that would look great and I won't be forced to toss them. I made a smaller dish by using a bread plate and a saucer. It's on my end table with dome candy kisses."

"I cut up some white bars of soap into chunks and put each bar in the mic on high for 1 minute until a big fluffly cloud. Next I added a few drops of red food coloring and big tablespoon of crushed candy cane & press into pan .5" thick. Fill pan and when cool, cut, wrap in plastic and add a ribbon. Make a candy-can tripod (leave plastic on) with support bars for soap holder."

This would be a great stocking stuffer, especially for the women, but I have a few questions about it. First, I can't quite wrap my head around the idea of something sticky in a bar of soap! Then, wouldn't the crushed candy be rough? Or does it dissolve fast enough when the soap is used?

Such great questions! I looked at Starr's blog to see if others had similar questions, and this is what she said: "I was worried the crushed candy cane would be sticky but not at all it an excellent exfoliate. Thanks for checking it out!" I hope that helps! -Editor of FaveCrafts
