Soapcrafting and a snowflake coloring page

As promised- a coloring page from the art on yesterday's snowflake box. I really like this knotwork snowflake. Click the images below for larger version to print and color.

Today's Homemade Holiday 101's spotlight is about setting up a soapmaking kitchen AND has a great giveaway for a beginning soapmaking set from Brambleberry. Also! Soap Crafting (link to my review) is marked down considerably in Kindle format. Short version? If you have an interest in making gorgeous cold process soap and love color, this is a book you'll want.

Homemade Holidays 101 and a free printable snowflake box!


I'll be doing an update soon about what's been going on the last couple of weeks. But first, a brand new printable box and information about a great promotion from Workman Publishing.

They are having a sweepstakes, and you get a prize just for entering. The prize is your choice of one of 4 e-books. 3 are cookbooks, and one is a knitting/crochet book. Sign up for their newsletter and you're entered. It's that easy. You can sign up here- Homemade Holiday 101. Check out the blog for the cutest knit penguin pattern around while you're there.  Also they will be having fantastic deals on some of their great books for the holidays.

I'm not being paid to promote this or anything like that, but I'm a big fan of Storey and Workman books. They are great guides to self-sufficiency, cooking and crafting.

The grand prize? A Nexus tablet with some great e-books preloaded. (I'll be reviewing one of them soon!) and 5 runner ups will win a 25 dollar gift card to the online bookseller of their choice.

About the box-
It snowed. October broke all kinds of heat records for Alaska, then all the sudden, with very little warning, temps dropped and it's all white, snowy and frosty outside. Posting a snowflake of some sort shortly after the first snow is getting to be kind of a tradition here. I hope you enjoy it.
