A Re'NEW'ing kind of gift

ok..corny title but just go with it.

I saw this great tutorial on greenbean crafterole a while back.  

fyi - Carrie's blog it so full of great ideas, it's ridiculous!  

Anyhoo.  I put her 'garden scrub' on my list of projects.  

Cut to -- me picking up diapers and milk at Wal Mart yesterday (jealous?) 

I saw Dawn Hand Renewal dish soap on sale (2/$4.something).  

I grabbed it and came up with my clever 'reNEWing' hand scrub favor idea :)  

I had several jars left over from the pumpkin scrub I made for Thanksgiving.  

I knew I had enough sugar, so these would be very inexpensive take-aways.

Here's how it went

dump in the sugar (almost to the top)...add soap

Mix it together.  *use a knife to mix (makes it so much easier)  

You may need to add more sugar/soap to get the consistency you want.

I ended up with a pale pink color

(which makes me think this would be perfect for Valentine's teacher gifts)

Plus it has a great, light scent.

Of course, now I need something extra.  I found a great clock face image from 

The Graphics Fairy.  I resized it and added my cutesy name.  

Tied it to the jar with a simple black ribbon.

If you'd like your own tag, here it is with the cutesy name.  

Here is it without the name.  

{it's cut with a 3" circle punch}

Enjoy!
