Honey Strawberry Sugar Scrub

Honey Strawberry Sugar Scrub
Last year I didn't spend nearly enough time with my friends. I let the months slip by and before I knew it it was 2015.  So I decided to have more mini parties focused on crafting, baking and learning new things.  This last weekend 3 friends and I made honey strawberry sugar scrubs.  My friends really looked forward to this get together.  I got the recipe from Tried and True

As we made the scrubs everyone commented on how wonderful it smelled.

No mini party is complete without food and I took the opportunity to try another new thing for me, making scones. I made strawberry scones from Baked by Nature to go along with the strawberry theme.

I used a heart shaped cookie cutter to shape the scones. They turned out delicious. Warm them up in the oven or microwave and they're just as good the following morning.

I love loft house style sugar cookies so when I saw a recipe for them from Two Peas and Their Pod, I had to try it. I found the dough was super sticky, which she tells you it's sticky but I didn't realize how sticky. I ended up using more flour on my surface then I thought and I think it caused the cookies to taste a little too floury.

My friends thought these little cherubs were so cute!  I love little details at my parties.

I served a wonderful tasting strawberry bubbly soda to tie in the theme.

Tried and True doesn't tell you how many 8 oz Mason jars her recipe makes so I'll tell you :) It makes 5.  This scrub make your shower smell wonderful and leaves your skin so soft.

My friends birthday is coming up and couldn't make it this weekend to create a scrub with us so I made her a little fun birthday box. 
Tried and True has a free printable on her site for this scrub but I wanted a different look, so I had Painting Paris Pink create this adorable printable. Painting Paris Pink is offering this printable for free, just click here.
