Christmas - a time of rejoicing in the joy, peace, and hope brought to mankind, it is also a time holding traditions and memories.  One of our family traditions is picking a Christmas tree from the woods on our farm.  In the middle of December we set a time for a "Christmas Tree Hunt" and when the day comes set out on the search.  While the tree we find is not the prettiest tree in the world, the cedar we pick is ours.  We bring it home, let it sit in water overnight, and then set it up in our dining room where we begin decorating it, carefully working around the prickly needles.  For the next ten days or so our home is filled with the fresh scent of cedar.

O Christmas Tree is a great soap for the holidays, or for anytime you feel like using a more "woodsy" scent.  It contains a blend of cedarwood and fir needle essential oils, combining the evergreen scent of two kinds of Christmas trees.  This soap is made with moisturizing goat's milk, olive oil, coconut oil, and red palm oil.  Its orange color comes from the palm oil which is loaded with vitamin E and carotene.

           O Christmas Tree is available in a variety of molds: Nubian doe with nursing kid, Dog, Lighthouse, Joy, and Christmas Tree.  You can purchase this soap here on Etsy.  If you would like a different shape than the bar of soap pictured, please include a note with your order.

Note: some people are sensitive to cedar and fir.  If you have an extreme sensitivity or allergy, this is not the soap for you.

Especially For You

I love clearance sales.  And I love clean closets.  That is why I am bringing you this great sale!  A couple of years ago I bought a lotion base to use for something.  Customizing it with my own scent and added ingredients, I had the bottle of lotion I needed.  Well, ever since then, the unused portion of the base has just been sitting in my closet (taking up space that I could be using for other supplies and just begging to be used).  Even though I make lotion, I hardly ever use it except during the winter when my hands get chapped.  Right now I have a lot more lotion than I can use!    

This unscented lotion is a nice gentle base, and can be customized in any size, scent, or with any special ingredient I have in stock.  Special ingredients include vitamin E, cocoa butter, shea butter, and mango butter.

I  have quite a few essential oils and fragrance oils to choose from: Peppermint, spearmint, bergamot, pink grapefruit, lemon, lime, sweet orange, lemongrass, verbena, rosewood, peru balsam, cedarwood, fir needle, eucalyptus, citronella, tea tree, lavender, ylang ylang, rose petals, coconut, holiday garland, vanilla bean, ginger, cinnamon leaf, nutmeg, clove bud, jasmine, clary sage, frankincense, cucumber melon, creamsicle, and white ginger amber. In addition to all of these fragrances I can also do a combination of oils to make a different scent. Several of these scents have not made it out to my main product line yet. 

Three different sizes of bottles are available: 2 oz, 4 oz, and 8 oz.

So how exactly does this clearance sale work?  First, pick what size of bottle you want.

2 oz - $0.75

4 oz - $0.75

8 oz - $1.00

Next decide if you would like any added ingredients.

2 oz bottle - $0.25/ingredient

4 oz bottle - $0.50/ingredient

8 oz bottle - $1.00/ingredient

Finally, pick your fragrance, is desired. 

2 oz bottle - $0.10/fragrance

4 oz bottle - $0.20/fragrance

8 oz bottle - $0.35/fragrance

Write down the list of what you would like, and then email me!  I will let you know how much shipping will cost (if applicable), and get it to you as soon as possible!  Sale is good as long as supplies last.

Example: You would like a 4 oz bottle of lotion ($0.75) with shea butter ($0.50), vitamin E ($0.50), and lemon ($0.20) and lime ($0.20) essential oils.  Total cost would be $2.15.
