Dottie's Soap Recipe
Dottie's Morning Blend (or Morning Sunshine)
My Inspiration for this recipe is my son who will turn two next month. Jimmy loves to drink orange juice with a touch of sugar in the morning before breakfast. He is like me, ready to eat as soon as his eyes pop open in the morning! The smell of this citrus blend reminds me of his shining blue eyes in the morning every time I wash my hands with it (I have some in the kitchen). Jimmy loves to sniff this soap.
I have had several requests for a citrus or lemon soap at craft shows and I am pleased with the way this soap came out, I am now offering it there. It is an all natural soap colored with Hungarian Paprika from the Amish store. I made it CPOP which I am new at but I think it turned out okay, could be a little harder but it seems to last quite a while. I hope you like this soap as well as Jimmy and I do.
