Helping Hands - Garden Soap
How Does Your Garden Grow, June Swap Winner
Introduction
Helping Hands - Garden Soap
Shary Fuller of Celestial Creations was one of the two winners in the "How Does Your Garden Grow" soap swap. Sharyl's soap was adorable, it was in the shape of a small flower pot and packaged in a hand-stamped bag tied off with a piece of jute. Way to go Sharyl!
