L’Occitane Soap Bag with a Detailed Dragonfly Twist

9 February, 2017 by lizyuille Leave a Comment

9 Feb

One of the many things I enjoy about what I do, is being able to take something really quite ordinary and package it in a really special way, turning the mundane into a really lovely gift for someone. I think this really embraces the old saying that ‘it is the thought, not the gift that matters’.

Now I LOVE, L’Occitane soaps, and pretty much everything else they do, and I would never suggest that a gift of one of their soaps is mundane or ordinary, but I think you get where I am going with this.

I like the original version I made, using Blooms and Bliss Designer Series Papers, but I actually think I prefer the By The Shore version; I think it has cleaner lines and is just that bit more elegant. What do you think? Which do you prefer?

Remember that if you place an order through my online shop, you will get a little thank you from me, and that if your order is over £25 and under £150, you should also use the current Hostess code so you get a share in the Hostess Rewards for the month. These will be sent out by me in the middle of the following month.

Any order over £25 (excluding P&P) also qualifies you as a member of the VIP Rewards Club. Just remember not to select ‘No Contact’ when you place your order.

If your order is over £150, don’t use the Hostess Code, as you will win your own rewards, and until the end of March 2017, you get even more Hostess Rewards than usual. If your order is over £200, you will get an ADDITIONAL £20 in rewards!! AND Sale-a-Bration items. Go on, you know you need stuff!!

Dimensions – 
8-1/2 x 6″ (23 x 15 cm – the bag will be a little large in metric)
Score Long edge at 3, 4, 7 and 8″ (7.5, 10.5, 18.5, 21.5 cm) 
Score Short Edge at 1″ (3cm)
Turn paper over and with the Long edge at the top (with the scored edge at the bottom), score at 1/2 and 4-1/2″ (3 and 14 cm) BUT only down about 2″ (5 cm)

I am being realistic and we have reset my Personal Bests for during this time in my life. But each week back at the gym is increasing those Personal Bests, which is great for the ego. It's all about being realistic.
